Had my face on a news photo once.

Can you get your hands on a pencil and a piece of paper? If yes, that’s really all you need for a well-worded letter or card. If you want to get a gift, you can try and look into second-hand markets in your area, those usually have cheap things that might be nice. You can also check online markets, because with luck, you can find stuff for free. Sometimes people give away plants as well.

Of course, if you get anything second-hand, inspect the items for stuff like dirt, holes, anything broken, etc. With a plant you should check it for pests and diseases as well.

Bleh. I once had a huge infected area (don’t ever do skin picking people) on my leg. Definitely sucked, though not something worth writing a chapter or two about.

Also, those pieces usually are explained as objects for fertility. And as a mammal that is pregnant for 9 months with 1 child, then gives birth and almost dies, and then, the child has to survive for at least 14-20 years to be able to reproduce, I can certainly understand why people would have wanted to try to ensure fertility + surviving pregnancy, childbirth, and childhood.

What would other civilizations think of us?

Well, you can’t know about that. Maybe there’s a sex planet full of slutty aliens out there.

Olive yellow I’d say, or booger yellow.

Psst, hey. https://fmhy.pages.dev/ Stop giving money to these assholes.

Norway we’re gonna stop!

A lot of people do hate Russians, especially if you ask their neighbors.

There still are a lot of shitty books out there, and literature is not immune to trends, whether they are mainstream or limited to specific subcultures. And as long as there is at least one existing copy avaible for streaming/download, any piece of media lasts forever.

What is the ideal temperature for a toddler’s room?

Uhhhh that’s not how it works.

Hell nah, seasonal depression is already bad enough.

Just rinse it well, I’m pretty sure you won’t have any problems.

Also, in the one scenario where I would find dressing up as a nazi acceptable, which is if they’re an actor for a movie/show/play that requires nazi characters, they are not going to just put an armband on their everyday modern clothing.

They’ll wear a proper reconstruction of an actual nazi uniform, and they’re not going to just walk around in that costume, they’re going to be on or around a set, which also gives any possible passerbys the context clues needed to understand that they’re just an actor, thus saving themselves from being punched.

Yeah, gold isn’t worth anything unless a community agrees to assign a value to it, which probably won’t happen in an apocalyptic scenario. If you really want to be prepared, you need to stock up on things that are actually useful:

• non-perishable, nutritious food (preferably something that has a lot of calories in a small serving so you could carry it on you)
• drinking water!! you would have to change it every once in a while though, so you wouldn’t be drinking germ soup if a societal collapse actually happens
• durable, good quality clothing for various climates/weather conditions (due to climate change and the possibility that you would flee somewhere, you should preferably have clothing suitable for other climates than just the one you’re used to)
• miscellanous supplies, like tools for building shelters, farming, making & maintaining different items, destroying things like trees or rocks to make space for building/agriculture or more likely, obtain materials. Things to protect yourself and your loved ones from the elements, like a good tent, sleeping bags, etc. Flashlights, powerbanks, batteries, water purifiers, multitools…
• knowledge. No matter how much stuff you have, it’s no use if you don’t actually know how to do things. Learn canning, blacksmithing, sewing, gardening, fishing, carpentry, foraging, and so on.

I mean, considering the fact that numerous pre-modern cultures relied on (diluted) alcohol as their main drink since water was too dirty to drink safely without mixing it in with wine/beer/whatever, and that a lot of people would use alcohol to cope with te hard times that might actually be a good skill to have in the scenario of large amounts of infrastructure becoming unusable. (modern knowledge of germ theory & boiling drinking water would probably make it a lot more useless, but I bet you could find people willing to trade supplies with you for a nice drink.

I think they’re talking about plastic bottle caps.
