Please, I implore thee...

Somebody posted a link to this enlightening thread. Now I will have to read every last friggin' stupid comment on there.
On the plus side, it will make from some interesting (if somewhat sad) post material. If I can bring myself to copy that dreck into my journal.

Maybe I wasn't clear....
Feb. 13th, 2005 12:27 pmI don't ever want to see that stupid lj friends collage ever again.
For most people, that thing is friggin' huge! And it takes up a ton of space, and I can't even just block the images because I'd be blocking my very own user picture.
If I *ever* meet the people who made that, I'll kill them for not including an obligatory lj-cut with the code for that damn thing. *screams*
Please, for the love of God, cut images.

And Disembowel-Myself-Honorably is accused of selling "thousand year old eggs" that are really only a hundred days old?
Now I get it! Things I never knew... or especially wanted to know. There's a recipe here, and some images on a poorly designed webpage here. Clicking on the pictures takes you to some information on them.

On a forum I was reading, somebody complained about how "how could their earliest records only be three thousand years old? it's not like they're working with papyrus and stone!"
Except... let's look at this. Let's assume that all their records were on computers (we know this isn't the case, but I'll get to that later). Are computers really a more durable and reliable way of keeping records than stone and paper are?
I don't think so. ( Read more... )
The reason people settled on in the thread is that the Colonial society has been in a period of decline, so they're losing a lot of their ability to read older information. I can buy this as well, but I like my explanation better, flawed though it no doubt is.
