TIL that door knobs made out of brass automatically disinfect themselves in about 8 hours through the oligodynamic effect

via reddit.com

Fascinating. Good post.

Silver does this also, which was probably handy for silverware before antibacterial dish soap was invented.

That’s mentioned in the article as well. They also stated that a copper or silver container can disinfect a pot of water in a few hours. im gonna add a copper vessel to my emergency provisions now. @yourunclejingo you may find this stuff interesting too.

Its almost like our ancestors did shit that made sense even if they didn’t always fully understand why.

So what I’m getting from this is that bacteria is fairies

the greatest skill a woman can learn for herself is self reliance

to clarify … so many strong women in my life rely on men. that dependence is dangerous. ladies here are some good ref resources I’ve found helpful on my journey towards self reliance

automobile

plumbing

electrical

home

this list is in no way comprehensive feel free to add on

a lot of ‘man things’ are a lot easier than you think they are. especially considering the fact that most of these things when buying the parts come with directions on the packaging that men usually don’t even look at (and often end up doing it wrong because they were taught by fathers who also did not look at the packaging). 

like i recently had to change my car battery and freaked out cause i thought id electrocute myself but turns out new batteries come with directions and its the easiest shit in the world so long as you can lift the damn thing. 

so yeah, ladies dont ever feel like a man is a necessity for life, you can do this shit on your own its easier than you think!  

You can learn nearly anything from youtube; they have instructional videos for anything imaginable. 

I learned to spin and make baskets there, as well as put up drywall, mud and sand it, install windows, and roof. Am currently watching pottery and flint knapping tutorials. 

it’s no joke, YouTube is the self-education utopia libraries wanted way back when it was less feasible to have a big repository of video clip how-tos. however: always cross-examine like two sources to be sure you’re getting info that isn’t viral simply bc its funny how wrong it is. i fix literally everything i own using YouTube including fine electronics

Apparently the dude who runs the crematorium is just fundamentally confused about how advertising works.
He actually thought that the way you made an ad was you found a picture that got people’s attention … and then also included information about your company.
He was genuinely surprised and baffled when people thought there was any relationship between the (independently nonsensical) captioned image and his cremation business.
There were two more ads in the series that are equally, just… so much…
