  • Something else that affects our teeth (though I’m not sure if it affects growth) is sugar consumption. Our ancestors had very little access to sugar or even spices. They ate things like meat and veggies plain. Back in prehistoric times, this meant they wouldn’t have to brush their teeth, since the bacteria in their mouths wouldn’t have produced plaque.

    That’s why a lot of human remains of 80-year-olds from 20,000 BC have perfect teeth or only a few missing after those teeth got knocked out by getting hit in the face. If you’re ever stranded on a deserted island, you should avoid eating all those coconuts and bananas with every meal.

    There’s some guy on YouTube who was showing how to lift boulders and logs by himself using only simple levers and inclines. It’s been a while since I watched it, but if I remember right he moves a rock the size of a car 100 yards and lifts it a few feet into the air.

    He does this with tree branches, rope, and scrap wood lol





  • I think I’d rather be launched into the sun over Jupiter. The sun you die pretty quickly as you get closer to it. I can’t imagine there’s much that could stop heat once you get past Mercury. Jupiter though? Jupiter is fucking spooky. Its core is hot like any molten core, but there’s no crust. You’d fall through the sky and just keep falling for hundreds of miles. You’d eventually die from the heat like you would with the sun, but you wouldn’t be able to see anything. At some point all you can see is goop. It’s like being underwater in the Mariana Trench, but the water is nitrogen, metallic hydrogen, and liquid silicone.







  • In addition to what other people posted, WWI was a source of the “1 rifle, 2 men” myth. Because WWI was fucking awful. Multiple countries had logistical problems. Sometimes your daily rations would be a bullet and a slice of bread. This was especially true for Russia, who managed to lose despite being on the winning side of the war.

    One of the catalysts for the Russian Revolution were the conditions of WWI. It was the second major war the Romanovs dragged their country into where they weren’t prepared and were defeated within living memory (the Crimean War being the other).

    There were often supply shortages during that time, but western filmmakers are derpshits and got it confused with things in WWII because it was convenient post-war as Cold War propaganda. This was made worse by Germans being the only sources of information regarding the Eastern front prior to the collapse of the USSR and opening of the soviet archives to Western historians. Nazis being nazis came up with all kinds of excuses as to why they lost while insisting their enemies were weaklings.
