  • South America has the equivalent level of technology to wherever you come from so no. You wouldn't be different enough to change any civilizational paradigms. For a less strawmanny example, if you moved to another country tomorrow and revealed the secrets to clean, unlimited power and used techniques and methods to do so that were far outside of our current understanding of physics then maybe you would be.

  • Yes, if those people are technologically so advanced as to be indistinguishable from wizards. In Graham Hancocks mythology, these people brought the secrets of agriculture and advanced maths to indigenous peoples around the world. A lot of his evidence for this comes from ancient religious texts and artifacts. So, if these people are so advanced that they are worshiped by the natives I think it's fair to say he is describing a super race.

  • Did that 1950s husband work his ass off or could he afford a home, car and family on wage at about ~40 hrs a week? Maybe both, but, having been and known people, I doubt people worked harder back then. The switch from black and white to color did not change human nature.

  • The "joy" or whatever doesn't have to be "Everything is great!" It can also be "Shit sucks but maybe we can get a coalition together to fix it. " Just hoping things can be better gives people joy. Like going to church and stuff

  • It's really wild. Even in my own life we watched each of the first six seasons over and over while waiting for new ones. By the end of it I felt no need. I barely remember how it ended and have no desire to watch it. Kind of sucks, I think I'm right in that age bracket that it was a big deal for. No lasting impact. Like Avatar

  • I worked in the ED for a decade and this is very true. Avocado injuries might be the most common non allergic good injury. I do mine like this guy says. Usually 3 or 4 a day. I only use butter knives to cut them and the wacking the seed still works. I then take the knife and make either slices or grids in the fruit while it is in the peel and use a spoon to scoop out the pre cut flesh

  • I went through something similar and had my blender sitting for a while. Then I had kids and decided to get on the smoothie train again.

    What I found regarding blandness was never add ice, never add water. Use whole milk or heavy cream or half and half. Unflavored yogurt is good and tastes like fruit when blended with frozen fruit. Bananas turn into a smooth thick liquid when blended. Frozen Bananas are often recommended but don't help texture as much.

    To summarize, frozen fruit is already bland and cold, don't add water or ice. Skim milk is water for this use case so avoid it.
