@amicalucis Neat. That thing's ancient now by today's standards.
@trinsec
Well, not ancient, but a rarity. And probably expensive.
@amicalucis I'd consider the Soviet era kinda ancient by now. :) But yes, I don't think this can be cheap, and it'll only get rarer!
@trinsec
The Soviet era is long gone, but no older than Tsarist Russia and the Mayan civilizations😁
@amicalucis Hahaha, no indeed. :D Though it is -borderline- with the Tsarist Russia. ;)
And I think a Mayan watch is a bit... um.. it's probably a gigantic slab of stone, kinda hard to carry around on your wrist like that. 😜
@trinsec
The Mayan clock is a slab with symbols and planetary designations and of course it was not worn on the hand😂
@amicalucis Maybe it was.. as a punishment. :D
@trinsec
By the way, in Russia under Peter I, drunkards hung a medal around their necks.It weighed 17 pounds, that's without chains, and the man walked with it for a month.😁
@amicalucis Outch. I'm certain that must've been inspired by the Mayans! 😅
What did those medals look like?
@amicalucis Man, that looks clumsy as fuck. And I gather they had to display it all proudly to the world at large too, huh?
Did this help to reduce the amount of drunks in that time? :)
@trinsec
I am not a man.
This medal was attached to the neck and could not be removed by the person it was hung on, it worked of course)
@amicalucis Sorry, 'man' was just an expression, not aimed at you specifically. Just a figure of speech. Just like 'oh god...' or something. :)
You know, I think we should reinstate this medal as punishment for this modern time too!
@trinsec
You're right, all abusers should get a medal.
It's even better not to sell alcohol.))
@amicalucis Seeing as I don't drink alcohol, I'm inclined to agree with you there. :D
But I can see why people want to have a glass sometimes. I'd say like 2 glasses a week? That should be doable, right?
But many people drink a lot more than should be normal and they normalize it, that's bad. :(
@trinsec
Everything is good in moderation. Alcohol abuse is bad. And alcoholics drink all the hawthorn tinctures and industrial alcohol, they poison themselves, but they need to punish those who sell them.👆
