  • We probably should decide how much conflict we want to imagine happening here lol.

    Wars from the 1700s-1800s (a couple hundred years ago from today) just aren’t thought about much during my regular daily life, but none of those were global catastrophes right.

    So if we can manage to avoid major nuclear destruction, then it could be pretty tame after 300 years!

    Assuming we don’t all destroy each other, then we mostly keep our knowledge base, so we don’t need to restart from a basic agrarian culture lol. Someone saved wikipedia right??

    There will still be an unbelievable amount of losses from starvation alone, so we’re definitely restarting the population from small communities.

    But 300 years of repopulation, and 300 years battery research might actually get us to something approaching the early 1900s again! (Around the 1930s is when about half of American households had electricity.) Cities are possible, we start getting back into shipping between countries or continents. If we add internet into this mix, we get even further!

    Honestly, if we’re talking about hundreds of years (and humans don’t self-destruct) then I actually think we don’t get set back too far on the grand scheme of things lol.


  • I vote both!

    There’s a lot of situations where shared bikes are a great idea, so to me that’s a default “Yes!” answer lol.

    But my own bike can be better suited to my needs and preferences, so that also becomes a “Yes!” to me too lol. For example, I usually prefer my bike’s seat to the ones on shared bikes.

    But! If I’ve walked to my friend’s house, and we get invited to a game across town, I’ll gladly pick up a shared bike rather than detour home lol.


  • I love your question! I think these words are examples of a trochee!

    In English poetic metre and modern linguistics, a trochee (/ˈtroʊkiː/) is a metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.

    It’s usually easy to recognize a word that’s a trochee because it’ll sound like kids TV show title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Power Ranger Mega Turtles lol.

    In this case, it’s trochaic dimeter because there’s two trochees. “LET’S-go RAN-gers!” You may have heard of iambic pentameter, somehow that one always seems popular to people. Well an iamb is just the reverse of a trochee, and pentameter means you’d put five of them on each line.

    Now that you know what trochees are, you’re gonna see 'em everywhere. Or maybe that’s just me lol.

    Edit: For extra fun, what do you think is going on with the clapping afterwards? I feel like we’re doing something with this at the end, but it’s late and I should go to sleep hahah. Good luck!
