What's on your mind?

[MehGuy]

What would y 'all be doing in 1918?

Too early for radio.. maybe you can watch a Charlie Chaplin film or something.. drink some coke, drive a car.. listen to some records.. guess beer existed then..

 

[Noxot]

one thing is certain. books.

 

[MehGuy]

I don't think they had very many good books back then.

 

[MehGuy]

Life was pretty boring back then.. you can get glimpse of how bored people are by listening to recordings from hundreds or thousands of years ago. It wasn't until Edison that humanity invented sound recording.. but accidental recordings appear everywhere. For example when someone makes pottery they also talk with their friends and the sound waves are recorded on the prints from the pottery. With modern computers you can pick up these accidental recordings.. and it's fun to listen to them.. most of them are about people talking about how bored they are because there is nothing to do.

Sadly it's hard to listen to stuff beyond the 1600s.. because before that.. even you don't have modern English so you can't understand what they're saying.. besides sub-titles.

what. is that a real thing, sounds far-fetched.

there was still plenty of things to read by 1918, at least concerning religion and some philosophy. even some psychology stuff was around, probably. and darwin might have been neat to read.

Yeah, it's real. Recording sound can be pretty simple. Not the greatest, but you can listen to some brief conversations.

myth busters say they busted it. did other people disprove them?

Ancient Voices Recorded Onto Pottery

They didn't bust anything.

I know politically correct people don't like it, because it reveals some ugly truths. Guess some have an agenda to deny these recordings.

what should I youtube so I can hear them?

 

[MehGuy]

what should I youtube so I can hear them?

I'd type in "Archaeoacoustics". Computers and technology get better and better every year.. so new possibilities open up.

Remember listening to this couple fight dating back to the 1720s. They sure said a lot of swear words, kind of like modern day people. One sounded like they threw some dishes at the wall.

 

[MehGuy]

Watching The Last Jedi for the first time.. already awful during the first few minutes. So cheesy.. Heard its a really SJW film.. these films shouldn't be canon.

 

[MehGuy]

The originals were cheesy too.. but in a good way..

 

[Strider1002]

I don't think they had very many good books back then.

But then they didn’t have Twilight or Fifty Shades... so the average quality of their literature just shot way up!

 

[Saucy]

Yeah Star Wars sucks. I dont get the hype lol

 

[MehGuy]

Seems like this film wants to be like Happy Gilmore.

 

[MehGuy]

But then they didn’t have Twilight or Fifty Shades... so the average quality of their literature just shot way up!

Yeah.. in 1918 they had Venus In Furs and other cheesy romance novels.

 

[Strider1002]

Mmm, avocadoes.
As of today I’m keto-ing again.

 

[MehGuy]

I can't take this movie seriously.. I must be one of those "manchildren" people have been saying the critics are.

 

[Noxot]

this pot was obviously crafted in hell. it's kind of soothing.

 

[Noxot]

they can make stars make sounds too, by changing the radiation into sound.
