Hey you can't blame me about the Time Machine query, I forgot how actual encyclopedias work after years of Wikipedia brainrot (was expecting a mention of the novel or something). :p I'm not sure why this hasn't come up yet but look up "Flat Earth" next, please. If it doesn't exist or is written down as a "discredited/pseudoscientific" earth model I'm gonna laugh so drat hard. Explosive Tampons fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jan 19, 2020 |

This is a superb thread, op. I don't believe the following were requested, so if possible let's look for these: Franklin Delano Roosevelt Edward VIII Computer -- most likely it will talk about human computers, the obsolete profession. Planet X Hat -- primarily as people wore hats a lot more back then. Joseph Kennedy Sr. Libertarianism Saudi Arabia Tangier International Zone Shanghai International Settlement Panama Canal Zone Unit Record Equipment or Herman Hollerith Asbestos or Talc Theosophy Esotericism Thank you.

The first sentence in “Robot” sounds like the premise for an 80s metal album. Also I’m very concerned about the implications of the snail entry wherein “None of the American species are large or harmful.”

Stars / The Sun This was right at a magical time in astronomy when it was obvious that chemical combustion or gravitational compression heating couldn't possibly explain the insane power output of the sun but nuclear science was still in it's infancy so the atomic fusion theory was out there but with little confidence because there was no hard evidence fusion was even possible yet. It was an era of ever wilder attempts to explain "How the gently caress does the sun work?" because all the obvious candidates were indisputably wrong.

Philippe Pétain’s entry will be funny because he’s an unalloyed hero at this point. He’s going to get talked way up. Winston Churchill is “in the wilderness” at this time. If his entry is long enough, it will be interesting. Industrial Workers of the World Anarchists Al Capone The Titanic The coverage of astronomy so far is weird. No entry for stars? Try the entries “astronomy”, “nebula”, “Edwin Hubble”, and maybe “(The Great Nebula in) Andromeda”. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Jan 21, 2020 |
