I've always wondered about this. How did it ever occur to advanced monkey people to come up with this two-wheeled butt-hauling device?

>what if we made a fake horse, but with wheels instead of legs
when we realized using gears on a wheeled vehicle is more efficient than walking. Give people the knowledge off two and they will experiment on stuff until they invent new things.
bump for potential
One problem with Genesis being an allegory I have is how extremely typical the cosmology and cosmogony is in an iron age Near Eastern context.
The Greeks, Canaanites, Babylonians all believed the Earth was a flat disk sitting in water, covered by a metallic or stone dome.

The creation account in Genesis and Enuma Elish have almost the same chronology.

It's like if a thousand years from now the big bang turned out to be wrong and people started saying we meant it as an allegory.
Fuck off. Genesis 1 is contradictory with Genesis 2, therefore the Bible is automatically disregarded as factual.

Shitty bait.

It actually isn't, as long as you start with the premise that Adam is only supposed to be the ultimate progenitor of the Hebrew people (because who cares about anyone else, right?), and not of mankind in general.
Which, admittedly, isn't what mainstream Abrahamic religions have done since, but there's really nothing in the original texts that the proto-Jewish polytheists were using that indicates that they thought that Adam was the forefather of the entire world.
So i've been interested lately in the post world war 1 francization of alsace lorraine, but i can't find any good english primary sources. am i shit out of luck when it comes to primary sources on this topic?
The only thing you need to know is that Alsace-Lorraine is rightfully German
>>2389795
this goes without saying,friend.
>>2389782
>Francization
You mean Germanization
Hello /his/,
A friend discovered this in a German trench in l'aisne, it seems like an old glass bulb full of some liquid, does anyone know what it is ?

Could be a halogen enclosed mine, they were experimented with in that exact region; they were ineffective and scrapped.

Once you've set yourself on fire a few times it gets a lot easier.
>>2388684
It's basically overriding instinct, using your brain to overpower itself, being so focused you ignore the pain
Think about meditation practices. Idk if you've ever tried it, but you start to think to yourself "why am I sitting here, staring at a wall, just breathing/repeating a mantra?"
or if you're familiar with Wim Hof, it's possible to phase out the pain of coldness/freezing using breathing (to raise your core body temperature) and meditation (psychological component)

Is it possible that Psychopaths and all mental illness with ill intentions are natural? Like they are the wolves to us dogs, and that human nature at its core is meant to do harm?
What if we as a species evolved and domesticated ourselves into dogs, leaving our wolf ancestry behind, and all these people with bad intentions have prominent wolf genes which should explain their predation?
>>2388279
Animals are made to hunt and eat, it's amazing that nature even manages to turn savage killers like wolves into nurturing parents that are higher on the food chain than perfected killing machines like snakes.
>>2388279
Of course they are, psychological pathologies are natural as fuck.
But what you understand under the term "psychopath" is not someone who wants harm people all day, the psychopaths you are talking about try to do anything to reach their goals and they don't give a fuck if someone gets harmed by their attempt of reaching that goal.
>>2388320
>hey don't give a fuck if someone gets harmed by their attempt of reaching that goal
that is still harm, just not physical.
>Christ spoke Aramaic
>New Testament was written in Greek
>your audience probably speaks English
>the Catholic Church would -insist- on giving sermons in Latin
Fucking why
>>2387295
so lay people can't know the text of the bible, only what you tell them
interestingly there are many surviving medieval bible plays that were based on stories from non-canonical gospels, like the story of jesus as a boy bringing clay birds to life from the gospel of thomas
because Latin mass is spoopy and is done in a spoopy supernatural way, it's like when non German speaking journalists used to go to hitler rallies and get totally hypnotized by hitler all the same

Step one, grow a mustache. This is very important.
Step two, throw a bomb in a crowded marketplace
Step three, be arrested by the police and die in your cell, suicide optional.
Which civilization is the best?
I'm proud of my Siamese civilization :)
They are about as advanced as the Mesopotamians
>>2383079
Actually no we were literally as advanced as Indians because we are an extension of Indic civilization :)
>>2383024
Siam is probably the stand-out, but the whole region is better seen as a single culture-area rather than a series of geographically limited states.
You suddenly appear in the heart of Rome in 150AD. You only have what you're wearing and carrying on your person right now. You can't speak Latin except for any Latin you've already learned thus far. Realistically, what do you do?

Reminder that Jesus was fathered by a Roman soldier called Panthera and his mother was convicted of adultery for it.

I never got why people get butthurt or caught up in the mysticism of Christianity.
Fucking Mewtwo understands it better. The circumstancesof Jesus' birth are irrelevant. We are all the children of God. With his life, he chose to teach people to love and be kind to one another and die for that belief.
Shitty people just twist everything. The Bible is historical fiction and should ot be taken literally in most cases. It is like most stories, it teaches moral/life lessons
