@lanodan pretty much up to you, it's a thought experiment

Some of y'all have really been collecting microplastics is all I can say

@wordsmith I hadn't done any in a while!! I'm glad one came to me today

If you could extract all of your body's microplastics right now, what would you make with it?

Happy Caturday! He’s mad I won’t let him make faces at Shadow

Lmao they’re not even saying his name anymore, no photo of him either. Article didn’t name him until the second paragraph

Maybe uh. Maybe there was a better way to say this

@MmeLibertine I just love that there was absolutely no reason to make them cute and people did it anyway. Big serious merchants who did this for a living bought little ducks and frogs and other animals

Did several big tasks so it's frog weights time as a reward! The Bronze Age Mesopotamians created a standard weight system for trade going from really small weights to larger ones. This weight standard lasted for at least 3000 years across huge chunks of the globe. Standard ones looked like this:

However people made really cute ones too! Frogs seem to be a pretty popular shape

Here are some Egyptian ones

There are a lot of ducks, too! They're super cute and you can see a lot more of the gradation of sizes here

This kind of weight is absolutely how Nanni busted Ea-Nasir's shipment of bad copper for the Ea-Nasir fans out there, fun to think that whoever weighed them was using cute little frogs or duckies

Kind of cool writeup here, apparently the weights increase in a modified Fibonacci sequence which is pretty cool

According to FedEx my driver Antonio has been on the way to deliver my package since 12/30, spare a thought for Antonio who must have fallen into a pocket dimension and has been bravely forging ahead trying to return home safely

I hold at your neck the gom jabbar

I think the goat being consumed by a great conflagration would fix me for real

Leaving out some scraps and leftovers for the drones so they don't get hungry

Whoa has anyone thought about trying this before

@infernusgoatus pretty sure it's something they've been saying about most studied ancient cultures and there's drug use evidence dating back to the stone age so I'm not sure what's going on here, article was behind a paywall so I don't know how much the title might be sensationalizing or getting wrong .
