I’m fairly sure that at this point pirating has been shown to lead to increased sales, even of small scale productions.

Also, no one said that people can’t keep the rights for a while, just that if you don’t let people access those things you don’t get to prosecute them for making the art available.

No, (though depends on your definition of art) but there’s a reason that public buildings (Churches, for instance) were often the best decorated with murals, frescoes, and statues.

Also within local communities there would be musicians and artisans who were known for their work.

That said, art did become more privatised once the 17th century rolled around. Obviously varied by geographic regions, etc. (e.g. Artist items (amongst other items of worth) were deliberately shared out by many American Indian groups in potlatches as acts of redistribution.)

… I don’t like gravy, or poorly readable charts.

I also thought that there were support sperm who basically just help other sperm reach the egg.

Isn’t this fairly disproven by science now and sperm fertilising an egg is now seen as more of a group effort?

The loss of roaming territory to the sedentary oppressors might also have something to do with the transition.

I get you’re being facietious, but it’s more like chimps are monkeys in about the same way a hammerhead shark and a lungfish are different.

At the beginning of each upkeep, lose two life and draw 2 sodas.

I’ll say it: milipedes are cute.

While centipedes are fine, I’ve always been much more of a milipede fan.

My favourite is the one where they use bananas as proof of God. (Always boring monothiests, too…

Depends on where in the world, but most dating systems were reginal, that is what year of what monarch/pharaoh/emperor’s reign.

They haven’t even found more than two factors, one of which is one, for any prime number, either.

Get it together, Mathematicians.

The problems of quality with mass agriculture corn that has enough might to have lobbying power to influence regulatory policy aren’t solved by growing your own corn that you can regulate and control the cultivar and farming methods?

Maths - Blue Physics - IDFK, red? Purple? Chemistry - A different Blue Biology - Green Geography - Orange… or Green again.

That analogy makes more sense. Thanks for sticking with me.

I still don’t get the online people who talk about Entropy as if it is some force that dooms things, but I do better understand the basic physics I think. Thanks.

But… Also while I get it was an analogy, human action like launching probes into space is pretty entropic. All that stuff was ordered in a solid glove orbiting a star, and now it’s been all jumbled up into a bizzare state and flung way away from it’s place of order. So life itself is a high entropy way of generating low entropy?

But isn’t that balance a more ordered state?

I’m sorry about any implied sentience, obviously Entropy isn’t a thing with an agenda. Though I do feel the need to point out that our sun is far too small to go supernova.

Yes, that’s the stuff and it’s brilliant raw or cooked!

Not sure about this odd tween-spoonerism name, but catchier than asparagus lettuce for sir. E

My favourite part is all the replies claiming that their answer to it is correct and it’s not at all controversial.

Which is funny because to a mathsless individual like me it proves how true the post is.
