There is a small well investigated 12000 year breifly occupied camp site in Trollesgave in Denmark. Here archeologists found a hearth and a load of flint that have been worked and used. All flint fragments have been very carefully mapped, analyzed and built together again into the original stones to trace back how they were made and used. Part of what the archeologists found was that there were three individuals that were knapping flint here, one master which sat on a larger stone while working, one of intermediary skill and one of very low skill. The master produced well crafted tools that appear to have been used throughout the camp site. The low skill craftsman sat approximately 1,5 meters from the stone of the high skills craftsman and produced some few fragments that seem to have been used near the heath for processing food. Some way back near what would have been a lake side the intermediary craftsman produced usable but lower quality tools that have also been used throughout the camp site, interestingly some lower quality shards from this craftsman have been found several meters away in what would have been the lake by then. This paints a nice picture of what was likely a single family camping there. One skilled adult was making flint tools for use by the family. Right infront of that adult a small child was sitting, learning and playing and but only producing a few pieces of cutting fragments that it, presumably proudly, presented to the ones preparing food by the hearth. By the lake, someone, likely an older child or adolescent, was also making tools for the family, and seemingly out of frustration, threw their lowest quality messups into the lake.

As far as we know, the first Finn to taste coffee was Axel Käg from Turku, while he was in service to the duke of Schleswig-Holstein on his trip to Persia in 1637. I GISed Axel Käg and I guess it's this guy:  e: No apparently that's Mikael Andersson, author of the book "A Cup of Coffee?". 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 11:35 on Apr 4, 2022 |

I can't find a ton about the worship of Khonsu the god, so it's plausible that taking a day off work to drink with the god is a thing that was done, but it's also plausible that he was drinking with a high priest. Or maybe he just had a friend who was also called Khonsu and he was just having a good time with his bro.

Something less horrifying and more... Bizarre? Odd in it's... Plain-ness? The etymological origin of the Swedish word for a coffee-break, 'fika' is simply the inverted order of the syllables for coffee: 'Kaffe'.

A question for the historically inclined: A brother of an ancestor worked on a Danish ship that went to the "East Indies" in the early 1840s. Via several papers (mostly Danish ones, but also Javasche Courant and Singapore Free Press), I have confirmed that they were in Manila, Batavia (Jakarta), Singapore, Padang, and Banyuwangi. I assume they travelled by the southern route, ie. via the Cape of Good Hope, and so I've gone through De Zuid-Afrikaan's "Shipping Intelligence" columns for the relevant months, but I've had no luck there. They mostly mention English, French, and Dutch ships, but they do also mention Danish, German, Norwegian, and Swedish ships so idk what the criteria was there. Are there other newspapers from Cape Town or even from other ports along the route that would be worth checking out? Are they online?

In april 1907 several waiters in Paris went on strike, one of their demands was the right to grow a mustache. The reason for this was that only members of the upper class was allowed to grow one and finally the working class had had enough of it. One newspaper even wrote that their wives was perfectly happy to starve rather than having their husbands be forced to shave. By may the strikers had won and could wear their mustaches while working as waiters.
