good stuff!

walking > standing > sitting > lying down

Walking digests food fastest (obviously because you are moving your body/burning calories), and lying down digests foods most slowly. Gravity is also working against you to an extent

thank you for this information @[email protected]

You kidding me? Not weird to have PTSD at all. Your conscious brain might have shrugged it off but your body remembers the whole “I could have died” feeling.

Not sure - you’d have to do some research on what that article is referencing. Search “Decree of Memphis” - that’s essentially what’s written on the Rosetta Stone.

For the history of those decrees you may want to look into “Ptolemaic decrees”

The stone was a part of a steele that was displayed in a temple.

The translated text is essentially an announcement or decree for a new Egyptian regime, and wasn’t necessarily written with the intent to preserve history.

The reason why it’s in three languages is because each of those languages served a different purpose.

“hieroglyphs (suitable for a priestly decree), Demotic (the cursive Egyptian script used for daily purposes, meaning ‘language of the people’), and Ancient Greek (the language of the administration – the rulers of Egypt at this point were Greco-Macedonian after Alexander the Great’s conquest.”

You can read more about it here or do your own research. https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-rosetta-stone

Wow. That last sentence was pretty chilling. I have to imagine that after adhering to such a demanding lifestyle your entire life the suffering becomes something you almost hold on to.

^ original article btw

to me having a funded arts curriculum is a sign of an fully developed/advanced education system. Of course you need the mandatory subjects for function like reading, math, science, etc. But to complete the full human experience you need subjects like history, music, art, philosophy, etc. You take those things away, it’s like removing a part of what makes being alive enjoyable, and also in parallel, the ability to express struggle in an an almost universal way. The education is no longer for thriving, but for surviving

wait they were so cute

no way lmfao

Yup, the youth and anyone educated. Why move if you or your partner can be prosecuted for a miscarriage that’s not even in your control.

Thank you for providing a bigger picture

Thanks, I guess part of being an adult is just being more and more indifferent to the gradual decline of the world so that the crippling dread does not consume you.

Explains why my parents are still asking for grandkids.

what does this reference

Business setting - always yes

Casual setting - only if I’m trying to be oddly formal for the sake of making her laugh

Otherwise I usually just introduce myself to her, make small talk, exchange socials if she’s cool. Nothing more than that.

Don’t inverter microwaves solve this problem?

thanks for putting the effort to find the original artist!

lmao is this copypasta
