What does /out/ think of Primitive Technology? I've seen many of his videos so far. He's built some pretty amazing things and he does it all with mud, rocks, and sticks.

That man turned me gay after watching three of his videos.

Never had a gay thought in my life, in fact I'm considered a ladies man really... but I would straight blow that dude.

I'm not OP or associated with the champion of men who does the videos but I can't deny the effect they have on me.

I forgot the Africa was a Star Trek style techno utopia before the white man showed up and ruined it

Or did we go back in time and sabotage them even earlier? There's just no other possible explanation for why we had ships, compasses, clocks, gunpowder, etc. and they had sticks, huts and fire when we first encountered one another
>>

You ignored my point and ploughed right through.

>>752362
>we had ships, compasses, clocks, gunpowder, etc
kinda ironic since all of those were invented by the Chinese.
>>
>>752366
>the chinese invented ships
>>
>>752371
the ones Europe was using between 1500 and 1700 are built exactly like the Chinese seagoing junks, right down to the offset masts.

It's no accident European technology took off right after trade routes to china were found. Chinese stuff was trickling in by way of the Muslims well before that though.

I'm going to go to Queensland and kick his hut down. It would be like kicking 100 cairns.

To be fair Africa is probably like a pvp Minecraft server irl, right?
Build something nicer and some dude will come along and grief it.
>>
>>752377
They were probably a lot like the Native Americans. The didn't have the resources or the need for Asian or European technology.

their biggest problem came from not inventing writing though. Our technology then and now didn't come from everyone being super smart. It came from one smart person improving something and then writing it down for other people to learn and build on. We have the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans to thank for that. China was doing the same thing much earlier, but they hit a stopping point in how far they could go with it while most Europeans were still living in mud huts and hunting with spears.

It's not a proper junk rig without the stiffening spars in the sails.

Besides, the ocean-going caravel is a European invention and it's the entire reason that whitey was able to find sea routes to the east in the first place.

>it's big therefore it's good
The european ship is built for function, the Chinese one is a work of art but is built to show off power of the government and couldn't have survived rough seas. Also the Greeks had a ship bigger than that.
>>
>>754673
You're retarded. You know nothing about ships. This Chinese ship could easily ram into any European ship and sink it. The Greeks never even built ships.
>>
>>754683
You can do better

>You're retarded.

They didn't. The vast majority of Greek technology was passed down to them by the Romans.

Are by any chance an American?

Athens used war ships to great effect in the Peloponnesian war in 400 bc, Those ships gave them the edge--force multipliers that allowed their weaker soldiers to outmaneuver the Spartans. Thucydides wrote about it.

Yes I am American.

Are you trying to suggest European shipbuilding was anything like Chinese shipbuilding?

>The didn't have the resources or the need for Asian or European technology.

The continent is filled with animals, plants and all manner of mineral wealth.

>Our technology then and now didn't come from everyone being super smart.

East Asians and whites are significantly more intelligent than sub-Saharan Africans. Their average IQ is like 20 points below that of whites.

What did for us is a harsh winter killing everyone too dumb to work out how to survive it.

Building those Chinese treasure fleets absolutely destroyed their forests.

every time I see the treasure fleet size comparison i die a little.

Within 20 posts this became a thread about European/Chinese cultural and technological superiority.

Has anybody ITT tried to build a house from stone? Anybody have good resources on thatching?
>>
>>755079
How the hell do you even build a house out of stone like that without it just falling apart?
>>

Have you tried not be a pussy little bitch? Have you?

>How the hell do you even build a house out of stone like that without it just falling apart?
The stones fit together perfectly.

You select somewhat square stones in the first place to make your life easier. You chop each stone into shape individually with a hammer while building the wall. You can use the chopped off parts as filler material to keep the stones from wiggling around.

Needs a lot of skill to build something like your pic. Most dry stone walls aren't that pretty.

Europe had ships in the 700's and earlier. don't get so but hurt just because muslims and blacks are savage cave people.
>>
>>755521
in ireland they use a mixture of sand and lime to create a cement like mixture. extreme craftsmanship and hard work
>>
>>752325
Yeah it's so hard to build a mud hut when you already have access to the knowledge, food, shelter and healthcare

It's almost like the vikings and africans had much more shit to deal with
>>
>>756163
and in england they use a mixture of irishmen and scots :3
