I was quoting the question that I assume the hypothetical kids were actually asking instead of “how did they do that”. The whole scenario only makes sense to me if they think CGI didn’t exist back then, in ye olden thymes, when The Princess Bride was made, and they can’t fathom how anything was done without CGI.
Personally I would’ve just left the parentheses off if I was still speaking for the kids and not adding my own context. But indeed, I hope you have a good day!
Do you think these hypothetical kids know that?
I don’t care about the hypothetical kids, I was responding to you who put ‘which is a modern thing’ in a parenthetical.

The parentheses are just making that super confusing.
I mean, it’s inside quotation marks, I don’t know how else I’m meant to indicate that it’s a quote. But alright, glad we cleared that up.
