fuck you, coal fired steam boilers, and steam engines are one of the coolest, and most technologically impressive things we have ever done throughout history. Only topped by the deep space probes currently hurtling to the middle of nowhere spaceland.
IDK, you hear about sliced bread? It's pretty nice.
Nope. Good bread basically never comes in slices, and definitely not in the country that invented pre-sliced bread. You can get passable sliced bread in Germany but the good stuff definitely stays loaves at least until you buy it. I mean it's fine to slice it then and there if you have enough mouths to feed to have it finished by tomorrow.
slice bread is also pretty good. But that's nothing compared to what a steam engine can do given a bread slicer.
Presliced bread goes bad quicker and I also prefer a different slice thickness than what is usually offered. I don’t understand why it’s seen as such an achievement.
I used to bring up that Diane Feinstein was older than sliced bread to point out her age... but now it's hard to say she is older. Need a new politician to rag on.
Have You heard about portable outhouses? God's gift to humanity!
that and hit or miss engines
idk man, i hate combustion based engines. They're cringe and unfunny.
