Would it also be right to think that gold gave living rulers the appearance of godly proximity? As in, those in charge need to keep impressing their people in order to stay on top, so gold on weapons or in palaces would be a means of looking impressive, especially as it shines in sun or firelight

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast

Looks like I got 400 designs to browse

I reckon past the popular sci-fi era, which has so many analogues. Show a smartphone to someone in the 70s and they’ve seen The Jetsons, they can conceptualise screen communicators. Like if someone today took you through a teleporter, you’d get the idea even though you wouldn’t get the tech.

We count the visitors each financial year then divvy it up in Splitwise

Fuck me, imagine having a political worldview summed up by “furious that poor kids got to visit the zoo”

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

In 24 hours on the road I have seen drivers say thanks out the window for a merge by throwing a) a peace sign and b) a shaka. Dudes are so back

Snowballs are a gateway projectile

All of these fruit assessments are correct, thank you. Please consider assembling a syllabus
