It’s hard to call it an “addiction” because our bodies require fats to live.

Personally I’m also addicted to drinking water and breathing air, I guess.

I should have been more specific when I said metallurgy; I’m talking about turning ore to metal via smelting, and then alloying those metals with other metals to make useable materials for tools and weapons.

There’s no evidence that smelting existed in any capacity in the precolombian Americas.

I agree, which is why they were never developed. There was no need, due to the twisty mountain paths and thick jungle.

Also without tool metallurgy or a practical wheel and axle.

They worked gold, and they had little wheeled toys for kids, but they never figured out copper/bronze/iron or wheeled vehicles.

Nah the “sport” of wrestling is a joke, but it’s far more popular (and therefore profitable) than association football in the US, which is the world’s largest economy.

Makes me wonder what the list of famous musicians who died at 26 or 28 looks like.

Right, but you know they’re just going to wire this into every soldier’s brain instead.

Oh, so this cloud used to be pee.

Is this how it works there, or how it works where you are?
