        [Diogenes of Sinope] destroyed the single wooden bowl he possessed on seeing a peasant boy drink from the hollow of his hands. He then exclaimed: “Fool that I am, to have been carrying superfluous baggage all this time!”

    I ate my dinner off of a piece of bread and my father ate his dinner off of a piece of bread and his father ate his dinner off of a pancake. I’ll be damned if I use any of this modern “ceramics.”

        This is perfection. Perfection! Mark my words: Our dependents will do this for many winters to come, and beyond!

    Clearly an improvement on the plate, as food was always falling off. And soup is just impossible!

      You just make a hole in your bread loaf and pour the soup in. What are you, a steppe nomad?

          Why change perfection?

            Change is natural, persistent, and ongoing. Perfection, when it can be obtained, is fleeting. One of my favorite words, tinaja - a bowl like impression in rock that naturally gathers water. Someone saw that and said, “I can take this here mud, form it into that shape, and carry some water with me.” You ask, “why change perfection?”, and I suggest that trying to stop change is near to impossible.

              I’m telling you. Bread with a hole in the middle. You can’t eat a bowl.

    What’s next, picking the food up from the ‘bowl’ with a tiny trident or a stick? What do these kids think they have hands for?

Welcome to the stone age… or the bronze age… or the iron age… heck, anything with an ‘age’ is welcome, except our modern age or any ages to come.

This is about what the internet was like thousands of years ago back when it all started. Like when Darius the Great hired mercenaries via Craigslist or when Egypt invented emojis.

CODE OF LAWS

1 - Be civil. No name calling, no fighting, keep your flint hand axes inside your leather pouches at all times.

2 - Keep the AI stuff to a minimum. It gets annoying and old fashioned memes are more fun for everyone.

3 - None of this newfangled modern 21st century nonsense. We don’t even know what “21st century” means.

4 - No porn/explicit content. The king is sensitive about these things.

5 - No lemmy.world TOS violations will be tolerated. So there.

6 - There is no rule law 6.

Laws of justice which Hammurabi, the wise king, established. A righteous law, and pious statute did he teach the land. Hammurabi, the protecting king am I. I have not withdrawn myself from the men, whom Bel gave to me, the rule over whom Marduk gave to me, I was not negligent, but I made them a peaceful abiding-place. I expounded all great difficulties, I made the light shine upon them. With the mighty weapons which Zamama and Ishtar entrusted to me, with the keen vision with which Ea endowed me, with the wisdom that Marduk gave me, I have uprooted the enemy above and below (in north and south), subdued the earth, brought prosperity to the land, guaranteed security to the inhabitants in their homes; a disturber was not permitted. The great gods have called me, I am the salvation-bearing shepherd, whose staff is straight, the good shadow that is spread over my city; on my breast I cherish the inhabitants of the land of Sumer and Akkad; in my shelter I have let them repose in peace; in my deep wisdom have I enclosed them. That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.
