  • I’m pretty much the same, but for the games of chance; As long as the prize isn’t monetary, I tend to do really good. Coin flip because two people asked the day off and only one can take it? Sorry for the other guy.

    Another thing that I’m really good at is pushing a button. If for some reason something doesn’t work after pushing a button (either computers or machinery), just complain to me it isn’t working. I’ll ask if I can try, and somehow it always works. Actually a very usefull skill when I worked as an operator in various chemical plants. Coworkers had mixed feelings about it tough.















  • There was also William the third of Orange, who first lived in the Netherlands where he had no wife but a lot of really close friends who would visit him frequent behind closed doors. He eventually married his cousin Mary Stuart and became the king of England and Scotland in 1689.

    @Archangel1313@lemmy.ca Look into Islamic scolars, a lot of scientific discoveries done in Europe after the middle ages were made hundreds of years earlier by them. Then I guess their dark ages started, making a lot of knowledge “lost”. On te other hand, you should keep in mind two things, the first is that knowledge is incremental, everything we know is built on previous knowledge. The other is that while humans were around a long time, they were not in the big numbers of today. As a consequence they didn’t need farming, they could always travel further to new lands for finding food and shelter.
