God I want you
I still fantasize about you
My body aches for you
I hate it
Because I know I can’t have you
But I can’t help it
You haven’t left my heart
So I still long for your touch
Our intimacy
Our trust
It meant everything to me
I know you didn’t care for all the physical
But
Did it mean something to you too?
I still wonder
Even now
If you miss it too
Smol gang here to tell u that everything will be okay!
The discovery that men don’t find Margot Robbie attractive in Birds of Prey really just drives home the fact that I have no idea what straight men find attractive, and neither do I care
So how do they make that?
This just raises more questions for me 🤦🏾♂️
what the FUCK
this is whats called a ‘coffer dam’, you basically build some walls, drop them in the water, tie them together, and then pump out the water from your new hole in the water so you can build while staying dry its oddly not that hard- the flippin ROMANS were able to do it with logs and mud
occasionally particularly devious people would use this to hide treasure or tombs underneath the river so its not only impossible to find but impossible to get to without an engineer division
that last part gives me ideas for campaigns
“Not that hard - the ROMANS were able to do it” - people seriously underestimate how advanced some ancient cultures were and the organized effort it takes to come up with something like this and actually implement it. The Romans had heated floors, glass windows and ceilings that could be rotated to reflect what you were eating (forests for game, sea landscapes for fish). Hell, the Greeks built cameras and moving robots. The Minoans, who lived four thousands years ago and were wiped out by a tsunami three times as powerful as the one which devasted Japan in 2011, had running water and modern toilets. And let’s not get into how China basically invented everything centuries before anyone else.
Bottom line: just because someone was already doing it thousands of years ago, doesn’t mean it’s not very difficult and an extraordinary feat of engineering.
someone: you build how many bridges on a single military campaign…?
Caesar: what, like it’s hard?
The Indus valley civilisations (one of the cradles of civilisation) had a covered sewer system. The first urban sanitation system might have been Harappa around 4 500 years ago. It included baths. The people in Lothal had a toilet in every house around 4370 years ago. They also had normed brick sizes to make building easier.
While we’re on industrial norms: Mesopotamia (another cradle of civilisation) had mass-produced bowls. They were traded with other city-states (read: internationally). They also had a writing system, schools (at least for the upper class), and exercise slates. The Sumerians and Akkadians in Mesopotamia formed a sprachbund that meant many people were bilingual in the 3rd millennium BC.
While we’re on the topic of literacy in ancient civilisations: Signboards were a thing. Enough people were literate to have signboards and inscriptions on houses. The oldest known inscription is on a lintel in Dholavira, Indus valley from 5000ish years ago (We have no idea what it says though.).
That’s just my five cents to people have always been people, and people have always been awesome. Sorry for the rant (but do tell me if you want to hear more about awesome in the other cradles of civilisation; or the proto-communism debate; or the “mother-goddess” debacle; or egalitarian values in ancient cultures (I might have to re-read Plato to go into full detail on that one and include the Greeks).
Please never apologize for adding cool info to posts! And feel free to add more :)
The real reason we’re scared of the technological capabilities of ancient civilizations is because they were just as good as us, and now they’re gone

That made me laugh.
This is legit the best thing I’ve read all day.
Please read it, please
I will never not reblog this story
This is earth shattering, I can’t believe there are people, who don’t think in sentences??? What the fuck is an abstract non-verbal thot? Y’all hoes think in Pictionary???? What the fuck
You’re telling me there are people who actually think in sentences? Like full ass grammatical sentences?
Some of yall dont think in full sentences?
my nonverbal ass is shook bc apparently (according to the replies) people who think in sentences also read in mental sentences... like when ur reading it’s as if there is a voice inside their heads reading it as if out loud. w i l d
My inner thoughts are just like talking to someone? Like? Y’all don’t even think in words? How do you READ?!?
I frequently look up words, backtrack for grammar, or ask for clarification on things, SPECIFICALLY for the sake of my internal monologue (which I physically can’t write out because it moves about triple the speed of my typing, writing, or talking, but if I did it would basically read as a first person novel with a plot and two subplots)
I also check facts for the sake of my monologue.
on purpose!!! love people on purpose!!! find someone wonderful and love them and tell them it wasn’t an accident, you had a choice, you saw who they were and realized how lovely it would be to love them, and it is!!! i made a good decision! i love you on purpose!!!
