There was once a guy who was not really my type but then he did drag and was suddenly wildly attractive to me. And since I’m bisexual it doesn’t give me a crisis when someone is suddenly hot to me in an unconventional way. I used to think this was particularly a bi experience.

thing whose humour has aged poorly

thing whose humour was honestly kind of shit even when it was new, but you were too young to pick up the subtext

thing that was life-changing in its exact contemporary circumstances and incomprehensible outside of them

thing that's an inferior knock-off of a different thing

thing that's actually an unwitting conflation of poorly remembered fragments of several other things

thing that moves anyone you show it to to remark that it explains some things about you

thing where revisiting it prompts a profound sense of alienation as you realise it's no longer relatable to you

thing where revisiting it prompts a jarring revelation that this is probably why you have that one specific kink

This is a incredibly rare find. A ball of yarn made from stinging nettle fibers in the Late Neolithic (5900 years old) in what’s now Marin-Epagnier in Switzerland. The thread has been preserved by being carbonized. Look at how much thread that is! And how fine and even it is spun! The skill going into this is absolutely incredible. Imagine the incredible textile work that must’ve been made with that. For a reference here’s a ball of nettle yarn I managed to make with a drop spindle. That took me 300 hours of work.

They’re pretty sure there were two stilt houses that caught on fire and collapsed into a peat bog and the peat bog preserved everything.
