I bring meta for the @tolkiencrackweek !
So I was thinking about how hobbits spend their time; it's canon that they like to do activities that don't require a great effort or that basically consist in eating. Except some essential workers like farmers.
However, in a society with such a lack of technical advances how do they get time to do such things. Something had to made their life easier. And how do hobbits live so well in a medieval landscape inside their Hobbit hole?
They invented home appliances. They had mixers, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, microwaves...
How did they find them? They don't know, what's most curious about the hobbits is that they take things for granted and don't wonder where they came from or what else to do with them. So they have that technology, they use it every day but they don't remember who made them or who found it bet my money it was a Took and they don't care. They could apply that technology to build nuclear weapons, and they don't care. They are happy with what they have because thanks to it they can have six meals a day and life a peaceful life in the Shire while the rest of Middle Earth are living stressful, medieval and dirty lifes
