I am pretty sure that is NOT a Roman aqueduct but a Portuguese built one from the 18th century.

This map is really out of date. We now know there were humans in North America many thousands of years before "15,000 years ago".

I have at least a dozen USB A extension cables at work that supposedly don't exist then.

Full synthetic oil isn't made from any "real" oil. It's a hugely complicated chemical process and people won nobel prizes for it. I don't understand how this could affect real full synthetic oil.

I'm sure this will be lost in the comments but you CAN get 25GBit here in 'murica. My ISP offers it... But this ISP is also considered one of the best in the world so... https://epb.com/...

I'll never have an original thought...

There are quite a few sci-fi stories and short stories built on a similar concept. One of my favorites is an alien ship lands on a random farm in the US and (leaving a lot of details out, read the book!) it comes to light that the aliens normally live at insanely hot temperatures like 900F (480C) and consider Earth an "Ice World" (that's also the name of the book). Anyway, one of the catches in the book is that farmer figures out the alien wants to trade (again skipping a lot of details) but all he has on him that he can give up is a cigarette (the farmer doesn't know it's super hot inside the ship). He does the trade and we later find out that most of the galaxy is INSANELY vulnerable to being 100% completely utterly addicted to nicotine. When the alien took in the cigarette it instantly vaporized and sent the nicotine into the air and they breathed it and became instantly addicted worse than any opiod addiction IRL.

My mom's side of the family is all Cajun, which means they came from France, went to Canada, and then settled in Louisiana (where I was born). Considering how long ago all this happened there is likely exactly zero documentation about this. What can I do?

The speed at which those tiny ass fans would have to rotate to generate enough lift makes the physics basically impossible!

Ring My Bell By Anita Ward

I'm old, send help.

I've taken french, spanish and latin. None of which would help me with much older English. I'm pretty good with figuring out context but I'd probably have a really hard time with anything older than 1400-1500. Canterbury tales for example in the original English is really hard to read and there's a lot of words that make no sense to a modern only English speaker.

Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote

The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,

And bathed every veyne in swich licour,

Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

And smale fowles maken melodye,

That slepen al the night with open yë,

(So priketh hem nature in hir corages):

Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages

(And palmers for to seken straunge strondes)

To ferne halwes, couthe in sondry londes;

And specially, from every shires ende

Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

The holy blisful martir for to seke,

That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seke.

I hadn't actually considered that. That very likely makes me ineligible actually. Thinking about it like that, I doubt any of my ancestors were ever actually Canadian. I'd forgotten about the fact Canada wasn't an independent country yet so they wouldn't qualify and therefore I wouldn't either.

How did that last for over 1k years???

Not exactly niche tastes for sure. I enjoy listening to almost any genre (seriously, even country). But the rapid commercialization and repetitiveness of most modern music (in any genre) is really off-putting. I do listen to current music but while it's not super niche, it'd also never end up on a list like this.

I'm not one of those people who only listens to indie bands and thinks I'm superior. Last week I listened to everything Pink Floyd ever released. :D The week before that it was all swedish power metal.

MEIFENG as best as I can tell. Please note, I can not read Kanji but it seems this is the wrong orientation in the pic. I had to crop it and rotate it to get it to translate.

1968

18 was a long ass time ago for me. It would have been the late 90's. The world was so much different that I don't think anything I could say in 3 words would make any sense to my 18 year old self. I didn't have any money at 18 so something like "buy apple stock" wouldn't have worked.

Even taking the big assumption that I believed what I was telling my 18 year old self I can't actually come up with anything that makes sense in context. 3 words just isn't enough to convey anything useful given the time difference and everything else!

After playing for about 10 minutes, it pegged my CPU and then crashed silently and completely disappeared with no errors at all.

The options screen is cut off on my install of Linux. Linux Mint 22 w/ Cinnamon 1440p

I too have only heard one song on this list. But I was born more than 4 decades ago so....
