…but only one person gets to talk about ea nasir’s yelp ratings.
They can be cool, inspiring events, or funny/dumb ones idc. I’m just looking for stories that make you go “I could see that happening in Jersey” or “My cousin caught a charge for that just last week!”
Two examples:
- They found a skeleton that dates before writing was invented (like way before). The skeleton had a broken bone that heeled. Which means that someone was taking care of them. So before writing was invented human have already established a society that allowed for supporting of the weak.
- There are poop and fart jokes in Greek plays.
You need an escape backslant (\) before the number 2 for it not to show as a 1
Whining about zoomers is inline with tradition. Humans have been complaining about younger generations for thousands of years.

I love how many dicks have been drawn in historical artifacts by the people who built them. I remember reading about an engraving at the very top of an old column which the building was too unstable to get close enough to see for a long time. I think when they got up there and translated it it said something like “this is very high”. It’s nice to know people have always been people.
There was a lot of it in Herculaneum and Pompeii.
I also feel this way about all of the historical remnants of how much ancient people loved their pets. There are still ancient roadside shrines throughout Europe to memorialize ancient people’s pets. <3
I love in Pompeii you can follow the dicks on the cobbles to the brothel, brilliant advertising.
I’m just waiting for the first dick cave painting to be found. Then I’ll know we’ve always been this way and I’ll be able to die happy
Here you go
D-did they use these…?
I’m starting to think that the saying “anything is a dildo if you’re brave enough…” predates 2008 by quite a bit…
There were anti maskers during the 1918 Influenza pandemic.
In 1945, Oppenheimer pioneered the quest for the creation of the atomic bombs. His defense was it’s “the weapon to end all wars” supposedly by the fear inspired by its sheer power. Looking back, you can find such eerily similar moments where this defense is littered throughout the course of human history in response to several different things. So even if unintentional, it’s definitely BS.
“The Death Star will end war forever.”
thirty years later
“We have made Starkiller Base, surely we got it right this time!”
In the EU they didn’t even wait 30 years to make The Sun Crusher
Gatling gun comes to mind
War, we have always been good at killing, no signs that we will stop anytime soon.
In 1976, Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother died. A flight from Israel to Paris had been hijacked by some Palestinian and German terrorists, and flown to Uganda, where they demanded release of prisoners, threatening to kill the Israeli and Jewish passengers (the rest were released). Israel decided to launch a mission on foreign soil to rescue them, and I think Bibi’s older brother was the sole Israeli casualty.
What we are seeing today in Gaza is most likely, mostly, as a direct result of that death. Raw caveman emotion. (with a few decades of carefully layered public relations)

Humanity has fundamentally changed in the last 10k years.

Every time footage of a cop lynching a Black person makes it to the 24/7 news cycle as compared to the Philadelphia MOVE bombing as compared to the burning of Greenwood as compared to the intentional downing of Field Order 15 and Reconstruction as a whole as compared to the practice of the Triangle trade/American implementation of chattel slavery.
War … any kind of war for any reason.
The idea that the only way to for us to settle disputes or disagreements with others is to organize ourselves into competing camps, make fancy plans and use all our technical knowledge and technology to kill one another.
Our ancient prehistorical ancestors had the same logic thousands of years ago and used sticks, spears, rocks and their bare hands.
Today, we use drones, machine guns, army tanks, naval ships and nuclear weapons.
The technology has changed … but our mentality is still the same.
i don’t think we have any historically recorded events from 10k years ago. heck, ea-nasir only goes back less than 4k.
I’m still waiting for my copper replacement!
