People seem to forget about their brother Seth, which the bible specifically mentions how long he lived and that he had tons of kids, and his through his lineage you end up with Noah. And it's been awhile since I studied this, but I think Adam & Eve are mentioned to have had other kids too, which aren't named in scripture.

Also of note is how when Abel is cast out, it's mentioned that he came across many other people. Since these people are supposed to have lived for hundreds of years, that's a lot of time for a lot of kids and their kids and their kids kids to be born.

How the fuck where there supposedly other people alive at the time when God is specifically noted to have only created Adam and Eve.
 
Not sure if this is the thread for it, but I came across an article about Leslie Wexner claiming he was possessed by a demon from Jewish folklore. For more explanation re. his connection to Epstein, Epstein was a college dropout who somehow got hired as a high school teacher, when, despite Epstein having zero financial background, Wexner gave him a few million dollars of his own money to give him his start as a wealth manager.

I don't read the creation story as 100% fact, so maybe I'm not the guy to ask. But it is pretty clear that with everyone living hundreds of years back then and having shit tons of kids, who then would go on to have shit tons of kids and on and on, it's pretty east to live long enough where you're talking thousands of people being born over the course of your life, many of which you wouldn't even meet or know. People in their 90's now have great grand kids, imagine how many great-great-great-great grandkids you might have if you lived to be 900? Like how many people do you think are in your family tree going back 900 years?

The Garden only lasted for 2/3 of a fortnight, not 900 years, retard.
 
I got bored today and discovered that it's apparently possible to install the Windows 10 version of Minecraft on an Xbox via dev mode. Doesn't sound very interesting but the W10 edition lets you use custom resource packs and skins, thought it was kinda neat. Only issue is that Microsoft hasn't updated the Series consoles' dev mode so I can only use 5GB of RAM as opposed to the 8GB typically available on the Series S for games.
 
Today I got curious. Black people used to talk like foghorn leghorn. But at some point they all decided to sound like ice cube. What happened?

Well turns out niggers weren’t in the north until this thing called “the great migration” their natural lazy accent went from slurring the southern louisiana accent, to slurring a Chicago accent. Black people do this wherever they are. Haitians sound like French but retarded. Very strange.
 
I remembered as a kid playing with ants with chalk on the sidewalk. They wouldn’t cross the chalk. So I drew lines all around our house to prevent ants from getting in. I was like 6 when I did this and felt very smart. Those stupid ants thought it was a wall or something. Well today I asked. Why? Turns out. No. Ants are being smart, they recognize the substance as something That will get stuck to their feet, rendering their pheromone trail inert.

Ants are easily the most interesting insect. Here are some more facts I learned about ants!

fire ants are an invasive species and they’re invasive because unlike the North American black ant, they don’t infight. Black ants from one colony will war with one another. fire ants on the other hand form what’s called a super colony. However, in the late 90s to early 00s no one is sure why or exactly when or even for what reason, the super colony fractured. Now west coast fire ants will war with east coast fire ants!

Army ants are a completely nomadic. They walk in a straight line and when they come across other ant mounds they conquer it. This has led other ant types to develop specialty units. Specifically for defending against army ants. Such as a faction that have large cube shaped heads, used to plug up entrances! Because ants typically kill any ants in the hive that are different this development contradicts Darwin’s theory of evolution! The only other ant that army ants won’t attack are other army ants, people assume because of mutually assured destruction.

In the middle of the rainforest the most diverse biome in the planet there exists a subbiome called “devils Forrest’s” large areas where there are no animals and only one plant. This plant has developed a symbiotic relationship with ants. The plant houses the ants, and The ants kill any competing plants and attack animals that try to eat it!

Ants can protect the queen by locking around it in a ball, even if you push the queen underwater! They use themselves like a perfect net! It’s INSANE you’ve heard how octopi each of their tentacles is like its own brain right? Well ants are essentially a remote brain in every sense. their consciousness small as it may be, is one with the queen. Fucking how!?!

A DYBBUK?
When I read that before clicking I thought it would be something cool like he'd summoned something from the Lesser Key of Solomon.

I always knew Bluetooth was named after Harald Bluetooth a Danish king, but I never knew why. The reason why was because he was so effective at ruling lands that were very far separated from eachother by the North Sea. The technology does the same in that connects many different far away things.

I also learned in very rare instances words can come to mean the opposite of what they were intended. There’s the common “reclaiming” of the word such as the obvious “gay” meaning happy to meaning faggot. There are others that have transitioned slowly. What made me think of this is the word “bully” and how Teddy Roosevelt used it.

Bully originated from the Dutch word “boel” meaning “lover” or “sweetheart” Slowly the word “bully” went from “cool dude” to “manly dude” to “rebellious dude” to “mean dude” the interesting thing is teddy tried to save the word. By the time he was using it it already meant rebellious

Etymology is awesome

i've always found it really fucking funny that the phrase "woke" started off as a self descriptor for skeptics who thought 9/11 was an inside job and turned into a word that describes people who toe the party line
