Historians used to bicker about the origins of capitalism, a debate that confuses modern readers who assume "capitalism" is a universal. But the old-timers were more right than wrong: there were once $20 bills lying on every street and, mysteriously, no one picked them up.

I need y'all to remember that Millennials were growing up in a time where reruns were HEAVILY still a thing. We were consuming media from as early as the 30s. Movies, television, music. Definitely cartoons. And loving it all. "What y'all know about this?" LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

Helge Ingstad walked out of his own law firm in 1926 to live on caribou with the hunters of the Canadian Arctic, proved at 60 that the Vikings beat Columbus to America, and died at 101. He was 26, a successful attorney in a small Norwegian town, and bored to the bone. He sold the practice, sailed to Canada, and spent four years as a trapper in the Barren Lands east of Great Slave Lake, a good part of it travelling with a band the neighbouring peoples called the Caribou Eaters. They earned the name. The herd came through, they killed, and for months on end the menu was meat, fat, marrow and tongue, with nothing green in sight. He wrote that he had never been in better condition in his life. He came home, wrote a bestseller about it, and was promptly made governor of a slice of East Greenland, then of Svalbard. He went to live among the Apache. He went to live with the inland Eskimo of Alaska, who also ate caribou and very little else, and stayed a winter. Then, in his sixties, he took up a problem the professors had filed under legend. The sagas said Norsemen had reached a land west of Greenland around the year 1000. Ingstad read them as sailing directions, worked along the coast of Newfoundland by boat asking fishermen about old ruins, and in 1960 a man in a village called L'Anse aux Meadows walked him to some grassy bumps by a stream. His wife Anne Stine, an archaeologist, dug them. Eight Norse buildings, a forge, a bronze pin. Five hundred years before Columbus. He was still writing at 100. Every dietary guideline issued in his lifetime would have classed his four formative years as a slow suicide. He outlived the authors of most of them by a comfortable margin, and rewrote the history of a continent on the side.

Still thinking about that philosophy student who became a mason because she was bored

Colorado wildlife crossings have been amazingly successful. 🐻🦌🫎 In fact, a 10-month-old wildlife crossing over I-25 has reduced animal-vehicle collisions by 91%, giving everything from elk, deer, pronghorn, and many other species a safer way to cross. 🚧

As i said earlier when it was "revealed" on Country life magazine today, Prince George's amazing art wasn't actually his,lol 😂 it's an art course through his school Eton and its a step by step design, that the course leads you. Same happened with Prince William William Parker Bowles when he was at Eton, they released a drawing and started saying how talented he is, and in the end it was the same, a step by step course. Kensington palace thinking again that nobody will find this out, lol everyone figured it out in a few hours. Ridiculous

The idealized rural America in my head and the reality are separating at an alarming rate. Most people I meet even off the clock are rude, riddled with visible diseases, drug-addled mongoloids. Never living further than 10 miles away from a Whole Foods for the rest of my life.

We all had that phase where we thought about becoming a teacher. Summers off. Pension. A workplace that isn't stressful compared to corporate America.

Tech bros sold their birthright for an oatmeal. They should’ve kept distance from Trump and not go all-in for like five percent tax break

It's still underappreciated how well Arabic and French (high) cultures blend.

Maybe they see the issue as not so much what the government “does” but its ability to stay out of the way.

Ancient holidays were a week long affair . More like festivals. You can feel this is correct while at work today. People not really there. The whole world slowing down. You can just make the entire week a holiday and it's better than whatever is happening now.

The guy refused eye contact at all costs to escape bear. His reaction was picture perfect. A cub means mama is nearby. By standing still and making no sudden movements or attempting to run or interact with the cub, it shows he is not a threat. You'll notice at the 0:36 mark, he actually gives a thumbs up to the person in the car. He was fully aware of the cub the entire time; he notices it right at the beginning when he turns his head. You see him go from relaxed to vigilant pretty much right away. When the cub began jumping on him, he had to make a decision; if a cub is jumping on you, regardless of if it's curiosity or as a predatory behavior, that's all the green light mama needs to tear you apart. And looking away, avoiding eye contact and keeping your arms as close to your body as possible is exactly the recommended course of action. You can see perfectly well that it works – even the bear doesn’t know what to make of him as long as he stands there still, with the bear just ‘nibbling’ at him in confusion. But as soon as he moves again, the bear starts chasing after him once more. So this bloke knows about what to do in this situation. He is so remarkably calm even when the bear nibbles his leg.

In any case I'm writing a short article on why people used to drown kittens and why they stopped, with a good number of colorful characters and surprising facts emerging as I research the topic.

I am not bullish on white collar jobs. I think if you sit in front of a computer you will not have a job in ten years. I am bullish on free time, hobbies and outdoor activities. Individuals will go through a massive identity crisis as they become obsolete from AI, but people will start going outside again and playing. I think UBI will eventually happen, but there is going to be some pain, unemployment and a big depression before that happens. We are living in unprecedented times. Get ready.
