It's a mindfuck how folks invented calculus, topology, linear algebra, analytic geometry, probabilities, etc. in the fucking 1600s! This shit is still HARD 400 years later, when it's spoon-fed 12 years in school, with 3blue1brown explainers and AI tutors.
The average person today can easily grasp 400yo tech. The printing press, windmill, cannon, plow, etc. are trivial contraptions by modern standards; even a smol brain knows how they work. But math invented 400 years ago? Utterly incomprehensible alien speak, a mile above the average person's head. 0 reply

Growing up, we NEVER had spare batteries because they were too expensive. We would hot-swap, mix and match batteries from TV remotes clocks, radios, toys, etc, wherever they were most needed. You wouldn't believe how much you can squeeze a battery before it's really, truly dead. To this day, I beam with pride when I see my drawer full of pristine AA/AAAs, nine-volts, button-cells, you name it, all sealed and ready to go!
So when my baby daughter's songbooks ran out of batteries, I was like, what do you need? 9 LR1130s? Fuck yeah, I have SIXTY-FOUR spares in this drawer alone, and I can have a hundred more by tomorrow afternoon. IN THIS HOUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE BATTERIES!!! 4 replies
