from a fiction standpoint, you’d probably want to use this in some character having a vision or hallucination. maybe have some crazy religios leader relating it. this is some revelations level stuff!

I could also imagine it as a vision provoked by contact with some kind of Lovecraftian thing.

that’s pretty amazing. if you do anything creative, like art, writing, video games, etc you should try to do something with it.

I think you should have to pick a year and hope for the best. otherwise it’s no different then choosing some fantasy past like ‘medieval times, but non violent and progressive, and no plagues.’

Nothing matters to reality. “Mattering” is a human judgement. “Fact” is also a human judgement. The things you have in your head that you call facts and opinions are both the same kind of thing. We consider the ones that model reality effectively to be facts. They are all opinions and discerning which we classify as facts is an ongoing process.

I did not say opinions are fact. And I am not saying that opinions change reality. But your assertions about what facts and opinions are is incorrect.

If you describe an opinion as right or wrong, you are talking about the opinion’s relation to reality. And opinions certainly do have such relation.

Washing in hard water can make cotton feel rougher.

Also when cotton is damp, like if you sweat much, it tends to be abrasive. That is why hikers say ‘cotton kills’ and recommend you stay away from it in favor of wool or synthetic ‘technical’ fabrics.

Many types of fiber are prebiotic, that is, they can make your gut biome health better.

Meth?

If you are willing to grind your own grain, whole grains can be stored in plastic buckets for years without spoiling. You’ve probably got to like whole grain stuff, sifting to get white flour is a pain.

Some of the bags contained older men with dirty necks?

How do you communicate this with math? Makes the Italian chin flick gesture.
