I posted mine recently. In dull men’s club. I must say I planned more about that post than is care to admit

Great win to step down to and enjoy retirement…

The middle ages being incredibly gross is a misunderstanding that goes back to the nineteenth century. In that era cities were overcrowded and very filthy and they concluded that in the ‘dark ages’ this would have been much worse.

It gets perpetuated by Hollywood always having someone have excrement out of a window or peeing in the street. Yet those were collected for fertilizer and as washing purposes (urine contains ammonia which is handy for degreasing wool).

Another common myth that keeps getting related is that people drank beer as the water was filthy. Water is the main ingredient in beer and people did know boiling water purified it.

Would it smell like roses? No not at all, nor does it in modern cities. There were stupid and filthy people, just like today, but usually people did make an effort of keeping clean.

But if you want really filthy cities, you have to go to the nineteenth century, where human waste was combined with a lovely dose of unbridled industrial pollution.

Bobby Peru don’t come up for air!

Tbh many brushes and loofahs are plastic and erode into microplastic too.

There person that reacted earlier got it right

Indeed:

A “lasagna cell” is accidentally produced when salty moist food such as lasagna or sauerkraut is stored in a steel baking pan and is covered with aluminium foil. After a few hours the foil develops small holes where it touches the lasagna, and the food surface becomes covered with small spots composed of corroded aluminium

Three years clean. The intervals between cravings get bigger. I don’t think the ever go away entirely.

The most hilarious part of Kant’s work to me is in his anthropology.

In a footnote he said that there’s two ways of studying it: in the first degree, by traveling and meeting people, and I’m the second degree by reading books by traveled people.

But Kant never traveled so he can study antropology in the first degree. So he adds a clause saying that if one lives in a busy port city (like Kant) one can study antropology in the first degree as all the people of the world travel to your city.

I find that level of pettiness from one of the greatest philosophers very endearing

What about Socrates?

Could they bust the one in the head of the health secretary of the us?

American car makers famously unsubsidized and holding up their own pants.

It’s also worth noting that Pertinax was the son of a freed slave. Also he is named in Machiavellis ‘The Prince’ as a leader who is hated for his good actions.

Glory to A rstotska merica

Reads like something YouTuber Nilered would make.

Fries and snacks slothered in mayonnaise and other sauces, like curry, ketchup and peanut sauce.

We have names for sauce combinations:

Fries and … : means fries and mayo, witch is so common it needs not saying the word.

Mayo, curry/ketchup and diced raw onion: fries special.

Mayo, peanut sauce and diced raw onion: war fries.

Fries with doner kebab, salad, garlic sauce +chilly sauce, topped with grilled cheese: fries barber parlor (because the guy that came up with it worked at a barber shop)

The French taco is incredibly silly, certainly if you consider that French supermarkets stopped selling the hard shell taco years ago as it’s not authentic (they do sell little pre formed tortilla bacs in a similar shape).

How were his banjo playing skills tho

I bet they have to concentrate really hard to come up with this final solution

Why did you keep it there in the first place?
