My family makes its living off coiled pottery and this is eating into our livelihoods! Such a disaster! Someone needs to stop this!
It's all a plot by Big Wheel to sell more wheels.
Probably trying to compete with the door makers
What do you need a door for? Just drag a stone slab to cover the entrance!
"Big Wheel" snort is that what Wham'o and Ma'tel are calling themselves now?
You think that's wild, I saw amphora on the market with a completely flat bottom, just, liek, on a shelf. Da fuq?
pics or it didn't happen
Didn't I say using wheels would lead to this? Didn't I say?!
Oh, don't be such a Hephaestus hater. Prometheus didn't get imprisoned on a rock so that we let that fire burn out. Who knows what gets invented next. Maybe even a way to put all those stupid papyrus rolls into a neat shape that I can store in my house.
Call me crazy, but I’m thinking rectangles
Oh for fuck's sake... first it was wheels on carts, now it's wheels making pots.
JUST PUT WHEELS ON EVERYTHING ALREADY IF THAT'S THE PLAN!
smh...
The same as all those other recent technological advances: they were given to us by our alien overlords.
Do you mean the gods? Obviously they give us everything.
and they must be crazy
What is this "cocacola"?
No, it's a musical instrument to praise the flying gods
Well those alien overlords stick those advances up their asses!
All servants born after 200BC do is break they amphora, throw clump of clay, and get pot. Ridiculous.
Welcome to the stone age... or the bronze age... or the iron age... heck, anything with an 'age' is welcome, except our modern age or any ages to come.
This is about what the internet was like thousands of years ago back when it all started. Like when Darius the Great hired mercenaries via Craigslist or when Egypt invented emojis.
CODE OF LAWS
1 - Be civil. No name calling, no fighting, keep your flint hand axes inside your leather pouches at all times.
2 - Keep the AI stuff to a minimum. It gets annoying and old fashioned memes are more fun for everyone.
3 - None of this newfangled modern 21st century nonsense. We don't even know what "21st century" means.
4 - No porn/explicit content. The king is sensitive about these things.
5 - No lemmy.world TOS violations will be tolerated. So there.
6 - There is no ~~rule~~ law 6.
Laws of justice which Hammurabi, the wise king, established. A righteous law, and pious statute did he teach the land. Hammurabi, the protecting king am I. I have not withdrawn myself from the men, whom Bel gave to me, the rule over whom Marduk gave to me, I was not negligent, but I made them a peaceful abiding-place. I expounded all great difficulties, I made the light shine upon them. With the mighty weapons which Zamama and Ishtar entrusted to me, with the keen vision with which Ea endowed me, with the wisdom that Marduk gave me, I have uprooted the enemy above and below (in north and south), subdued the earth, brought prosperity to the land, guaranteed security to the inhabitants in their homes; a disturber was not permitted. The great gods have called me, I am the salvation-bearing shepherd, whose staff is straight, the good shadow that is spread over my city; on my breast I cherish the inhabitants of the land of Sumer and Akkad; in my shelter I have let them repose in peace; in my deep wisdom have I enclosed them. That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.
