Someone, long ago, lost to the mists of time, invented pudding. Someone invented beer. Someone discovered chocolate. Weed. Chicken wings. The sandwich. Pizza. Ice cream. Even the wonders of magic mushrooms. God bless these intrepid explorers and inventors, though we will never know their names.

I invented all of those things op, you’re welcome. Except for ‘shrooms, I can’t take credit for Mother Nature’s miracles.

Like, someone invented sausage. Some guy or gal long ago had the thought: What if we stuff the meat of this dead creature into the intestinal sack of the creature, than cook that up?

Cheers to the person who discovered which mushrooms taste good, and condolences to the many more people who discovered which will kill the poo poo out of you.

the earliest subscription models are any artisan 'guilds' that have ever existed, which have surely existed since the inception of money

Just a few days late for November 5, the date that commemorates the day in 1955 when Doc Brown slipped off the toilet and hit his head on the sink and envisioned the flux capacitor.

A lot of those aren't really lost to time. But they also weren't really inventions but changes and refinements on an earlier thing. We know who first did the modern take, but we also know there were earlier versions. If you try to go back far enough to reach the "original", you end up with something that's so different from the familiar modern that it's hard to say if it counts. And that's still going to be based on something older. This is especially true for pudding and pizza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6XvMKdD2tY
