its fucked up to me how, like, we as a humanity can forget how to make shit. like how the west forgot how to make glass or some shit for a while.

isnt that so fucked up
I blame the burning of the library of alexandria. The library probably had the answer to everything BUT THEY FUCKING BURNED IT DOWN AND THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS
