We also did this with Corn, where corn used to mean any grain or pellet-like food (see: barleycorn, peppercorn, etc.)

Reply to comment by dfreshv in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
This is why Norse mythology is so wild, it's the cosmology of a people that spent every winter doing mushrooms in the dark

There's a huge issue of equity here too; the unfair allocation and costs of radio licenses means that an immigrant community that actually still would like to use radio for something other than classic rock and bad advertising has no way to access it, and internet radio is simply not as accessible to everyone in that community

I think the fact that it's probably impossible to make much money doing it helps make the stores better. You can't possibly approach it to get rich, you have to be doing it because you love books and sharing them with people

Theoretically, could you transplant non-human hair follicles onto your head, and would they continue to grow the type of hair from the animal they're taken from?

I don't think my neighbors who hold a few weeks of food in their basements are crazy; I think the neighbors who told me they had a list of other neighbors whose land they planned to annex when it 'hits the fan' are crazy

I successfully used one of these to get a broken screw out of a washing machine transmission, but I got the distinct impression that it wouldn't have worked if the screw had been rusted in there. You don't get a lot of torque on small, cheap screws before they just drill out
