To develop written language after spoken language came about. Seriously, guys. We don’t even get pictographs til it’s nearly modern day, but spoken language is right after we get upright.
“To decide it was OK to bring a dish to the table in the same vessel in which it was cooked” How is this one winning? I don’t even understand what this means.
@Al_Coholic - Once upon a time there WAS no Little Griddle ANYWARE Nonstick Ceramic Backwall Griddle you could just take directly from stove to table. It was a dark, dark age.
@SSteve Go to some restaurants in Cambodia. My kid said Cambodians are smart. They are tricking rich people into paying a lot of money to eat what poor people have to eat (I can tell you how to cook a variety of bugs including spiders of which she says they are no good; in this country we have chicken - on the other hand apparently crickets taste OK). LOL
@Kidsandliz@SSteve Nutria in New Orleans, same deal. It’s a variety of giant rat imported for the fur trade. When fur stopped being popular, the Nutria bred out of control and started doing major damage to the environment. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries asked chefs around the state in 2001 to prepare nutria in a variety of ways, in hopes of sparking interest in the under-used meat. You see nutria on menus in New Orleans.
These pretty much all make sense. Who’d eat bugs when there are alternatives, we’ve always had pots on the table, there were other ways to get cans open…
But the glorious toe shoes. Those should have come sooner. Why am I always wearing feet mittens. Is this why social progress is so stunted?
Not only is it acceptable to bring a dish to the table in the same vessel in which it was cooked, you can skip the table altogether and eat straight out of the vessel in which it was cooked!
Just use a plastic fork if it’s a non-stick vessel in which it was cooked.
Tables and other dishes are just a waste of money that could be used to buy a bidet for everyone in the world, for cleaning up after digesting a meal that was eaten from the vessel in which it was cooked.
@afullbeard@karamazovsdevil So… You can grow your food in an appropriate porcelain vessel, cook it in that vessel, then eat it from the vessel, and later eliminate into the very same vessel. That could then fertilize the next round of yummy vessel victuals. And round and round we go…!
To realize the batteries should really be stored in the fridge. Despite facts.
All of the above…well except for the toe shoes.
To attach bidets to toilet seats instead of wiping our nethers with dry paper.
@NapkinEater and to make the water warm
To create this poll.

@Seeds Ha ha ha, what a total piece of shit!
Why hasn’t this been for sale on meh?

To make gay marriage legal. Like, wtf.
@JoetatoChip that was done in Greece more than 3 thousand years ago, and then Italy spanked them.
I hope I’m dead before bugs (other than sea-bugs like lobster and crab) are a regular thing in restaurants.
@SSteve Makes more sense than toe-shoes.
@PocketBrain @SSteve those feet-shoes are creepy

@lehigh Bottle dots are being phased out in some parts of the country.

They are being replaced with other bumpy bumps, though.
Danged spellcheck. Bott’s dots.

@afullbeard And if you use the right sized porcelain vessel, the dish can be used as a bidet after your meal. Reusable, not to mention tasty!

@afullbeard @shahnm yes, apparently tables and serving dishes are but a speed bump in the circle of life.
