People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I mean what else are you suppose to do with the old shoes?
But on a serious note, I do get curious how some of these things were discovered. For example, how did they learn that brains helped tan hides?
They probably left some brain on untanned hides and realized it did stuff.
That or my thought was they piled all the stuff in the hide to take back and realized something at that point, either way these thoughts always get me thinking how the Ancients found this stuff out.
I dunno about your example, but most people throughout history didn't have the luxury of throwing food away. So yeah your milk is chunky and has blue spots, you eat it or starve.
