Remember when is the lowest form of conversion!

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 mean we put a fox news anchor in charge, and if he’s even half as dumb as he looks, well that’s pretty fucking dumb. I doubt he understands, or if he does, doesn’t care. Just shameful. But hey, at least the libs are getting owned.

We’ve entered into a new political system. Hard to say exactly what it is now, but I suspect we’ve had our last free and proper election.

Or maybe he thought that was the wisest thing to tell a group of 18-20somthings. Not a demographic known for cool deliberation or self preservation. There’s a reason the draft starts at 18 but you can’t rent a car til you’re 25.

If you were to go to the co-op, buy only bulk, put it in jars straight off… But even getting tooth paste or shampoo. It’s tough.

This. Not to mention china spilled a river of blood to keep n Korea Communist. Really the most realistic, best thing for the people of n Korea would be for China to topple the kim regime and set up a new government. Even Xi’s bullshit would be preferable to whatever cult theocratic bs they’ve got going now.

With poor grammar, lots OF ALL CAPS SO WE KNOW YOUR SUPER CEREAL. Just ramble on in a moronic stream OF CONSCIOUSNESS. All on a 2am twitter post.

N Korea will be around as long as it suits China.

Octopi?

I wonder if we framed it in bible talk we might get through to them? Like they’re for sure guilty of gluttony and greed. I’m pretty sure there’s something about God giving the world into the care of man too.

I’m a slat and vinegar man myself.

Welcome to the party!! Have a kitty pic!

This. How many of your childhood friends survived to adulthood? How many famines have you lived through? Have you ever received modern medicine? Do you know anyone who’s shit themselves to death (a surprisingly common cause of death back when)? Are you literate?

I’ll not try and tell anyone things are peachy, because they’re clearly not. But a lot of things are so so so much better than they used to be. Most of us lead lives that would make Pharos of old green with envy.

Take an inventory of plastic shit in your life. It’s a lot. I don’t think I could cut it out completely. I’m having a hard time imagining zero plastic grocery shopping. It’s possible to be sure, but fucking everything comes in plastic.

That seems high. I’d buy 2-5%

Sorta.

Thiccc yogurt club!

Also something something your mama likes thick yogurt. There’s a good one there somewhere…

Honestly I’m on board with the no phones TVs or kids in pubs. My favorite bars all have zero TVs.

Promoted to your level of incompetence.
