Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 11, 2022

And that’s right where our furry overlords want us.

And here I figured it was watching snake videos on our phones and putting videos online about anything we want on YouTube as long as it’s not nude porn.

I thought our highest achievement was reading over a hundred comics a day on my laptop.

That’s good enough for me.

And we can do it almost anywhere on earth.

TBF we haven’t blown ourselves up yet either, so it’s maybe a wash.

My peak achievement? Making music with my armpit. Might drop an album soon hehe

Paleolithic age (rough stone tech). Mesolithic age (middle stone age). Neolithic age (new stone age – polished stones). Chalcolithic age (copper is cool, but expensive so stone tech still around). Bronze age (hey, add tin to that copper and the results are amazing – and very expensive) Iron age (iron is inferior to bronze in everything except price, but it is cheap as hell and takes over). Remember, different societies reach different levels of tech at different times. No standardization of terminology after the iron age. Tom Standage did history of civilization by drink… The Beer Age, Wine Age, Distilled Liquor Age, Tea Age, Coffee Age, and now the Soda Age.

We snark on twitter.

Eat your hearts out, advanced civilizations.

I prefer puppy antics, but to each his own.

Actually I prefer reading Brewster Rocket comics on mine…

That tech stuff is all well and good. What I wanna know is, can you still get Tang in space?

Those other civilizations don’t even have cats, so there!

“… and those OTHER civilizations are quite jealous.”

Take a look at “Pouncer takes care of business” on YouTube. Just for fun.

Back in Days of Yore, Times of Olde, the 1970s, the concept of watching cat videos on a phone was not even science fiction, it would have been rank madness or a “Pizza Dream”.

I’m laughing so hard I’m crying. Or maybe I’m just crying.
