Vietnam was even more fucked up than I thought.

Reply to comment by batsofburden in There's been tens of thousands of generations of humans, yet even those just 3 generations back are already forgotten by most living humans. by batsofburden
My cousins from both sides of my family and my dad and I have been working on a deep ancestry.com family tree. You can upload pics, news articles, obituaries, bios etc. With some time and teamwork, it's been a great experience learning about the people that you only ever met a few times at weddings and funerals. They all had a story and it's great to put that all together.

Not super sure it includes lives already lived, but the thought of the complexity of every individual living their own life is called "sonder"

He does own a fast-food restaurant. All that fried food has got to be carcinogenic.

Okay, but at least 10,000 and tens of thousands are very different things.

So many redditor pedants missing the actual point of this post. Also, if you look it up, there's been at least 10,000 generations of humans.

Reply to comment by Tuxxbob in Humen is a more logical plural to human than humans. It’s men and women, not mans and womans. by frenglish_man
I’m glad I did not take French. No hate at all, but I’ve heard it can be difficult.

Also the word humen just looks off. It’s also pronounced so similar to human that when saying it quickly you’d barely notice the difference.

i propose we add "aught-eez" to the english vernacular

I’d say his shell isn’t red due to the fact he was boiled, but instead that it is due to the fact that he is most likely a red ghost crab.

Achktually it’s technically a lobster pot. Most old crab pots are cylinders with holes on either end

Evolutionarily modern humans have existed for 180,000-200,000 years. So, for the absolute minimum value of 'tens' (20, 2 tens) that would require each generation to be 9-10 years.

I was just the first. (Maybe. I haven't checked the archives.) And now maybe the next person won't because I already did.

As an English speaker, that just seems weird as hell to me lol. Why talk to other people as if they aren't there?
