1·2 days agoScuba or snorkeling – diving leads to spear fishing.
It helps to have modern elastics to make a riffle like spear gun. When under water, big fish are easy game. You’ll see them easily in the ocean and reasonably well in large rivers and lakes too. With rivers and lakes you can just noodle with large catfish. If you reach into holes and cervices, catfish will bite your hand. It is more like sucking. You just pull them up, no tackle or equipment needed.
Without modern elastics, any bow or torsion based energy storage system would work to make a crossbow like action. I could easily flake a rock to make a crude knife, and fashion something out of some sticks.
I would probably struggle most with my chemistry using organics I find in nature. I know stuff like the best bows are recurved with composite wood. Ultimately, I am loosely aware of the innovations of Watts with the pressure regulation of a steam engine. I know how to make bloom iron. And I know the basics of indirect heating and atmospheric control of the Bessemer process. Additionally, I am aware that the key to lathe precision is a heavy base, and that a lathe screw lead is able to cut a more accurate lathe screw lead, and eventually achieve any machine precision desired. Prussian blue or any dye based pigment, is used with a special thick chisel to hand scrape metal flat. Magnetite is the primary ore for iron. Steel is all about precision control over the carbon content. Heating calcium carbonate is super handy. Boxite requires chemistry to get to the aluminum. High voltage arcs across electrodes in air will make nitric acid, but guano is the most accessible form of nitrates at smaller scales. Potatoes are the most important food source to scavenge.
A general deep curiosity and willingness to explore are the key personality traits. I love learning at a fundamental level where I actually understand stuff. I am not all that bright, just a jack of all trades type person where I have a very broad set of skills and understanding of the world. I’m a swiss army knife – all the tools, but the world’s shittiest scissors.

8·2 days agoI’m pretty good at hunting and gathering. Back before my broken neck and back, I was super into wanting to buy some remote place in the Appalachians and pseudo homestead. I have messed with many of the required skills. I wanted a place in the mountains with a year round creek for a water wheel, building a foundry and forge, along with a manual machine shop. I was into what I could do using junk from pick-a-part type junk yards. People often only think of parts for whatever low end car, but if you actually have a fundamental understanding of cars and the various technologies in different applications, a junk yard gives tremendous access to industrial technology for many types of machines and equipment. Junk yards are not setup for that kind of thing either. A little bit of flattery and flirting with a cashier goes a very long way when none of the collection of parts on your cart have legitimate prices on the menu.
Even with my disability now, I could probably survive in the wild by trapping game and some minor gardening if the population was low enough and I was in a decent location compared to where/when I live now in the era of the 50 year mortgage fuckwit dystopia.

3·3 days agoIf the redneck psycho of Rome was not getting death threats at any point in her political asylum jaunt, I would be very surprised.
Everything about her… She was engineered from her uncle’s dna because of his chemistry with Leto. She was like an abstract layer to the argument about the validity of prescience. Like was it imagined hubris and overconfidence or was it real. He did not see her coming, and yet she still fit perfectly into a plan that just happened to work out… or was it just random chance and a tyrant monster.

The worst worst is the stuff that never numbs. It does not seem possible that such a thing exists. All pain you have ever known eventually goes numb… until something doesn’t in perpetual november.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your meta thought process like when drawing your own handwriting?English
1·4 days agoSome people have a more steady hand than others. Like I can do professional sign lettering, but it is super difficult and slow for me to do because I do not have very steady hands.
I can paint stuff like candies (dye based paints that get infinitely darker with overlapping), and pearls, that are both shot basically blind by intuition and muscle memory, but I cannot see hand written lettering and what I want to project onto the page, in advance of actually drawing it. I’m more like a bushwhacker with a machete most of the time.
Ah, most here have been around 1984 when people get to talking and sharing. In socials, we tend to group together in strange unintentional ways like this.
Dogma is scary blind.
I can’t even begin to explain how long I let the duality of religion fester with reality before I was motivated to action. To tell the truth, it was primarily the lack of quality friends and people to talk to about my curiosities and interests more than it was any epiphany of logic. I knew the facts and reality but the partition did not care in the slightest. The only way to change someone like that is being openly welcoming and accepting; to be a better tribe to join.










Likely projecting out of self loathing. Probably here navigating cognitive dissonance from conflict on some layer of sexuality outside of their immediate self awareness.
It is okay dear. You’ll get there eventually.
