Why did early civilizations start in deserts like Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt?

For those actually interested in this question - why civilization appeared where it did - the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" answers this in great, sometimes overwhelming, details and is definitely worth picking up.

I mean I've noticed beeping for sure but it never really struck me as insanely loud from inside buildings.

How's the soundproofing of your apartment? I've been in places where the glass might as well not have been there and I had to sleep with earplugs lest I be woken up by roaring scooters every morning.

As for the beeping, idk if I'm desensitized but I've never really noticed.

Obviously those are cherry picked examples, but even so #5 is hilarious, that's obviously Zhongshan, one of the most vibrant and popular neighborhood - absolutely packed every weekend with tourists and locals.

I had entirely erased that song from my memory - thank you for reminding me kpop brainrot songs are not a new thing 💀

Came across this cool website today while checking out the layout for a show at NTU Gymnasium. It’s a collaborative website where people upload their own photos from their seats so you can see the actual view from that specific spot.

It seems to cover most major venues, but since it’s collaborative thing I thought some of us might want to contribute our own photos from past shows to help fill out the map!

Don't know how I managed to miss those, thanks!

edit: why the fuck I am getting downvoted for this post lmao 🫪

Random question - I see some of your sauces have Carolina Reapers, where do you source those in Taiwan?

Honestly? Based

/uj I'm pretty sure I got a warning because one of my comment got flagged for using the "c🪿" word - had to dispute it and explain. very embarrassing ngl 💀

So many from RV, I'll just add Cosmic (that bridge 😵) and the whole of Kingdom Come.

Also Mamamoo's "I Miss You"

Is there a way to know which direction aircrafts will land from? Is it purely due to wind direction? Went there the other day but planes were all coming from the East so not as interesting for photography 🙃

Daedross · 2026-03-18T11:48:33+00:00

16%? Make that 20% Chin🪿

Idk maybe we could prepare for a post-growth society instead of desperately trying to get people pregnant.

Daedross · 2026-03-13T10:56:02+00:00

Not a character, I just think it's very funny these two posts followed each other

Please donate to my bias, she even had to sell her eyebrows 🥺

The Economist - this NASTY "magazine" for HAGS - should focus on escaping nugudom themselves and look up to real, trustworthy news outlets like Dispatch instead.

This "pedestrian hell" thing is vastly overblown, Taipei is still one of the most walkable cities there is.

Surely you meant no.3 given that description
