I just saw a video of the hundredth woman in space. Honestly just felt so bizzare that there's humans that have just .... left the planet. Thats insane.

Penicillin / antibiotics comes to mind. As well as vaccines. "Oh you're body is being taken over by millions of microscopic organisms? Take this pill and it will go away. Maybe take this shot too so it won't happen in the first place."

And of course computers + the internet were a pretty big boom too.

i travel constantly, and every time I'm flying in a plane i am re-amazed.

i think about how easy and quick it is to fly anywhere in the world and I'm sitting in a bit metal tube floating in the air.

it's bananas.

Urinating. Christ, there's no greater feeling of having a pee when you need to.

I know a lot of you are thinking about orgasm, but the thing is that's more of a luxury than an urgent need. You can live your life without, and not really feel you need to.

Also, water. How fucking great and refreshing is a glass of water.

I love this show. A historian looks at how one change can spread out and affect many different things.
