What makes it even funnier is that the Roman and Han Empires were aware of each others existence, and the general attitude of China was said to be respect and interest in their far western peers and the Roman attitude was that they looked forward to conquering China some day.

It’s actually the right picture both times.
From Wikipedia (this is 2nd Century but it’s the same kind of bullshit)
“Later in 149 BC a large Roman army landed at Utica in North Africa. The Carthaginians hoped to appease the Romans, but despite the Carthaginians surrendering all of their weapons, the Romans pressed on to besiege the city of Carthage. The Roman campaign suffered repeated setbacks through 149 BC, only alleviated by Scipio Aemilianus, a middle-ranking officer, distinguishing himself several times. A new Roman commander took over in 148 BC and fared equally badly.”
The Romans got repeatedly ass blasted by a Carthaginian army that had surrendered all their weapons
Absolutely clownish villain behavior from Rome in the whole Third Punic War that only got reversed when Scipio took over.
Tl;Dr nepotistic command structures of the Roman military meant the way they won most of the wars before the Marian reforms (and even after, arguably) was by getting armies killed until someone competent accidentally took over. Unlike all of their opponents, Rome could afford to lose and replace their field armies until they randomly got lucky/the enemy ran out of soldiers.

Come on now calling Fortnite a decent shooter is a bit much. A decent builder with the violence children crave perhaps

There are also plenty of tests confirming those circumstances naturally lead to nucleotides forming.
Finding them on asteroid isn’t proof of panspermia but it is evidence that life is a natural and expected feature of the universe.

The original title of Robinson Crusoe:
“The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrates.”
