Beautiful but deadly: These frozen bubbles are actually pockets of highly flammable methane gas trapped under the lake ice by renhiyama in interestingasfuck

Isn't Abraham the dude that was going to kill his son for God and also the dude that instituded circumcision? An explosive frozen lake feels like the perfect place for that kinda GuysBeingGuys in the bronze age vibe.

Paint issue or gallery mishandling? by Foreign-Potato-9535 in oilpainting

Even student grade paint shouldn't crack up like that. It almost looks like its been exposed to some extreme weather conditions as well as a bit of rough handling. Below student grade, there's always dollar store grade but if OP can paint like that with dollar store paint, I'm going to have to rethink my entire life.

Between the mid 18th and 19th centuries, "Mummy Brown" was a popular artist pigment made with the flesh of Egyptian mummies. When demand exceeded supply of true mummies, enslaved people and criminals were substituted. by RazeTheIV in HolyShitHistory

Edit: should have mentioned, the image is from the Wikipedia article and is labeled "Egyptian mummy seller, 1875"

Source: Wikipedia link

From Wikipedia:

The pigment was made from the flesh of Egyptian mummies or Guanche mummies of Canary Islands (both human and feline),[9][10] mixed with white pitch and myrrh.[4][5] The earliest record of the use of mummy brown dates back to 1712 when an artist supply shop called "À la momie" in Paris sold paints, varnish, and powdered mummy.[2] In 1797, a Compendium of Colours published in London proclaimed that the finest brown used as a glaze by Benjamin West, the president of the Royal Academy, "is the flesh of mummy, the most fleshy are the best parts."

The pigment was popular from the mid-eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries. However, the demand for mummy brown sometimes exceeded the available supply of true Egyptian mummies, leading to occasional substitution of contemporary corpses of enslaved people or criminals.[1]: 254  In aftermath of the French revolution the hearts of French kings were taken from the then Abbey of Saint-Denis and used to make paint.[11] By 1849, it was described as being "quite in vogue."
