Yeah for most of human history being fat was seen as a sign of wealth and was considered attractive. It’s only recently that we started seeing skinniness as attractive.

Well, the Egyptians had the same art style pretty much unchanged for thousands of years. Archaeologists believe that their proportions were based on mathematics, and was probably taught as the only way to make art.
Many cultures have prioritized stylized art over realism. - Comment on The Perfect Bear 2 weeks ago:
Is this the cave where they built a full scale replica for visitors right next to the actual cave because the real cave is too sensitive to light?

I vape and I think these disposable vapes are an obscene waste that should not exist. Just get a decent mod, it’s cheaper in the long run anyway

I finally know what inspired that weird Futurama episode!
- Comment on Honey 2 months ago:
Maybe it’s similar to how tree sap tastes different after you’ve boiled it down to syrup?
Maple sap has a pleasant, very mildly sweet flavor whereas maple syrup is the greatest thing on earth. - Comment on Sign of the times? 3 months ago:

Billionaires should not exist at all. I saw a post saying that once you earn $999.999.999 dollars you get a trophy saying “I won capitalism” and everything else you earn goes to taxes. We should absolutely do that

English is only the lingua franca for now, but that, as well as the English language, will inevitably change.

Well, what other language should be used? Latin is the language of science because there’s no way we’d ever agree on which alive language to use.
- Comment on Sony will cut around 250 jobs from the recordable media business manufacturing hub and will gradually cease production of optical discs, including Blu-ray discs. 4 months ago:
If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore

Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.

My home country (Iceland) has the highest gun ownership in Europe. It’s not much compared to the US, but it’s interesting that we have almost no gun violence. The reason is that we have very strict gun control with thorough background checks, mandatory training and psych evaluations. In addition to that, we have a functioning healthcare system and low income inequality. All these things need to be adressed before the US sees a decrease in gun violence.
- Comment on It’s not impossible for someone to have heard about assguard, looked it up, and then realized it’s “Asgard”. 6 months ago:
That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce “bi-frost” instead og 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).
- Comment on Geography is neat 6 months ago:
It never made any sense to me that ass is a swear word. It means either a body part or a donkey, neither of which are particularly offensive unless the donkey is performing conservative stand-up comedy.

- Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. 8 months ago:
Not in Norway lol. If you want to meet up at 11:20 you say “ti på halv tolv” meaning "ten minutes before half hour before twelve.
Yeah, it took me a while to wrap my head around it too. - Comment on Real! 8 months ago:
