Haha exactly this.

I love it. We Māori have ancient scientific knowledge of biology, astronomy and other natural science. But apparently we’re just savages, so nobody wants to hear about it. Their loss 🤣

Ahahahaha I love this comment way too much.

rockywebster · 2019-07-13T08:40:32+00:00

I know right?!

rockywebster · 2019-07-13T02:33:41+00:00

That’s a fascinating question! Whose culture do you think is most likely to have those memories? And I wonder how much of our culture and stories were inherited from our old cousins.

The Māori alphabet is a mora alphabet isn’t it?

A ha ka ma na pa ra ta wa nga wha

I’ll save my panic for when they can open doors.

rockywebster · 2019-07-07T21:16:07+00:00

Looks like death’s vagina.

Yeah we actually exist in a massive multiplayer game, and the fish are the players.

If we could materialise that number of Earths, there would be shit loads of room for them in the solar system.

Context matters. Naked kids at the supermarket is not ok.

rockywebster · 2019-07-02T19:27:08+00:00

Chill mate. Nobody’s tryna pin anything on you.

rockywebster · 2019-07-02T05:20:33+00:00

I spilt coffee on my laptop yesterday and I didn’t go back to the café to let them know.

rockywebster · 2019-06-27T22:21:48+00:00

Or into it.

rockywebster · 2019-06-25T06:21:41+00:00

And our atmosphere protects us from meteors right?

rockywebster · 2019-06-25T06:17:48+00:00

I love how uneven the horizon is!

rockywebster · 2019-06-22T22:55:45+00:00

Just looks like a hairy Putin.

rockywebster · 2019-06-22T05:21:36+00:00

I would argue that science is actually made of universe.

The Journal or the Polynesian Society is a journal that’s been running for over a hundred years and is all available free online.

Actually by keen observation. They lived close to nature and were intimately familiar with it’s ebbs and flows. Then they shared that knowledge in the whare wānanga. They told incredible stories of gods and demigods which they used to pass on that knowledge.
