“Contract management”, I think it’s called.
You hire the services of one factory or laboratory to do your manufacture and packaging, another company for distribution and marketing, another for accounting, etc. You can build a good-sized company with one employee: You, the owner.

Yeah but it’s gonna scramble your signal, then send it spinning outwards.
Here’s a good band name for ya:
Los Nahuatls
One time many years ago, I was at a beach right by the town of Maruata in the state of Michoacán, was extremely surprised and intrigued when I was told that the people of that town spoke Nahuatl as their second language, when everywhere else in the surrounding region spoke Tarasco as their second language.
If I had to speculate, I’d say Maruata was founded as an Aztec outpost at some point in time, then when the Tenochtitlán fell, they were left to their own devices, on their own. It has to be something like that, right? Fascinating little cultural/historical footnote, in any case.
Now flip it around, to see if there’s parity:
Is San Diego the Cincinnati of the West Coast?
Hi, my name is Timmy Atom and this is my pet electron, &uckease.
DFWTDNA
(don’t fuck with the dna)
Does sound like some kind of duo.
Comedy duo maybe?
Psych Hop, aka Psychedelic Hip Hop… is that even a thing?
What is this, Schrödinger’s dog, or something?
“How many years is that?”
“At least THIS many.” (holds up 4 Knuth’s arrow notations fingers)
Such mirth. The likes of which the world has never seen.
The people who built the stone towns of Gobekli Tepe and Carahan Tepe in Anatolia in Turkey, built and lived their villages so long ago, that the very first historical civilization recognized as such, with cities and writing - the ancient Sumerians - are closer to us in time than to those hunter/gatherer people, who lived near the Atlas Taurus Mountains foothills and the rivers and tributaries that eventually merge into the Eufrates further downstream.
What about the year TREE(3)?
What about rickettsia, then?
Or how about stealth covid, never any of the full-blown symptoms, never came out positive on any test, but something somewhere along the way subtly flipped and now things ain’t the way they used to be, these damn kids nowadays with their Ohio and skibidi and GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
I mean this in the best possible way, with utmost admiration:
This feels like a classic Tintin cartoon panel.
Ah yes… the ol’ Planck approach, I like it!
peanut rubber for WWII
Ok, it sounds like you’re making shit up, although I know it’s true.
There was also hemp oil and hemp rope, used extensively in planes and ships. Then it got criminalized (or re-criminalized, I forget) right after the war ended. Gotta keep those Dupont execs rolling in the patents money, amirite!
Still, this is some gourmet Willy Wonka fantasy material.
Has a comic/manga made GWC into a steampunk superhero scientist yet?
If it was just one language and writing system as a choice, I might say Japanese.
There are so many different characters in their writing as symbols instead of phonetic sounds, that bookstores in Japan are divided into sections, in which one has books that use… say 500 characters, then another section with books that use 1200 characters, or 5000, or 10,000, or more!
To read Japanese or Chinese with a mastery of over 10,000 symbols might be my choice. The richness and depth of those writings must be something incredible.
My second choice, for shits ‘n’ giggles, might be something like Sumerian or Akkadian, in the original Cuneiform!
