Ordeal Trials 9 Most Bizarre Punishments From Ancient History
Crushing By Elephants - This was one of the most terrifying methods of execution and it comes from ancient Southeast Asia. The convicts were executed by crushing them using elephants. This method was quite popular in India from the Mughal period until the late 19th century. The criminals were laid down and wild angry elephants ran over them repeatedly ensuring a quick yet painful death.
Death in a Cage - Popular in Italy and Britain, if anyone was sentenced to death then it meant that they had to go through both agonizing torture as well as public humiliation. And being isolated naked in a cage was the way to do it. The criminal was put inside an iron cage in a public place without any clothes or food and starved to death.
Cutting the Nose - Ancient Egyptians used to cut people’s noses off if they broke the laws of the state. Once the punishment was served, the criminals were sent to prison city Rhinocorura, near Gaza. It was a place full of crooks without noses. No one was above the law in ancient Egypt and corrupt government officials too were given the same punishment. Once a Pharaoh's wife slit his throat in his sleep. She along with all the conspirators were sentenced to have their noses cut off.
Animal Masks And Humiliating Badges - People liked to ridicule and humiliate criminals in the Middle ages. The best non-violent punishment was forcing the criminals to wear horrifying animal masks and roam them around the city. Apart from these terrifying masks, criminals were given humiliating badges which they had to wear for their whole lives. The badges indicated that those criminals were not to be trusted with anything ever again.
Mud - Execution by suffocation was a very common practice in ancient times. However, in the Medieval period, a very strange kind of suffocation technique was used called mud, the glorious mud. Historians tell us that the criminal was killed by throwing him/her in a pit full of stinky mud. The convict either died by drowning or by suffocation. In medieval France, suffocation by mud was reserved only for unfaithful wives.
Death in a Metal Bull - In ancient Greece, people were punished by cooking them inside a giant bull made of bronze. The convicted person was put locked inside a metal bull and a fire was lit under it. This slowly burnt the person to death. The people passing by used to enjoy this act of brutality and thought of it as some kind of entertainment.
The Dunking or Cucking Stool - The Cucking stools were used in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth England and New England to punish women accused of doing something unwomanly. At that time gossiping, backbiting, having an argument with the husband, and fighting with the neighbors were considered unwomanly things. The convicted woman was tied up to a stool and then dropped into a lake or a stream again and again.
Ordeal Trials - The ordeal trials were a test of innocence or guilt by inflicting severe pain on the accused. If the accused survived the pain, they were innocent, if they didn’t, they were guilty. There were basically three types of ordeal trials. One was cold water, where the accused was tied up and thrown into the water. In this case, floating was a sign of guilt, and sinking to the bottom meant you’re innocent. The second one was hot water where a boiling stone was put on the accused’s body. If the wounds healed within three days, it meant you’re innocent, if they didn’t it meant you’re guilty. The last one was the hot iron, where the accused had to hold a hot iron without burning in order to prove their innocence.
Iron Maiden - “The Iron Maiden” was a very popular instrument in Europe in medieval times. It was basically like an iron cabinet with multiple lethal metal spikes on the inside. The criminals were forced inside the cabinet and it was slowly closed until they died. Sometimes it wasn’t fully closed if the purpose was just to torture the criminal.

Meet Alicia Grace Speedwagon (was Hughes before she married)!
Welcome to my Jojo's OCs!
First up is my Phantom Blood OC, Alicia!
Here's a picture I made on an avatar maker!
And I did write a bio for her, which I used to make the picture.
Name: Alicia Grace Speedwagon (Was Hughes before she married)
Species: Human
Age at the start of Phantom Blood: The same age as Dio, so I think 13.
Height when she’s done growing: 5’6.5
Hair: Dark brown, curly, down to her shoulders. She usually keeps it in a bun when working, but will have it in a half-up style when out on the town.
Eyes: Ocean blue with forest green flecks throughout.
Skin: Somewhat pale, but not terribly so. Freckles over the face and down to the shoulders.
Build: Slender, but fairly strong. Nimble and capable.
Outfits: Alicia wears a maid outfit when working. When not working, she wears a victorian blouse with a green and brown plaid vest over it as well as a brown skirt with buttons down the front. She has a few other vests and skirts, one set more formal and one more casual set for when she visits Ogre Alley on charity business. When it’s cold, she wears a dark blue cloak with brown fur trim. She also typically wears shin-high boots even while working, with a warmer, fur-lined pair for winter.
Abilities: Has some medical knowledge, but not much. No Hamon abilities whatsoever, though she is curious about it, asking Jonathan all about it. Speedwagon teaches her a little bit of self-defense when she starts going to Ogre Alley.
Personality: Friendly, kind, but not naive. Sharp wit when she wants it, and a good judge of character. Independent and capable. Would do about anything for her friends and loved ones.
Occupation: Maid for the Joestar family.
Misc: Her father is William Hughes, the Joestar’s cook. She was taught by Mrs. Pendleton, going to the Pendleton house every school-day from about 6 years old to 15 years old, then Dr. Pendleton took his family to India and Mr. Joestar offered her a job as a maid and she accepted. She also starts bringing extra food and blankets from the Joestar estate to Ogre Alley every two weeks. That’s where she meets Robert Speedwagon and he begins to act as her bodyguard, slowly falling for her in the process. She falls for him too along the way.
Hope you guys like her!
Last thing is that the Maid in the Manor tag is for the fanfiction I'm going to post and the Bizarre Adventures of the Secondary Characters is the collection of all these fics. I got one for each part, so stay tuned!
Lemme know what y'all think of her! I'll be making posts of my other OCs, btw.

Genshin Vent
1. There’s a way to deal with child protagonists in adventure stories. Either go with it or actually address it. Genshin does not commit to either and it’s immersion breaking. This would all be solved if the traveler and their sibling were adults but they decided to make them kids. It keeps reminding you all the time that these are kids, particularly with comments about how they’re too young to drink (apparently they’re 15). They don’t allow for underage drinking but never comment on the traveler fighting constantly. Adult characters like Lisa can sound like they’re flirting with the traveler which is really uncomfortable. Where are their parents? Are they orphans or can their parents not dimension hop? Who let them do this in the first place? No one brings it up. Characters ages are relevant but not logical. It’s bizarre that the only line the adult characters will not let the children cross is underage drinking. Not that I want the kids to do underage drinking I just want the game to be consistent.
2. The game was already unrealistically and overwhelming white/pale before it decided to whitewash Sumeru, which is obviously based on southeast Asia and Africa (India and Egypt in particular). It’s not just rascist but colourist. They have made the brown people not only scarce but as pale as possible with barely any variety in tones.
3. I don’t like how Paimon struggles with names and is dismissive of food only in Sumeru - she eats slime but African food is too much for her? It’s gross and has racist undertones.
4. The disability representation - despite this being a pretty combative world the characters live in - is aggressively lacking. Which makes the world unrealistic and boring. Collei’s Elazar could have been some great representation but it of course get’s cured (which you could see from a mile away).
5. I hate that the women’s breasts bounce when they breath. Nearly half of players are women you do not need to pander to straight men only (I say straight men because I think most queer women still prefer fem characters to have a bit more dignity than this outside of porn).
6. I just wish we knew about the protagonists more, what was their home planet like? Have they realm jumped before? Why are they so chill about it?
7. Dori is a Turkish stereotype, most cultures that aren’t white have harmful stereotypes around being greedy so maybe just don’t. Especially since she’s the only Turkish based character.
8. Eula’s quest is bonkers. I can’t tell if the writers are self-aware that she’s being classist or not. Because they seem to frame it like people are just prejudiced because of her family. But she’s the one who is unsolicited calling them plebs for no reason. You’re meant to be training to talk her uppity uncle, shouldn’t we be talking to the townsfolk like they’re royalty then? It makes it seem like she deserves her treatment, especially with her threatening to fight everyone.
9. Kuki Shinobu is my least favourite character. She calls Itto - a character that I read as ADHD - “crazy” and belittles him. Her outfit is also my least favourite. She’s meant to be this strict lawyer, no nonsense figure yet she’s in a tacky crop top and booty shorts. Jean and Sara both have outfits that show their authority and seriousness so why not her? I get that she wants freedom but otherwise her outfit does not fit her at all.
10. I wish Takuya the blue oni was a member of the Arataki gang. Or even a playable character.
11. The government of Mondstaht makes no sense. It’s meant to be all about freedom. However, it’s essentially a police state ruled by a nepotism general. It should be a form of anarchy.
12. Diona makes me so uncomfortable. Who let a twelve year old enter a bar, let alone work there? Is she staying up all night? Why can’t she just be an adult teetotaler. It makes her dad seem irresponsible that his drinking upsets his daughter a lot and he does nothing about it and that he lets her bartend. Which would be fine if anyone addressed that or tried to help them. It’s just uncomfortable as is. Like an adult with a dead beat dad is sad but fine. But a child with a dead beat dad makes everyone around her look bad and irresponsible. Which seems to be a big Genshin issue to me. It creates lore that it’s not prepared or ill equipped to fully explore.
13. Big tell not show problem. Especially with Kokomi.
14. I hate that the closest we get to a plus size main character is that Ganyu used to be larger and now stringently watches what she eats. She even comes across like she has an eating disorder sometimes. Genshin characters can look and act very similar, so not only would it be nice representation if she was plus size but it would help differentiate characters as well.
15. Paimon does not need to comment every time you fish. Once every few goes is fine. She also doesn’t need to re-explain what an NPC just said.
16. Having to go and pray at statues to change your power as the MC was fine in like Mondstaht when you’d mainly just have the torch and totem puzzles. But now that every five seconds I have to switch to anemo for sand, fire or water for flowers, fire for the lightning rocks, dendro for the flowers that shoot dendro teleportation sigils and more I want to be able to scroll and switch power for the MC as long as I’m not in combat. Like I hate running over to the wolf boss in Mondstaht just to realize that I should teleport over to Inazuma to be electro and run all the way back.
17. More outfits, especially for the MC. It is SO annoying that Ayaka offers us a new outfit and we have to turn her down it feels like the developers are laughing at me. Also, Ayaka and Ayako should at least have matching pastoral outfits.
18. I’m SO SICK of the male characters getting to be more clothed than the female characters on average. Also give some of the women flat shoes. I get having impractical clothes for flavour but sometimes it actively does not suit a character and makes them look incompetent. Like Ningguang suits heals she’s high society but Beido does not. It doesn’t suit her personality and she lives on a wet, slippery ship so it’s even less practical than just a regular fighter.
19. If they had more diversity the characters would look more interesting. Sometimes I feel like they add excessive and bizarre elements to the character’s designs to differentiate them instead of just having more shades of skin colour, different hair types (like curly, wavy or coily hair), physical disabilities, scars, or body size differences. Like Childe’s teacher looks like a discount Eula with a busier, uglier leotard and nice boots and gloves as the only saving grace.
20. Buying two things from the teapot traveling salesman at someone else’s place is a stupid thing to tick off in Battle Pass. Who buys from the salesman that much let alone from someone else’s place? He has hardly any stuff and no variety. Fish for twenty fish or something like that would be way better.
21. More of the furnishings for the tea kettle house should be indoor as well as outdoor. It’s bizarre that little things in particular can’t be inside like the Statue of Her Excellency. Red Kitsune Doll, or Storm braver ship would all fit really well inside the mansion.
22. Hate the water diaper you get while swimming. It looks SO dumb and it’s so bizarre because Genshin is the one that puts most of the women in skimpy clothes so why are they trying to preserve the character’s dignity now? To look all the way up a mountain to see how far you have left you almost have to get an upskirt angle. It is baked into the game that certain characters do not get to preserve their modesty, so why this?
23. Important limited timed events should be character quests you can play later. They can have less rewards as a trade off. But it’s BS that if I go for a trip in the woods I could miss out on important plot in Genshin that I could only find on YouTube not even in it’s complete form on Genshin’s page. Like what do new players think when they play and theirs limited time avents in areas they can’t even reach yet???
24. There are so many characters to keep track of I would love them to have less names. Like Childe being Childe and Tartaglia. There are so many irrelevant details and characters and it’s a lot to keep track of especially since only through replaying a game does everything sink in for me. But I’d never do that here. What am I meant to do replay the same limited time event twice immediately at the same time, farm for level up items a million more times????? No.
25. The lore is so much work. Between the manga, character texts, and overly wordy dialogue it’s too much. Edit things better.
26. If there’s important NPCs PLEASE give them them a unique look! Otherwise they all blend together. Even the human adeptus’ at the latest lantern rite were boring looking and they were gods.
27. Why is Paimon not a big deal? Apparently stories of fairies exist because people call her one but it seems she’s the only real one. Can you imagine if a fairy just suddenly existed and no one was curious or surprised about it. It’s so bizarre.
28. The traveler should be a celebrity by now. Charlotte should have been begging us for an interview from day one. We’ve literally changed the landscape. We have fought dragons, know gods, fought gods, lit up mountains and giant glowing trees in the sky. We should have a MUCH bigger reputation by now. Sure a few people comment on us. We can’t compete in the Pankration ring because of our reputation but people should be TERRIFIED of us. Not even gods can use more than one element. We are half way to being a god. It’s just weird to be not that big a deal to most people. And then the characters that are obsessed with us, like Ayaka, it’s not about what we’ve done it’s romance coded who we are stuff.
29. God I wish Watasumi Island never made peace with the rest of Inazuma. Hoyoverse should go back and add more to the Inazuma main quest in general they rushed it SO MUCH. Like the puppet should not be allowed to exist anymore or if it’s alive now like Scaramouch it should have to step down. Love Ei, but one traumatizing god is enough.

hi tt! sorry for the random ask, but i'm moving to india next week and i was wondering if you had any tips for apartment hunting? (looking to rent a place in delhi)
Hello friend!!!
Gosh, idk if I'll be any help in this area; Delhi is a whole different beast from where I live down in the South, so I can't give you very specific advice about the area. Plus I'm generally quite useless at adulting in this country coz I just operate differently, having lived outside all my life (up until 5 years ago) But in general:
Take the help of someone who is familiar with the area and has your best interests at heart. Warna, broker se lekar landlord tak, everyone is out to screw you over and make maxxxx profit. So you really would benefit from someone who knows the places and rehen-sehen of Delhi well;
Plan your budget and shortlist the location you'd like to live in first, and then look out for location-specific facebook groups for this purpose for leads;
Make sure the area is safe and well-lit at all hours; best if it has allotted security for your building/society/etc.;
Check that all amenities (groceries, pharmacies, decent food places, etc.) you need are there around;
Check if electrical/plumbing/infrastructure/etc. everything is working properly before you move in, and who is responsible (you or landlord) for payment/repairs if something does go wrong (which it will. this is India. of course it will eventually.);
Do a vibe check with the neighbours/roommates. You'll have to live with these ppl long-term and it's best to only move in if the vibes match. Like if you like your peace and quiet, and they're the loud party type, then that's obviously gonna be a hellish year while you live there.
Make sure you clearly establish an agreement with landlord prior to moving in; India has absolutely bizarre rules they like to impose on renters - from what you eat (some people refuse to give houses to non veg eaters), whom you can have over (no friends allowed after blah blah pm types. Like, fuck, what kinda rules are these for a grownass adult living on their own?!?!?!?!) to pets being allowed. So yeah, make all these things really clear and get it in writing if possible before you move in so there's no scope for drama later.
If you're living solo, there's a bunch of these new age living setup thingies, like Stanza Living etc., where they give you a furnished room with all amenities included (like wifi, housekeeping, laundry, recreational facilities, etc.) If those are suitable for you budget/location-wise, check those out!

So when are you going to own up to being wrong? Or are you just happy to sweep the racist and defense of the racist under the rug?
I'm kinda going to mush a couple asks into one answer here, and then answer some others down below. I always do my best with the information I have at the time, and I always try to do the right thing. I'm not always going to get it right based on initial information. The person in question had not been in discord since the start of this and had been decided not to return since the start of this, and that really should have been the extent of my personal involvement. There is nothing I can do further than that in this situation, I have no recourse besides that, and that occurred at the very start of this situation. I realized that my previous posts may have not been in line with how I should be reacting to this, and to the end of ensuring I am not unethical acting towards any victims, that I shouldn't be engaging in the situation as I had been. I don't know the truth, obviously, as someone not being directly involved in any of this, and once it did not involve my clan, which it didn't since before I even woke up the first day, I should not have been involved. I am personally not well and still in recovery, and this whole situation has been negatively affecting my health that I have not been keeping up with it much after the initial day, and I'm not really in a position to be able to at this time, but it's not my responsibility to. I always try my absolute best to do the right thing, but I'm not psychic and can only deal the cards I have in my hand at the time. Even then, I don't always deal them in the best way.
Obviously, I don't condone racism. Obviously, I'll never knowingly defend racism or racists, there's no defense to racism. Obviously, having experienced racism myself I understand how much it can hurt people, both the vulgar kind (I have been called "b****r", "w*****k", "m******o", one I won't repeat that was popular after 9/11 that technically does not apply to me, and variations on my ethnic last name) but also the casually much more quiet kind (being told how negative aspects of personality is due to specific genetics, how I better not end up like certain stereotypes, if I'm embarrassed of my name, making fun of thick dark body hair, that I'm just a diversity hire, and of course, how I'm super smart or well spoken for being Mexican). I'm sorry for anyone who has encountered racism in this community and the world at large. Since there are other humans in the LD community, there is going to be racism, and that's going to be something the community will repeatedly have to reckon with. However, I have no solution for this, the only thing I've ever been taught in college is exposure to help temper such hate. I feel as though most members are assumed to be Caucasian. If it helps those who may have implicit bias or even a bit racist, I am multiracial and have been a kind and competent member of the community. I am primarily Indigenous American/Mexican/Caucasian/Indian, with other smaller heritages. I have family living in Mexico that are successful smart people, including an art professor and food business owner. By the way, that is India the country Indian. I say this because I don't often discuss my racial background, but maybe I should and maybe that would help folks expand their views on people. I'm lucky to have grown up in one of the most diverse places on Earth but I realize not everyone has had that chance.
Back to the ask, you ask if I'm happy. I'm not happy at any of this. None of this is a happy good thing. This is all a bad thing no matter how I look at it. I don't know if I was wrong but I don't know if I was definitely right, only two people know that and I'm not one of those persons. The whole thing is absolutely bizarre and hurtful and confusing and off. This person is no longer in the Lioden space I manage, and I reviewed what was available for any racism in the server to ensure there were no victims or proof and I came up with nothing. I can't do anything besides that and I'm sorry for that. I did what I thought was right with the information I had at the time. If your response to that is death threats or slurs, maybe review what appropriate reactions to things are. I'm not going to be active here for a while, primarily due to my health and just not handling this situation well in multiple ways. There's really nothing more I can add or help the situation regardless. I'm sorry.
Someone asked what my advice for this situation would be, and I have zero advice really. Obviously like don't fake things or be a closet racist, and if there's drama or some big blow up and it does not personally involve you don't get involved even with the best intentions because if it doesn't personally involve you, you might not know or understand the complex workings of the situation such as the truth.
Someone asked something about how I wished this had happened and I guess I wish this was in court because I believe there is a way to formally request all records from Discord that would definitively show the reality of the situation.
Same vein, someone asked regarding defamation if it is false. Uhh, so you can't sue Tumblr itself. Also there needs to be damages and I haven't heard of a case regarding online personas. I think in this case as it stands there's not really grounds for a lawsuit. If this was happening regarding real life personas it would be a different story because it would be easier to prove authenticity and damages. There are other things that could happen that could result in the case but it's pretty horrible and I'm not even going to put that out there.
Am I going to quit Lioden... Well, honestly I've been considering prior to all this, and this situation certainly didn't inspire the warm fuzzies. I'm already on a hiatus due to health so who knows. I likely won't be as active as a year ago just because of things outside all this.
Not personally interested in killing myself at this time but if I change my mind I'll let you know.
How do I plan on killing myself? Oxygen poisoning over several decades. Guys, seriously, don't do death threats or suicide urgings in 2022 especially just because I investigated something. This isn't a reasonable response to this situation.
Thanks for those wishing well wishes. I appreciate that. You're kind.
Okay, everyone, have a wonderful night. I'm sorry this is the situation in the community right now. Love you all despite this.

Pregnancy cravings are a common phenomenon experienced by many women during their pregnancy. These cravings can range from the mundane to the bizarre, and can sometimes be quite intense. In Saudi Arabia, pregnancy cravings are no different, and many women in the country have shared their experiences of unusual cravings during their pregnancies.
One of the most common pregnancy cravings in Saudi Arabia is for dates. Dates are a staple food in the Saudi diet, and are known for their high nutritional value. Many pregnant women in Saudi Arabia report craving dates during their pregnancies, and some even go as far as to eat them by the handful. Dates are rich in vitamins and minerals, and are believed to provide energy and strength to both the mother and the baby.
Another common pregnancy craving in Saudi Arabia is for traditional Saudi dishes. Saudi cuisine is known for its rich and flavorful dishes, and many pregnant women in the country find themselves craving these dishes during their pregnancies. Some popular dishes that are commonly craved by pregnant women in Saudi Arabia include kabsa, a spicy rice dish with meat, and harees, a dish made from wheat and meat that is cooked until it becomes a thick porridge-like consistency.
In addition to traditional Saudi dishes, many pregnant women in Saudi Arabia also report craving international foods during their pregnancies. Some women report craving foods from countries such as India, Italy, and the United States, and find themselves indulging in dishes such as pizza, pasta, and curry. These cravings are often a result of hormonal changes during pregnancy, and can be quite intense.
One of the most unusual pregnancy cravings reported in Saudi Arabia is for non-food items. Some pregnant women in the country report craving items such as ice, dirt, and chalk during their pregnancies. These cravings, known as pica, can be dangerous if not addressed, as consuming non-food items can be harmful to both the mother and the baby. Pregnant women who experience cravings for non-food items should seek medical attention to ensure the health and safety of themselves and their baby.
In Saudi Arabia, pregnancy cravings are often seen as a normal and natural part of pregnancy. Many women in the country believe that cravings are the body's way of signaling what it needs in order to support the growing baby. As a result, pregnant women in Saudi Arabia are often encouraged to listen to their cravings and indulge in them in moderation.
While pregnancy cravings are a common phenomenon in Saudi Arabia, they can sometimes be difficult to manage. Some women find themselves craving unhealthy foods, such as sweets and fried foods, which can lead to weight gain and other health issues. To combat these cravings, many pregnant women in Saudi Arabia turn to healthier alternatives, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
In addition to managing cravings, pregnant women in Saudi Arabia are also encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle during their pregnancies. This includes eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and getting plenty of rest. By taking care of themselves and their babies, pregnant women in Saudi Arabia can ensure a healthy and happy pregnancy.
In conclusion, pregnancy cravings are a common phenomenon experienced by many women in Saudi Arabia. These cravings can range from the mundane to the bizarre, and can sometimes be quite intense. While cravings are a normal part of pregnancy, it is important for pregnant women to listen to their bodies and indulge in their cravings in moderation. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and seeking medical attention when needed, pregnant women in Saudi Arabia can ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy for themselves and their babies.

The change seemed instant. One moment we worked, played, slept in the year of 2023, the next everything changed, as in literally. I blinked and the works looked different, was different. It seemed as if the entire human race got sent somewhere close to 50 years in the future, which we could tell by cutting down trees to count the rings. While the internet was down I watched my neighbour cut down the tree he planted just last year to count the rings… or I suppose he planted it 51 years ago. At first we were all confused. Even the greyest buildings of the middle off the city had turned green, overgrown. The air was lighter and the sky was more blue.
The fifty or so years without us allowed the earth to heal. The food rotted, the internet disappeared, the bikes rusted. Nothing works anymore but we’re trying to make do. We’ve been collecting in town. I found my friends and family and we walked to medborgarplatsen to listen to someone who decided to take charge. I know this will sound incredibly gen Z of me but the city almost feels more village like now that we have no real direction. It took a while and a lot of people starved to death, since we had no real agriculture. Luckily, since nature has healed, the sea and forests were full of game.
I try not to think about those who died. Not to be uncaring or apathetic but the whole thing is just so bizarre I find myself expecting to wake up in my bed in 2023 again. We got the fields up and running (is that the right words?), we managed to remove the rust from the factories and made a few of those gross gelatinous candies. Soon, we got contact to the rest of the world again. Amongst with theories of what happened, none of which make sense to me, three facts remained.
Number one: we’ve lost a lot of people, especially in high density city environments as the lack of food and transport really made the concrete jungles just… concrete. We have memorial services every Thursday now. Those in the area meet and we mourn. It’s nice.
Number two: the nuclear power plants obviously went under since there’s been no one to care for them. I don’t know how it works exactly but now a lot of land surrounding the nuclear plants is dead. Dead for us humans atleast, the mushrooms are having fun over there. As sad as it is, we lost a lot of people there too. More names to mourn.
Number 3: some areas have changed in different ways than expected. Söder has, for example, been painted wonderfully. Almost as if a human did it. Can you imagine? The entire world, everyone, get sent 50 years in the future. But not you. You’re left to live those 50 years. We haven’t found any of these people but we guess there’s been one in söder, one in Dalarna, one in Lapland. That’s just Sweden though, there’s been signs in Germany, Italy, India, France. Everywhere. But no one found alive. It must have been awful.
I farm now. I can’t really rely on a digital media education in the apocalypse, if you can even call it that. I’m writing this down in one of my book, we were lucky enough for our house to be newly built so while it is extremely dusty (and a bit mouldy) it is generally ok.
I try to keep up with the news, I’m much better at it now than what I was before it happened, but two years have passed. Nothing makes sense, none of the theories scientists have made make sense. All I know is that I should farm. Thinking too much about it just makes me nauseous, farming helps.
