Before the coal mining was popular, people used wood, but the wood prices were going so much up, that people started mining coal. The invention of steam engine made industrial revolution possible, and it used coal, suddenly coal is needed for a lot of things, and then why not use oil for many things too…

Turns out we dont have enough of everything eventually. Only too much people wanting too much things. We need them, we will do everything to get them, because we made them usefull.
The same will happen with many other things from our planet if we will make them usefull, but they dont replenish fast enough.

We will crash that machine that was made go faster and faster, because there are no brakes on our energy hungry civilization. How would they look anyway? :thinking:
Apes fight each other for teritory with fruits, we still are technically apes. But maybe we should use brains for some other things, realizing we can.

I mean, who will think about it if not we?

Washing clothes, 1890s style (from an old scrapbook, a grandmother wrote this down for her newly wed grandaughter; spelling errors from original):

'WARSHING CLOTHES

Build fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water. Set tubs so smoke wont blow in eyes if wind is pert.

Shave one hole cake of lie soap in boiling water.

Sort things, make 3 piles

1 pile white,

1 pile colored,

1 pile work britches and rags.

To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth, then thin down with boiling water.

Take white things, rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard and boil, then rub colored don’t boil just wrench and starch.

Take things out of kettle with broom stick handle, then wrench, and starch.

Hang old rags on fence.

Spread tea towels on grass.

Pore wrench water in flower bed. Scrub porch with hot soapy water.

Turn tubs upside down.

Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs. Brew cup of tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings.’

Time to go to sleep… nighties lovelies!

Also: this is how you develop seriously a new concept…

…even if it’s a bit on the side of “who asked this?” Even after 9 prototypes, my guess is that they’ll keep running into at least two issues: a), places with lots of stairs, even single steps and b) extra weight on the feet and not-exactly-natural feet movement. Guess they grow heavy on the ankles after a while…

Time to go to sleep… nighties lovelies!

Also: whiskey tango foxtrot?

I won’t even comment on the unfeasibility of the whole project. I will just ask: who and why even thought that I could be interested with this? I mean, i find the whole concept of an afterlife nightmarish: “congratulations, you escaped from Prison Life, now be welcome to Prison Eternal”, and anyway all the proposals so far are either impossible or less-than-thrustowrthy investments.

Many “future” ideas are born from a past which already evolved into a future nobody foresaw back then. And by being born, our present “future of the past” usually invalidated whatever “future vision” the past had. Asphalt roads sent to the trashbin the need for flying cars which could avoid dirt roads, with jet engine just murdering the whole concept of a need for a “fast” personal transportation.

I guess the future will be plenty of things more useful than “resurrecting” frozen meat or building “digital companions” based on some distant ancestor (why bother with that idiot grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-whatever rather than have a far better “companion” based on your granma, who you met in her life and miss?)

Timezone… :heart:

I remember when there used to be kinda(sometimes downright) adult stuff on DailyMotion. It was before YouTube and the internet was a very wild place. They were mostly for humor purposes. For example Ameriquest’s airplane commercial with the slogan “Don’t judge too quickly.” Today you can’t air ads like that…

When did we become too easily triggered by seeing the act of love, but not by violence and bloodshed? :thinking:

…maybe it’s because violence and bloodshed can be used to punish people on infractions of the love moral, whereas the love act would make a weird punishment for bloodshed and violence… :thinking:

Anyway I’m of to bed. Nighties lovelies!

Also: the future isn’t what it used to be…

…The. Camera. OMG the camera… :sweat_smile:
