That and unrealistic fantasies, like Okuu's nuclear fusion reactor. Basically anything that falls into obscurity, y'know, beyond the "border of common sense". And thing is, line between than and modern/relevant stuff is pretty fragile. An old mobile phone and (in retconned CoLA chapter) a handheld console are mentioned as objects that fell into Gensokyo. I feel that's what Yukari means in that "cruel, cruel thing" quote.
Youmu:> "Yeah, she went into one of the other rooms. I think she's filling out her notes on what's happened today." Reimu comments.

Myon:

Youmu:> Marisa thinks for a bit.

Youmu:> You close the box, and it locks on it's own with the key still in it's lock. Something feels off about the key when such happens, even though you see no flash from it.
> Close the box, quickly!
> "Uh..."
