    okay but the only thing you'd be able to grow is lettuce and herbs. It's nice saving the amount of space those take up I suppose, but it's not a farming revolution either

    Vertical farming is believed to be the future of agriculture because it allows people to grow crops in upright trays and save precious land space for other human activities.

    uhhh this sentence is wrong but yea
    the least damaging "human activity" on land would be some type of traditional farming, the only thing "less damaging" than that would be letting it return to wilderness, which is not a human activity

    Yes I have. The genes don't bear it out.

    Brahmin ideology stems from the Indo-Aryans of Punjab. And thus the prevalence of Indo-Aryan genes and Indo-Aryan paternal markers tells a very important story.

    Brahmins across India, even in Tamil Nadu, are very genetically similar, but have very different paternal markers. The ratio of Indo-Aryan paternal markers is much higher in Bengali and other Gangetic Brahmins (72%) than in Gujarati and Tamil Brahmins (27% and 40%). This is despite their actual Indo-Aryan ancestry being the same (20-25% for all Brahmins)

    What does this mean? It means that Brahmins in Gujarat were far more meritocratic and less racist, because they allowed intermarriage of foreign men into their ranks. Almost exactly half of their Indo-Aryan ancestry comes from Brahmin women. This also holds, but to a lesser extent, for the general West and South of India.

    Meanwhile in Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, the Brahmins were far more racist, and there is much more documented evidence of female infanticide (which still goes on today). The Gangetic belt of India also coincidentally happens to the poorest and most backward area of India.

    Their life was so cheap that a Brahmin could kill a dalit for no reason without repercussions. Even if a Brahmin committed mass murder the worst punishment they could get is to get their ponytail shaved.

    This is a northern/Gangetic thing

    Women also had no existence without men because of Sati.

    This is a northwestern thing, and was only practiced by royalty

    Caste discrimination in the Dravidian South existed, but was far less severe and had movements against it as far back as 500 AD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhakti_movement

    I watched it and it honestly is pretty cool, kinda catchy and funny and reminiscent of some steam orange box edit from 15 years ago The youtube comments are full of ~20 year olds complaining about it though (probably mostly ironically but still)

    Just verbal diarrhea a bunch of music/pop culture/politics stuff that YOU remember from these eras, or that you perceive as having been popular. And also correct mine if you think it's wrong somehow. I left a lot blank because I stopped paying attention to pop culture around 2015ish **1996-2000:** pokemon, CDs, walkmans, Goosebumps, backstreetboys, nsync, britney spears, eminem, nickelodeon, y2k, dotcom bubble, Blade, The Matrix, Monica Lewinsky, hanging chads, spongebob **2001-2005:** 9/11, iraq war, afghanistan, ipods, 50 cent, DVDs, smash bros. melee, xbox, Halo **2006-2010:** housing crash, Obama, Ron Paul, Taylor Swift/Kanye (both them getting popular and the VMA debacle), **2011-2015:** "birtherism"/Trump, 2012 Mayan prophecy, Vine, Twitter, Trump getting popular around 2015 **2016-2020:** **2021-now:**
