That it IS possible to safely fuck in the shower.

You’re not going to explain how? I mean I’ve done it…just we risked it.

Anyway recently I found out yamasa (the Japanese soy sauce company) has a side gig of buying up American homes and renting them back to citizens because it’s a game that you can’t loose at if you have enough capital

Fuck me, that's actually a terrifying prospect if you fuck it up.

And as for shower giggity, I suppose it's individual: I've found it's all in the toes.

 

[okay word]

I learned that it's very hard for bacteria to live on wood which is why it's good as a cutting board

Today I learned that in the 1500s people believed a common weapon of fairy folk were invisible darts that caused paralysis. So if someone randomly got paralysis it was because a fae creature like an elf stroke them down. The term “elf stroke” continued and is the origin of the medical term still used today!

Ok found out an amazing fact. I was wondering why Texas had laws about camels. This is because the US Army in the 1800s started a Camel Corps because they thought the drought resistance of the animal would make them great for traveling in Texas. Despite it working well it was abandoned when the Civil War broke out. Leaving packs of wild Camels to wander west Texas that continued to be seen randomly up until the 1940s! In Arizona territory in the 1880s there was a crypted myth formed by local ranchers "The legend of the Red Ghost" A deformed horse with a blood red coat and mounted by a skeleton and would terrorize people. These reports continued for a DECADE until the "ghost" was shot dead and it turned out to be wandering camel that went feral because their rider had died and was still strapped to the stirrups of the leather saddle.

On my commute to work I listened to Lord of Spirits podcast, and I learned that the debate about if Plato meant Atlantis as pure allegory or if that is something he intended as real history isnt just a modern one. Aristotle and a student of a student of Plato had opposing opinions on this exact topic. So even the ancient Greeks read that and went "huh?"

Yeah I looked this up too recently. Plato mentioned it once and NO ONE ELSE even remotely talks of Atlantis. No one is searching for Plato’s cave! Theres plenty more mythical ancient cities that have more than one reference. Ticks me off that Atlantis is the huge mythical one everyone daydreams about.

Well, other people do in fact talk about Atlantis. Its just that everyone else that does is referencing Plato
Also actually, from the same episode. The Epic of Gilgamesh I believe has a similar flood story to Noahs one in the Bible. An ancient Greek scribe (older than Plato) translating it to Greek notes that the arc in this flood story STILL EXISTS at the time of writing it and you could go to Armenia and see it. He says that the tar used to hold it together could be scraped off and used for spells lol

There's a bit in Timaeus where the Egyptians tell Solon that Athens is young to them, and Egypt is young to Atlantis. In that same section, though, they also mention "Deukalion and Pyrrha after the flood". Both of those people are part of wider, more common myths and legends beyond Plato.
