Article has no information whatsover about what they mean by “warmest year”.

It’s an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. You can get one from any hardware store.

Yeah but estadounidense is literally the spanish word for someone from the USA.

Not 200 BC-- that date is for an unrelated language.

Hittittes were around from like 1600-1200 BC, so a language lost to them is probably at least like 1500 BC.

If we stay in debt to them, then it’s unlikely we’ll go to war. Who attacks their own investment?

You can, yeah. They can be grafted to m series rootstocks.

Most likely your shoes don’t fit and you should try another size. Are you wearing through the outside first or the inside first?

Could it? Sure, but will it? Probably not. If in doubt I guess you could always do a quick plate count to get an idea of what’s going on in there.

Ah, a fellow connoisseur I see. Do you add enough chili to make them spicy?

Have you tried onion, garlic, fenugreek, coriander, chili? I did a duck and a rattlesnake that way this summer and they were both indescribably delicious on crackers.

Fried eggs last 2 weeks in the fridge easy. Maybe turn your fridge temp down? Or just try it; you might be surprised how long you survive.

Fruit: dehydrate, freeze, or alcoholic fermentantion. Some fruit have special methods, like sulphured apples or bletted medlars.

Vegetables: easiest thing is to pack in brine of 3Tbl per Qt, leave at room temperature or a little cooler for a week before eating. I alway throw in some onion and garlic because I like it that way. Lasts like 6 months at room temperature. Most vegetables have additional special traditional preservation methods, but that fermented pickle in brine works for pretty much all of them.

If you want to be more specific with which foods you need to preserve, I can provide more options.

I’m writing a book on food preservation, ama.

You mean like the civilization starter kit, when the lights go out, the manual for civilization, or the knowledge, how to build civiliazation in the aftermath of a cataclysm?

I think returntomonke could be a place you can belong. More memes than discussion at the moment, but I hope to build real community as membership grows.

I’m really enjoying these conversations here-- these are exactly the kinds of discussions the community is for.

You mean me personally? I use tech all the time, even when I have a choice. But I do think it’s important to consider the effects of the technology we let into our lives; particularly those effects that we don’t yet understand. I mean, that is kind of how we got into this global warming mess, right? I’m also more than a little sceptical of the idea that complex societies improve our lives.

But neoluddites and anarchoprimitivists are a diverse bunch with interesting and conflicting opinions, and I want to hear, debate, and meme about them all. Now they can unite under the slightly absurd yet oddly compelling banner of returning to monke.

If you are slinging shit around you might belong.

Well, the original luddites didn’t oppose all recent tech innovation, just the tech that made their lives worse. The Amish use tractors and air compressors. Similarly, maybe a neoluddite opposes AI but not the internet. Or maybe the actual primitivists aren’t in the community at all, and we use the space to talk about whether they should be and why or why not.

In point of fact this conversation we’re having now is a perfect example of discussing and critiquing return to monke, so you should post this there.

Or maybe you just want a place to shitpost a meme about the sweet irony of online primitivism.
