Once on IMDB I saw a âgoofâ which was that during a scene set in India(?), the light flicker was at the wrong frequency (in hertz). I wish I knew what movie it was to show you guys, I want to say it was some Marvel shit.
I always wondered how this person knew that. Was there an amazing Indian electrician who just instinctively felt the flicker rate was off? Did they go frame by frame and count the flickers per second?
I wanna say that was Tenet?
It was The Bourne Supremacy @garbage-empressâ
holy fuck

Sometimes you just have to rest. The world can wait.

To all the girls who âLove adventuresâ
A trip to 7-11 at 12:am is most definitely an adventure
If yâall donât know how to treat mundane life experiences with awe and wonder at the world then maybe itâs *you* thatâs probably boring thatâs all Iâm sayin
Apparently I badly want to go on my âstop making fun of plague doctors, they were ahead of their time and doing the best they could with the primitive equipment they had availableâ rant.
They werenât stupid.
They shoved herbs in their breathing hose because they knew the air was bad and hoped it would help, and *they were right* in theory. The plague itself was not an airborn virus, but they couldnât know that and it wasnât the only thing killing people at the time anyway, and they covered *all* their bases. If theyâd had the technological knowhow to make air tanks, or even better air filters, they wouldâve. They just made the best air filters they could.
What we think they wore isnât exactly what they wore, and what they actually wore would later be repurposed into scuba suits (and thus spacesuits too) and *actual hazmat suits*, because the theory was sound, the materials were just lacking, and honestly what they did with the materials they had was hardcore.
they wore full face protection which avoids the most obvious mucosal transmission routes
INCLUDING GLASS IN THE EYEHOLES. They invented safety goggles before most of the world had nailed down corrective eye glasses yet
they wore additional head protection to cover seams in their mask/hoods
they oiled and waxed all their clothes to make it fluid-resistant
they wore separate but tight fitting equally if not more fluid-resistant gloves and/or armcuffs so they could keep hand contamination to a minimum even when dressing/undressing AND they only wore the suit in areas they thought was contaminated and took it off before entering uncontaminated areas
they may have used herbed vinegar to clean, and if the stories are true this was clever because 1) itâs available and portable 2) pretty effective as far as medieval disinfectants go versus the damage it does the the user (as opposed to what they had for bleach at the time, and the actual percentage level in alcohols at the time which was mostly insufficient for task as well as being needed for more important things); vinegar is *still* a decent disinfectant even now
It honestly took doctors well into the twentieth century to get that level of obsessive attention to hygiene and cross-contamination back. A whole lot of babies and mothers wouldnâtâve died, for instance, if a plague doctor instead of an obstetrician supported the birth because A PLAGUE DOCTOR WOULD KNOW TO WASH THEIR GODDAMNED HANDS.
Actual plague doctorâs outfits:
Who was responsible for turning plague doctors into laughingstocks instead of primative but honoured medical and scientific predecessors anyway?
Was it the Victorians? It was probably the Victorians. Those pretentious sanctimonious jerks ruined everything.
#i did not realize people made fun of plague doctors #ive mostly seen people freaked out by the aesthetic #they always seemed to me like a bittersweet example of humanity scared shitless #and still trying really really hard #iâd get very poetic about it #sometimes its a stare out the window and empathize with plague doctors kind of day and thatâs just how it is #thatâs just how growing up is #i feel like thanks victorians is a strong contender for thanks obamaâs throne (tags via @cicadianrhythm)
but you almost forgot one of the coolest things!!Â
supposedly some plague doctors would carry hollow canes in order to check the pulse without needing to use their hands or take off their gloves? it was sort of like a very early example of a stethescope
plague boys were smart af
so the pointy doctor stick has an actual medical function
damn
