I just saw a video of the hundredth woman in space. Honestly just felt so bizzare that there's humans that have just .... left the planet. Thats insane.

walking. take a moment to think about it.

I noted elsewhere that walking is our superpower. Back in the day humans would find a herd of grazers in the morning and throw rocks at them. Then the humans would pick one unlucky beast and follow it all day until ti was exhausted and then we'd kill it.

It is both amazing and horrifying to look at food production worldwide. We have both completely and utterly destroyed food shortage and hunger from a total food perspective, and made a world with the most hunger in human history.

I love this show. A historian looks at how one change can spread out and affect many different things.

Urinating. Christ, there's no greater feeling of having a pee when you need to.

I know a lot of you are thinking about orgasm, but the thing is that's more of a luxury than an urgent need. You can live your life without, and not really feel you need to.

Also, water. How fucking great and refreshing is a glass of water.
