Something to remember when the climate anxiety and doomerism are coming for you:

We went from inventing flight to landing on the moon in just 66 years

I wouldn't count us out of the climate change fight just yet

Lol retard imagine thinking anyone cares about you're retarded monkey ass culture that gave the world such innovations as the "Brazilian butt lift". Imagine living in a "country" renowned for its tranny prostitutes

If we're monkeys we're some damn smart monkeys, seeing as we've invented

Chest photofluorography for screening for tuberculosis

The Jatene procedure for arterial switch operation (a type of open heart surgery)

The first scorpion and spider antivenoms (in 1908 and 1925)

Caller ID

The wristwatch

Phone cards for payphones

Voting machines

Radiography (x-ray images)

Rice strainer

The Kinect for X-Box

3D cinema

The artificial heart

The most green light bulb in history

Havaianas flip flops

Automatic transmission

Typewriters

The solar bottle bulb

The first radio transmission

Two kinds of martial art (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Capoeira)

The portable stereo cassette player

The Walkman

Hot air balloons

The first plane able to do unaided takeoff and flight (the Wright brother's plane needed a catapult)

Brain-Machine Interfaces

and discovered

The pathogen, vector, host, clinical manifestations and epidemiology for Chagas disease

The pathogen for epidemic typhus

The disease cycle for bilharzia

What about you? what have you invented?

Or are you not as smart as us monkeys?

Wright Brothers [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Cueball and Megan are talking to each other.] Cueball: I've heard that when the Wright brothers argued, they periodically switched sides in the debate to try to encourage a more balanced conclusion. Cueball: We should try that in our relationship! Megan: It's a neat idea, but I think treating personal issues like a debate will only engender hostility and hurt feelings. Cueball: No, I think it would help, by forcing us to consider the other person's point of view. Megan: Hmm, maybe you're right. Cueball: Am not. It's a bad idea.

This was one of my favorite portfolio projects I did during my internship this summer on the Firaxis games concept team!

It was really fun bc the actual flight school of the Wright brothers was quite basic looking irl. So I had to come up with all sorts of ways to give it personality and charm plus make it look really lived in

#see I told yall I’d be posting my internship stuff on here one of these days #btw this isn’t actually going to be in civ or anything lol it was just a mock project #original art #art #artists on tumblr #concept art #environment design #digital art #prop design #visual development #firaxis games #wright brothers #civilization #planes

Wilbur Wright pushed a lever the wrong way and crashed the Flyer III during test flights on May 14, 1908.

After the greatest of [corrected from “od”] all air ship flights this afternoon the machine of [“Wr” crossed out] Wilbur and Orville Wright was smashed into an unrecognizable [“heap” crossed out] mass. The navigator of the machine, Wilbur Wright, escaped from the accident practically unhurt, [“xThax” crossed out] having received nothing more than a mere scratch on his face [“as a result of the accident” crossed out]. The [“mexbyne” crossed out] machine had already flown eight miles in seven [“second” crossed out] s minutes and [“seven” crossed out] forty seconds under beautiful control. The wrecking of [“the machine” crossed out] it was due to an error on the part of the navigator. Proceeding [“slights” crossed out] slightly in a downward course, it was the [“Wilbur” crossed out] designed by the navigator to elevate its course, but instead of working the lever to accomplish that result, he worked it as to direct the course of the machine still further downward. Responding instantly to the influence of the lever the machine shot downward and to [“th” crossed out] the ground with great rapidity. As strongly as it was put together it [“could not” crossed out] was crushed like an egg shell. Wilbur Wright’s luck which has [“stt” crossed out] stood by him ever since he has commenced his ascents in the air [“stood by him” crossed out] was still with. 

The machine was wrecked behind a sand hill two miles from the point [“at which” crossed out] from which it was started. [“Leaving” crossed out] Rising from [“the hous” crossed out] a point near the house in which it is stored, the machine flew away with twice the speed of a bird. Its course was directed north along [“th” crossed out] the beach for a mile and a half when it was [“then” crossed out] turned to the [page torn]

[page 2]

and which was working to their satisfaction, was hard to manipulate instantaneously, without considerable practice . The Wrights had not had time to practice its manipulation to perfection.

The flight of the machine was [word truly is inked out] a  marvelous one, [breaking all is inked out] far out distancing other successful ones that have been recently made at Kill Devil Hill. The machine [inked out had] flew upward of eight miles in seven minutes and forty seconds. Making the ascent from a point near the house in which it is sheltered, one mile from the Kill Devil Hill Life Saving Station, it was steered in a northerly direction, parallel with the coast for a mile and a half. It was then directed westward, over a [inked out "sand hill fifty feet"] small sand hill and between two larger. Then completely circling another sand hill, the course of the machine was turned towards the starting point. Arriving there like a giant bird on a mission requiring great haste, and under the perfect control of the navigator, the machine sped on, the navigator having determined to again fly over the four mile course which had been just completed. The course was pursued with the same great speed until exactly half of it had been flown. Then the fatal mistake was made. Barring the accident, the flight was [words truly a are marked out] magnificent [the word one is inked out] .

Previous to this flight an other of perhaps equal importance though shorter was flown. This consisted in the complete circling a big sand hill 150 feet tall for a distance of two miles, both Orville Wright and a mechanic assistant, being seated in the machine. The machine on this circuit came back to its starting point and beyond it for a quarter of a mile.

[penciled and underlined the number "3"]

The Wrights state that they will immediately pack up the wreckage of their machine and ship it back to their home in Dayton, Ohio "[several sentences are inked out and illegible]"

Orville Wright had intended leaving here Monday to prepare for a trip to Europe, having engagements there with representatives of foreign Governments who have [2 words inked out] been attracted by the possibilities of their machine.

Not since the Wrights have been here did their machine appear so complete an instrument as it did today, due no doubt to its wonderful performance in the hands of its makers who were daily displaying more skill in [inked in "operating  it] The fatal mistake was the result of [inked in importance [?]] with the operation of the new steering gear which the brothers had perfected and installed on the machine. Its working was very satisfactory, but required practice [inked in "for instantaneous manipulation[?]]

Another extraordinary flight [comparatively a short one is inked in] was made by the machine today [although is inked out] "[the words "although a comparatively a short one are inked out]" It was the complete circling of a sand mountain for a distance of two miles, '[inked out "Orville Wri"]"both Orville Wright and Furnass a mechanic occupying seats in the machine. The remarkable part about this flight was the fact that the machine was on a constant curve. It sailed the distance in two minutes and a half. It returned to its starting point and continued its flight for a quarter of

a mile beyond. "[two inked out illegible words]" Owing to the refusal of the Wrights to [2 illegible words are inked out] operate their machine when [3 words inked out "witnessed by strangers"] they were possessed of the knowledge that others besides themselves and the life-savers at the Kill Devil Hill Station [3 illegible penciled in words] and the isolation of their location, but few have seen the machine fly. Those who witnessed the flights today and many of the previous, besides [penciled in words "[The Wrights and Life-saving?]"the following newspaper Correspondents: Newton, of the New York Herald; Hoster, of the New York American Macgowan, of the [inked out 2 words] London Daily Mail and Salley.
