OLS is well used in a lot of domains. If you have a continuous outcome you have a straightforward and very easy way to get a quick reliable estimate of some interesting parameter. The typical use in most social sciences is to implement some sort of difference-in-differences (or DiD event-study) estimate within a simple linear regression.
Star Trek teleportation might also be a bit murdery. You are disassembled to your molecules, sent over in a high energy beam and reassembled. Also there's a mild risk to end up in an evil mirror universe.
Own experience: If you hang out with the right group of kids in highschool you can learn how to walk out of a Kaufland with entire liquor bottles without paying. So they kinda teach it in schools.
