Well they snagged me when he receives contingency butthole chat if the vagina is incapable. How does a vagina become incapable? How will talking to the butthole help? The answer isn't surprising but is satisfying.

I love that, since somehow cats have become entirely female now at least in the US, and dogs male. I've watched a grown rear end woman scratch a pregnant dog and then ask what his name is.

Offler posted:One last Agatha Christie fun fact. The proper term to use here is "firearm" NOT gun. "Gun" encompasses weapons like mortars and artillery pieces that Agatha Christie did not have characters murder people with. By using 'gun' you are misrepresenting the works of Agatha Christie to the public and promoting ignorance of firearms. In the future, you need to educate yourself and do better.

Allegedly "gun" is derived from Domina Gunhilda, a ballista in Windsor castle, which was in the 14th century when guns first rose to prominence in the Anglosphere probably the biggest thing that shoots other things that people would've been familiar with. This is fitting because Gunhilda is an Anglicisation of the Old Norse name Gunnhildr which essentially means war-battle or even battle-battle.

It's pretty common for people especially of older generations to not really be too bothered with the individual sex of an animal when addressing them. There's some irony there. Also gets amusing with animals like birds and lizards where it can actually genuinely get pretty hard to tell until there's some clear evidence like laying eggs. (and even then, see the PI birb thread title it had about gender non conforming birbs) I think Pratchett wrote about how to an old fashioned country man, all hares are 'she'. (or maybe the other way around, my memory sucks)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ByK-tNdzY I’m going to tell you a little story about the glory days of state sponsored ostrich theft. When the Titanic sank in 1912, the most valuable cargo on board was a shipment of feathers that was insured for $2.3 million in today’s money because in 1912 only diamonds were worth more by weight than feathers. And the reason for this was the hat craze. Everyone needed hats with feathers on them, and they needed to be super big and fluffy, and sometimes people would have entire birds on their hats. The feather trade was extremely profitable, and South Africa was the ostrich farming capital of the world. Feathers were its fourth largest export behind gold and diamonds, and ostrich feathers were the most profitable because they were the most fluffy. The town of Oudtshoorn was the epicenter of this. A group of Lithuanian Jews who were fleeing Tsarist rule had ended up in this weird town in the middle of the desert and started Ostrich farming very successfully. The town is still full of feather mansions that were built with Ostrich profits. There was a problem, namely that the Americans had gotten into Ostrich farming as well. The South Africans knew that if they needed to compete, they needed an edge. They thought that that edge would be the legendary Barbary ostrich. Barbary ostrich plumes were what they called double floss, which meant that they were twice as fluffy and, therefore, twice as profitable. Some Barbary ostriches had been imported into South Africa decades before, but no one was really sure where they had come from. The South African government decided to fund an expedition to go and look for the Barbary ostrich and bring them back alive and breed up the stock. Who else did they get to head this expedition but agriculture professors, of course, very natural. They had a hot tip that the birds had come from Nigeria. They send the expedition off to Nigeria and they hire about a hundred local guys to carry all of their stuff. And you just know that these guys spent the rest of the expedition just going, “Uh, White people.” They set up next to a major feather trading route. There was a local tradition of plucking the ostriches bald, so that was weird. They set up next to the trading routes and they’re looking for these Barbary ostrich feathers, and they finally find some. They come from over the border in French military territory. They go to the French and they ask if they can take some ostriches and the French say,“No.” They cable South Africa and they’re like, “Well, what do we do now? Can we liberate some ostriches?” The thing about South Africa is it’s only been a real country for like a year at this point, and they don’t need trouble with France. They hem and haw for a couple of months and they finally cable back and they’re like, “OK, you can liberate some ostriches, but if you get caught, we never heard of you.” Now there’s a problem. The delay means that the Americans have found out about this expedition and now they’re following the South Africans, trying to buy the same fancy ostriches. The Americans start buying up “junk” ostrich feathers, trying to trick the Americans into getting the wrong birds. [Ed. note: Transcript is accurate, but one of these “Americans” must be “South Africans”.] Now they’re being chased by French officials, American spies and the Tuareg raiders that keep attacking them. They manage to acquire 156 live ostriches. Then they realize that they now have to get these very large, angry birds back across the Sahara Desert. They build these pens out of sticks and, basically, frog march these ostriches like 800 miles back to Lagos, so it’s fine. Then they only have to do is get the birds onto the ship. The thing about the ostriches is that they’re not good sailors. In rough seas, they can flip upside down in their pens with their legs waving in the air. If they stay like that, they can die. On the way back, everyone’s on 24-hour call, listening for the sound of upside down ostriches in distress. They make it back, and it’s awesome because they did it and they’re going to be feather millionaires. Like a year or two after they get back, the entire feather industry collapses, like completely. There’s a couple of reasons for this and one of them is the Model-T because you cannot wear this big, silly hat in an open top convertible. It really doesn’t work. Fashions started to change. Then the second nail in the coffin of the feather industry was World War I. Not only is everyone suddenly in mourning and not inclined to wear silly hats, but women are taking jobs as nurses and ambulance drivers and postal workers, and they need practical, no nonsense clothing that lets them get their jobs done. The moral of the story is don’t underestimate the effect of women on capitalism. As the feather boom collapsed, all it left behind it was a legacy of ridiculous photos and one very nearly forgotten story.

The hat feathers reminded me of this, I don't remember what thread I saw it in, but Janet Stephens made a bunch of videos on how to recreate the hairstyles of ancient history using only the historical technology, her channel has a whole bunch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BMEoxT5YVk Also some more medicinals from the plague year apothecary bill I mentioned earlier itt: - Mixtur. bezoard. antifebril. pestilent. (a mix of various anti-inflammatory bezoars, which are hard trapped masses found in the digestive systems of humans and animals, as opposed to the also mentioned gastroliths which are natural rocks used in digestion) - Emplastr. Triapharmac. c. Camphor (bandage with three pharmaceuticals and camphor) - Sal volatil. corn. cerv. ("volatile salts from pallisade cone sea snails", according to Wikipedia they're poisonous so it sounds like a Mithridatism thing) They really loved using weird poo poo they found in offal for medicine
