I wonder if people were never taught this, or if they just forget everything. Third grade for me…

Some have heated shelves or dispenser thingies too
- Comment on Why did/do sites such as the pyramids in Egypt or the Roman colosseum end up in an abandoned state, only to be "rediscovered" later? 3 weeks ago:
Reusing stones from ancient ruins used to be a widespread practice. I remember hearing a story, not sure how true it is, that the ottomans had plans to use the giza pyramids as a quarry. The practice of grinding up old mummies is almost as ancient as the mummies themselves. Used mainly for fertilizer I believe, and I think it was in vogue as a paint pigment for a while.
I know there are places, especially around the Mediterranean, where you can see foundation stones still etched with ancient hieroglyphic/whatever scrip just thrown in willie nillie.
I won’t condone everything the British museum has done, but a lot of these artifacts wouldn’t exist if they weren’t shipped off. Caring about the past and the artefacts left behind, while by no means new thing, most people for most of history didn’t seem to give two shits. Probably more concerned with not starving etc…

I’d watch a spinoff of just those two scientists. They had such good chemistry together.

- Comment on I'm gonna need more red colored crayons 4 weeks ago:
I always thought the British got a slightly worse rap than they deserved there. When the Ottoman empire collapsed, things were chaotic to say the least. Rising nationalism in an area where ethnicities are all over the place. A pocket here, a few villages there. Political systems that had been in place for a thousand years disintegrating. Large groups of nomads who are notoriously difficult to fit into ordered nation states.
Huge demographic shifts underway. People tend to overlook just how much more crowded the world is now than it was in 1920. What worked in 1890 was a nonstarter in 1990.
I don’t think any line on that map would have substantially changed things one way or another.

Some ancient Greek dude said all men should aspire to be like feral dogs, or something like that. Hope that helps.

Well, if I know my lore, the fediverse, Lemmy included, was created by self avowed communists.
And if the Luigi shenanigans, that is to say the censorship brought to bear on any discussion of the man or his alleged come, have shown us anything; it’s that the powers that be very much fear a class war. Besides commies have long been a favorite windmill to tilt at.
I think it’s safe to assume anything posted on here gets logged and analyzed.
That having been said, eat the rich, free Palestine, and healthcare for all!!

Dude I would homestead the shit out of that. Better be careful or he’ll have a bunch of lemmings (Lemmy nerds?) show up with a trowel and high hopes.
- Comment on I don't envy the humans pre-dentistry 4 weeks ago:
Depends on where they were and what they were eating. Humans are really amazing in that we can eat almost anything that’s not a straight up tree, and we’ve existed across the planet in just about every ecological niche. I remember reading somewhere they could estimate the age of desert burial/skeleton remains on how worn the teeth are due to the sand getting in the food. But I’m sure no processed sugar is pretty beneficial tho

Honestly dealing with tankies is far easier than having capitalism shoved down your throat in the form of paid posts and ai “engagement” comments. I never get the feeling anyone is trying to sell useless shit or running some half-assed psyop on me.
I even got a new polish gf named Nichole!

No, much later. Transmissions in trucks work differently and have to withstand so much more stress. Wasn’t till the early 00’s that anyone got serious about them.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 5 weeks ago:
I drove one of the first semi trucks with an automatic transmission, and that thing was dangerous. It would pop me out of gear going down hill, thank fuck the brakes held out. The reverse gear could either roll the rig back at 10 inches per hour, or 10mph, and not much in-between.
Was nice being able to sip a coffee through traffic tho

Lol they’re never getting cheaper. We’ve departed from regulated capitalism. We’re now in a pseudo-fudal model. You think for an instant the bourgeoisie have any interest in providing food? Only profit and power.
