Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

Taking these screenshots from Facebook because they make you log in and won't let you copy and paste:

I don't want to say "What about the mens" On a wonderful post about liberating women from back breaking household chores, but mechanization also did help the men. Farm labor is intense, brutal work. A lot of people say that one or the other sexes had it worse, but the reality is: Both sexes had tasks that fucked them over. Washing on mondays for women, or spinning fiber from horrible plants that knicked and hurt the hands. Or tilling fields with unruly oxen, milking cows from literal dawn until dusk (Often also done by women.) butchering animals, tanning hides, carpentry work...the list goes on. Mechanization saved so much time, effort, and bodies. Be so thankful. I think it's great to experience how people did things, but it isn't some form of "Oh, it was so much better!" It's more of a "Wow. I'm so thankful for what I have now."

When I was younger I thought the black market was a physical place in the middle of a desert canyon somewhere, and the reason it was called that was because all the stalls used black fabric. I thought that human bones and brains in jars were sold there. I thought you could buy smuggled artifacts and stolen artwork from painters long dead. I thought that you could buy elephant ivory and endangered bird eggs. I thought that you could buy rhinoceros meat and wild chinchilla coats. I thought you could buy pirated copies of movies and hard drives full of government secrets. I kind of wanted to go, but I knew it was a terrible thing to ask. I wouldn’t have bought anything, I would have just liked to look.

When I was 10 I really wanted a baby tiger bc I was a stupid kid and I straight up typed blackmaket.com into Internet explorer.
