literally every history question has been asked in there and thoroughly, *comprehensively* answered already

Post on r/askhistorians from 7 hours ago: At what point in history could chicken nuggets realistically have been made?

post redirecting user to post from r/trevor_culley from 4 years ago

There's really not much to chicken nuggets. Ground chicken mashed into a small clump, breaded, and deep fried. Everything you need for a basic, no frills chicken nugget would have been available to you in the Indus Valley Civilization by at least 3500 BCE if not earlier.

Let's start with chicken because that's kind of crucial. Red jungle fowl were first captured and kept by humans in their native region of southeast Asia and the neighboring islands (ie Indonesia) around 8000 BCE. Strictly speaking, these weren't chickens yet because domestication is a long process, but the novelty of this cool new bird spread quickly and red jungle fowl arrived near the Ganges River by about 7000 BCE. By 4000 BCE, true domestic chickens were being raised and eaten in the Indus Valley, just as the early signs of agriculture and urbanization were starting up.

Those early signs of agriculture included the introduction of domesticated wheat, which had been spreading across the world from its own starting point with early agriculture in Anatolia and upper Mesopotamia around 10,000 BCE. Basically from the start, wheat was ground up into flower, mixed with water, and cooked into some very basic bread. So both flower and bread crumbs are available now too, though the bread was usually flatbread, so expect a different texture.

India is home to all sorts of herbs and spices you could use to add flavor, but the only thing I think would probably be crucial to your chicken nugget breading is salt. Not to worry though, the ruined city known today as Kerala-no-dhoro has you covered. Located on the coast of modern Gujarat and founded around 3700 BCE, it was a center of salt production by collecting and evaporating sea water.

(Answer goes on for another 2000 characters but I'm approaching the word limit)

I've spent so long in the rurals that when my HS friend born/raised in Paterson NJ mentioned a family member who quickly became depressed when alone I said "It's like when you have a goat. They need a friend or they get depressed so you get another goat OR a donkey to fight coyotes I'm dead serious

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes. It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click. I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

Extremely stylized drawing of Donkey Kong showing a little boy "wondrous places", from a promotional story book included with Nintendo's 1999 corporate annual report.

The next evening
when he went to bed he looked at the factory and
said sleepily, ‘Please let there be fun… please let there be
fun…’. And that night, his dream showed him a powerful,
happy, fun-loving gorilla who led Nathaniel to wondrous
places… and did exactly what Nathaniel told him.
Nathaniel was having fun.

For over 2yrs MBA midwits have been promising investors an “AI driven” media model and there is zero examples of any being successful. Because “AI”’s ability to produce anything minimally readable without humans simply redoing the labor (eg writing it themselves) is a myth. It’s fake. It’s not real.

A diagram of a pink blob eating a sword enemy and getting a sword. The caption says "Kirby can gain the properties of enemies or objects he eats– for example, by inhaling a sword-wielding foe, Kirby gains the Sword ability."

Sat down with Over the Garden Wall again recently, wildly eclectic in tone and inspiration. Effortlessly shifts from irreverent modern comedy to fairytale horror while drawing from a couple centuries of Americana and absolutely nails all of it. Instantly timeless.
