  • Some people get mad when u tell them not to shop on amazon, they talk about it being the only viable option for them since they live so far from actual stores and whatnot.

    This got me wondering how were these people feeding and clothing themselves 10 years ago? (Or before the advent of amazon grocery shopping, idk how long it’s been and I’m very bad at keeping track of time).

    I’m genuinely curious about this, if someone has an answer please tell me.












  • From the Wikipedia article:

    "Although the okapi was unknown to the Western world until the 20th century, it may have been depicted since the early fifth century BCE on the façade of the Apadana at Persepolis, a gift from the Ethiopian procession to the Achaemenid kingdom.

    For years, Europeans in Africa had heard of an animal that they came to call the African unicorn."

    Seems to suggest that though elusive, it was pretty well know in the region.

    Thanks for making me learn stuff.
