It’s tradition to hit dead popes in the head with a golden hammer to make sure they’re dead. Gotta double-tap those bitches so they don’t come back.

One study looked at American yearbooks from 1905 to 2005 and found that as time went on, more people smiled in pictures, with women first in line, followed by men.
The Smiling Victorian Flickr group collects these first smiles on photographs :)

"Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable?
An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia."
- Awesome.Gnash
- Yeah brilliant_niko
- I'm sure I remember reading about 'self-healing' concrete a wee while back, so good to see our accomplishments worked out two millennia ago.Nairn
- To this day, Italy is a country founded on Concrete. It's part of the general aesthetic - so much cast and left unadorned, other than the stains of nature.Nairn
- tldr: quicklime and hot mixing of the concrete allowed the concrete to 'heal' cracks-- water running through them fills them with calcite.sarahfailin

Cleopatra, Mark Antony and Julius Ceasar were closer in time to people using iPhones to leave comments on QBN, than they were to the time of when the Pyramids were being built. By a duration of 500 years.

Are you an Idealist or a Materialist?
Idealists
Some idealists (subjective idealists) hold the view that there isn't one particular way things are, but rather that each person's personal reality is unique. Such idealists have the world view which says that we each create our own reality, and while most people may be in general agreement (consensus) about what reality is like, they might live in a different (or nonconsensus) reality.Materialists
Materialists may not accept the idea of there being different possible realities for different people, rather than different beliefs about one reality. So for them only the first usage of the term reality would make sense. To them, someone believing otherwise, where the facts have been properly established, might be considered delusional- https://i.imgur.com/…Gnash
- Onanist checking in.Nairn
- Robert anton wilson refers to these realities as “reality tunnels”. They’re formed by our experiences and we rarely “see” outside our own tunnelsscarabin
- For me it’s a mix of both. I’m aware of my tunnel and try to break out as often as possible for kicksscarabin
- A blind man feels an elephant’s tail and in his world it’s a snakescarabin
- Feel as much of it as you can and focus less on what others are “seeing”scarabin
- Interesting. I'll spend this weekend reading R. A Winston.Beeswax
- Robert Anton Wilson is great...check out the Illuminatus trilogyyuekit
- The first view is interesting but does anyone actually believe that? I would say more like people have a different experience of reality, which isn'tyuekit
- actually different but you perceive things differently.yuekit
