Scientist bakes sourdough bread with yeast derived from 4500 year old Egyptian pottery

i'm losing my mind @ this thread......historie......

also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.

oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated he then revealed that the original xbox logo...

is a sourdough boule

this clip from make some noise s1e8 with oscar montoya and brennan lee mulligan is the only super mario bros content i care about personally

brennan lee mulligan has the greatest superpower: the unlimited ability to make an absolutely off-the-cuff monologue and then follow it up with the ultimate turnaround. he can share the power with others

but credit also needs to be firmly planted in the hands of oscar for hearing the prompt say "dramatic video game cutscene" and then going "got it, mario and luigi."

Yours is a long road, my friend, and it stretches on to places beyond imagining.

With your every step, these grand adventures shall grow more distant and faint.

And there may come a day when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way.

On that day, I bid you remember this…

That no matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there.

For in times of hardship, when you fear you cannot go on…

The joy you have known, the pain you have felt, the prayers you have whispered and answered - they shall ever be your strength and your comfort.

This I hope - I believe, here at memory’s end.

unfortunately dnd podcasts have already peaked, specifically in 2015 when griffin mcelroy named an npc “garfield the deals warlock” but forgot to describe how he looked in the slightest so the entire collective fandom decided it was just straight up garfield the orange cat

Have you REALLY lost your scissors if you aren't walking around making scissor motions with your fingers in an attempt to lure them back out?

Something must be wrong with me, I haven't talked about the beadnet dress in forever.

It consists of seven thousand faience beads in blue green and blue to imitate turquoise and lapis lazuli. It is 4600 years old (the threading is modern, but the beads were found in their original pattern so this reconstruction is as accurate as it can be). It is one of the most gorgeous garments in existence and was owned by a woman who was a contemporary of king Khufu.

yeah gonna assume their dynamic will be,, something like this

I’m super excited to be a part of a dnd campaign run by my friend! Here is my first initial design for my Tiefling Nature Cleric, Aurora!
