Maybe it’s even already happened and I’m simply not aware of it.
Hit the lawyer, facebook up and delete the gym. Or something like that.
500 years from now someone will be doing a doctoral thesis on the cultural significance of goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, lemon party and Rick roll.
I would argue that the Cube Rule belongs in the same annals of history as any work by Plato and Aristotle.
I hope not.
In the time of Plato, only the most educated could read and write. So if you could do both, I think your odds of being remembered had almost as much to do with writing good quality as it did with being lucky enough for your writing to survive centuries.
As for us…it will happen but only very rarely.
There was oral history too though.
There are merchants records and other civil documents from 1,200 years before Plato. In fact the oldest known letter of complaint dates from 1,750BC.
So I disagree.
what’s it that you disagree with?
The comment I replied to.
i know, but what specifically in that comment?
I’m not sure how else to say it without repeating it.
I disagree that only the most educated people could read and write
I disagree that not many internet posts will be recorded for posterity
but we know that too few people used to be literate. I couldn’t understand the need to disagree with this, i thought i misunderstood what you wrote.
It’s actually a bit of an ‘urban myth’ it did apply in eg Victorian Times but at other points in history there was widespread literacy.
What you do find at some times is that an elite wrote and spoke one language but everyone else wrote another. Which was a way of controlling access to information. This is one reason that the Bible was in Latin and there was subterfuge needed to get the first Bible in English. (The pages were smuggled into the country)
That’s such a good point I’ve never really thought about. 🤔 Actually kind of a trip to try and imagine a world where simply knowing how to read written text was akin to sorcery.
Hey, that makes you a sorcerer, just in the wrong century.
Most likely the only time this would happen is if someone is trying to make a point and they take a joke post as something serious.
One could only hope.
Not if we don’t deal with climate change pronto, no.
Climate change is a threat to humanity but it’s not an existential threat. I don’t get why this kind of extremist thinking is so common here…
Prepare to be downvoted to hell for stating a fact.
Could you explain more?
No credible scientist is claiming it’s going go wipe out entire humanity. The estimates for excess yearly deaths in 2050 - 2100 vary from some hundreds of thousands to few million.
It’s bad but it’s not “we’re all going go die” -bad
dril’s absurdism will be studied and praised
We peaked with the PhilosoRaptor meme imo
No because I nuked my reddit comment history
I think people 500+ years from now will look back on us like we look back on people of the European Dark Ages.
The DarkGPT ages. All knowledge from this time must be questioned.
You’re already infamous to me. I swear I see your name under every post
Look upon the wisdom of their memes and shitposts!
