Nice. It irks me when the mongols are celebrated for their brilliance. Sure, they were incredibly coordinated and tactically proficient. But what allowed that, was that they had like 3 horses per man. In other words: They were filthy fucking rich in medieval terms. And there were lots of them.

“I’d just like to interject for a moment…”

A club popular with 18-year olds in my city had the most effective piss-room I’ve ever seen. Troughs on three full walls and they were always busy. You’d wait for 1 second and then get a spot where you could squeeze in, shoulder to shoulder with other guys. You’d feel the steam rising up and washing past your face. 10 seconds later, you stepped out and another guy would instantly take your place.

It was incredible. I’ve never seen such efficiency anywhere else.

That is one awesome sofa. Shame it’s the price of my net worth

A very wintery meme, this

They are useful for dummies like me though! When I let my phone run out of battery while installing an update, I thought it was the end for it. But it turned out that it had just bricked itself by desperately using every single ounce of juice, so it could no longer tell the charger that it wanted to charge.

Solved by buying a dumber charger!

now journalism, sociology, economics and civics, on the other hand…

No, but we probably sounded something like that way before there were neanderthals and modern humans though. At some point, somebody figured out how to tell their peers that they’re going to have to hunt for something big

They did speak weird though! Analysis of their airways suggest that they had a much higher-pitched voice than our kind, and probably had a harder time with consonants. So their language would have certainly been different. Although we have no way of knowing if parts of their language still lives on in our speech today.

Men visst, “talare” blir lite roligt på svenska

Right, so I seem to have gotten it wrong on his name. It was Neander (New Man in greek) rather than Neumann (New Man in german), but I should also have specified in the meme that the name means New Man.

That one takes the cake! How does that happen? Is there welsh, saxon and latin in there or something?

Hehe. Never heard of that one. I want to know how aware these people are when they name things. In sports, a bit of humor is probably common, but with the neanderthals, I just don’t see the high-strung scientists of the late 1800’s intentionally making a joke on this kind of thing. I do however see them doubling down on a decision even if it’s pointed out that it’s stupid.

I don’t want to brag, but I learned this from a book

Yet I’m the one who’s removed for disagreeing with the mandatory opinions

A “red wine guy”. Ugh.

Wasn’t she their rep in the UN Security Council?

I usually think about opening the next one before I’ve even finished
