I wonder why anyone would put this in their mouth.
same, they are going to break their jaw trying to bite the great wall of china
Because they like it?
would
Ok, let’s rephrase the question: “When did humans stop creating nice wonders?”
We didn’t. We just stopped paying attention because there’s so much other bullshit going on, some wonders became too commonplace, and other wonders were created by people we don’t like.
Commonplace wonders are no longer wonders though, they should be wonderful relative to contemporaneous creations.
Commonplace wonders are no longer wonders though,
I wholeheartedly reject that worldview. Life is just so much better when you can still see the wonder in things you pass by every day.
Old wonders: I wonder how they did that?
New wonders: I wonder why they did that?“What the fuck were they thinking” for both, but with a different tone.
It’s pretty self evident that we have not, and we are striving to continue to do so. One must simply pull themselves out of their misanthropic worldview to see it.
We build probably hundreds of buildings every year that would have been a world wonder if they had been built a thousand years ago.
It’s a wonder alright. I wonder why anyone would voluntarily eat it
Okay lemme ask “when did humans stop being sane?”
When we stopped being hunter gatherers.
Never were.
Blasphemy. If there were a hell, you’d burn in it.

Looks terrible, I’d try it.
You’d need to try it just to say you did. You’d spend your whole life wondering otherwise.
Everything is just built to be the most utilitarian, and more importantly cheaply built, they can be now. Something that kicked off the lack of beauty in our architecture was a paper written by Adolf Loos in around 1913 called “Ornament and Crime”. Naturally, the arguments he made were nearly all rooted in racism
Loos introduced a sense of the “immorality” of ornament, describing it as “degenerate”, its suppression as necessary for regulating modern society. He took as one of his examples the tattooing of the “Papuan” and the intense surface decorations of the objects about him—Loos says that, in the eyes of western culture, the Papuan has not evolved to the moral and civilized circumstances of modern man, who, should he tattoo himself, would either be considered a criminal or a degenerate.
The tattoo comparison has kind of aged like milk, considering the popularity of tattoos nowadays.
And though the average building may be a drab box these days, we have built towers that are so tall, that 1 km in height no longer seems like pure science fiction. If those super tall skyscrapers don’t count as wonders, what would?
Have you people even seen a pizza menu in Japan?
Oh yeah, gimme dat corn, mayo, potato with option of shrimp or squid on it baybeeee! 😋
The object in the picture is a monument to man’s hubris.
The other one is a border wall.
All of a sudden, I understand at a fundamental level the hate others have for pineapple on pizza.
Are those kiwi slices mini nuclear reactors?
I thought they were banana slices. Kiwi would be even more cursed, which I didn’t think was possible. Either way, kind of it to warn us of the danger it poses! Biohazard symbols might be more appropriate though.
