“Dos Caras: Padre y Hijo” by Rafael Gallur (2010)
Mr Facts Man, you've gotta help! I have an exam coming up and I need to know everything about human prehistory!
I do not EVER do requests and this is certainly no exception, so no information on the subject will be given below.
Human prehistory began with our ancestors, Homo erectus. Homo erectus lived about 2 million years before English would approach the time when their name would make people giggle.
Homo erectus died out due to overhunting by the Elder Things, which in turn died out due to overhunting by Shoggoths. Shoggoths would not be seen again until the Gothic era.
Early humans, Homo sapiens, a name meaning “Same thing but smarter than Homo erectus,” developed the ability to make tools from stone, mostly by breaking the stone into tool-like shapes, such as the hammer:
The hand-axe:
And the primitive screwdriver:
These tools allowed humans to move out of their caves, which made their parents happy because after 30 million years, everyone involved agreed the time had come to move out and get a job.
This job would of course be humanity’s oldest profession: Chief Information Officer. CIOs maintained early humankind’s digital systems, which at the time were composed only of their own digits (fingers). Thus, base ten math was invented, and patented, and profiteered upon to the detriment of the poor. With the invention of cruelty toward the poor came capitalism, and the counter-invention of socialism, and the war between the two, which was then fought with more and more advanced weapons:
Humans excelled not only in finance and math, but in writing class. By doodling crude images and stick figures in the dirt, humans became able to communicate their ideas to one another more effectively. Several ideas existed at the time, including, “Let’s eat a mammoth,” “Let’s eat a rabbit,” and the still controversial, “Let’s eat pineapple on pizza.”
These early drawings became known as “Hieroglyphs” owing to their height and roglyphity, the former giving them an advantage over lowroglyphs. Hieroglyphs allowed more and more advanced technological advances to be made, such as sewing animal pelts to make better clothing, mixing mortar to create better buildings, and the invention of the earliest known smart phone:
The earliest smart phone had only one app, which allowed it to hit things. It could not make calls, nor could it access the internet, making it more useful and reliable as the common smart phone of the year 2020, which cannot hit things without breaking.
Humans also created art, in which they would smear ashes on rocks to make more accurate depictions of life and imagination than hieroglyphs allowed. Around the same time, humans invented music and the earliest music instrument:
This music was of course known as “Rock.”
Prehistory ends around 3,500 B.C. with the beginning of the Bronze Age. The Bronze Age ended humankind’s reliance on stones for technology and began the ability to make metals, namely bronze. Which comes from ore:
Indeed, since prehistory, humans have come very far. We now have cars, and guns, and electricity, and the internet, on which we learn about our world and its history, and look at portable network graphic files, such as this one:
I repost just to ensure that everyone has found this wonderful site.
One of the funniest failures of US school system is the fact they are legally obligated to teach us all the states but they never actually show how big Alaska is like I have actually had teachers tell me that Texas is the biggest state. We have all just convinced ourselves that Alaska is that small shrunken down thing on most US maps and the people that know it's the largest state can almost never accurately describe how large it is.
For context here is a picture
It has a national park that’s bigger than maine. Or Switzerland. A park.
I lived in Alaska for two years and I will never get over the sheer overwhelming bigness of it.
Nights where the sky is clear you can see clusters of stars or the Northern Lights dancing. When the lights are rippling especially strong and fast you can hear a static crackle in the air. When the moon is out after it’s snowed, you don’t need flashlights to see. Everything glows and glimmers like polished quartz.
But when the sky is clouded over so you can’t see the stars, you can kind of almost sense the mountains towering over you and helping to block out the light, these giant monoliths acting like this void darker than your soul. I’ve never experience night like Alaska night.
Everything is big, the mountains, the sky, the valleys.
And the dark.
Campy Creatures by Emrich Office
After reading this I want some reputable news publication to pay Gilpin to go have Plimpton-esque sporting adventures and then write about them. I would gladly pay to read 5000 words about attempting pre season training with the Seattle Storm next year or playing goalkeeper during a team USA scrimmage. Please Vanity Fair get on that.
The Inexplicable Godzilla Photo of 1878
Godzilla, or “Gojira” in the original Japanese, debuted in cinema on October 27th, 1954. But there is one strange instance of the king of monsters appearing on film far earlier, in 1878. How the great beast got there is still a mystery.
The photo, entitled “A Carriage Passes Through Isuelt, Kentucky, April 1878″ was taken by Brian Holger Phellonemes, presumably in the time range suggested by a title. We know for a fact that the photo has been hanging on display in the Museum of Isuelt since 1891, and has not been altered since at least that year. It was not until 1973 that anybody noticed the appearance of what was always assumed to be a cloud or photochemical flaw in the background. Harold Kramer Harolds, a Godzilla fan, first spotted the object’s resemblance to the iconic kaiju.
For several decades the mystery remained a strange coincidence. But in 2019, Ishiro Honda’s grandson, Takuya Honda, gave an interview that revealed his great grandfather had visited Isuelt, Kentucky from 1877-1879.
Furthermore, when the elder Honda returned from America, he spoke of “giant monsters that roamed the hillside.” These stories went on to inspire Ishiro’s designs for the first Godzilla film. Indeed, the appearance of Godzilla may be non-fictional, based on a real creature that existed in Kentucky in the 1800s. Local Isuelt lore does not record any mention of giant monsters, but there is a vaguely known cryptid from a few miles north in Dristan, Kentucky: The Gorilla Whale.
The Gorilla Whale is said by several folk writers in Dristan to be a giant monster that wandered Kentucky owing to the mating of a Gorilla and a Whale at a defunct German zoo, called The Wagner Estate. Legend has it their progeny grew and grew until it had eaten every other animal at the zoo, and continued out into the wilderness eating bison and deer. Here, the reliable information runs out, varying from person to person ranging from stories of its election as mayor to tales of it fighting Paul Bunyan over a woman named Tiffany.
So it it possible that Godzilla was once a real beast? If not, what appears in the photo and how did the Honda family capture its likeness so perfectly? And can a Gorilla really mate with a Whale? How would that even work? Like just picture it. Really picture it. Eww.
