i kind of wonder what technology was lost that we never rediscovered

not that i think they had some ancient supertechnology, more just, what tools did they have that accomplish tasks we do today in very different ways

@Felthry Oooh, really? /Neat./

@IceWolf have you seen the clickspring channel on youtube

an australian (i think?) guy has been working the past three years on making a working replica of it and analyzing all the tools and stuff that would have been used for it

@Felthry We have not! We basically never go to YouTube of our own accord, too much stimulation. :3

@IceWolf @Felthry this is extremely chill YouTube :)

@starkatt @IceWolf yeah if you know the right places to go to it's not overstimulating

stuff like clickspring, 3blue1brown, nilered, technology connections, techmoan

the kinds of people who make videos to share things they love, not to make money or anything

@Felthry @starkatt That's really good to know, thanks. (:

We might find it overstimulating regardless... have to check it out though!

I think it's just, like, the talking and the light and color and movement and everything... and possibly that we need to focus all our attention on the one thing or we miss stuff–

*breaks off, blinks, swishes tail thoughtfully*

@IceWolf @starkatt That worry about missing stuff is largely assuaged for us by the fact that you can use the j and l keys to immediately skip back and forth ten seconds at a time, to replay something you may have missed

@Felthry @starkatt Oh that's cool! Didn't know that was a thing. (:

@Felthry @starkatt @IceWolf clickspring, nilered, and technology connections are three of my absolute favorite channels! i don’t hear a lot of love for technology connections in particular so it’s nice to see that other people appreciate them!
