He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his nicaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Robin.

You're right.

They just shit themselves to death.

Yes, instead we have gangrene, leptospirosis, trepanning, faith healing, no education unless you're clergy, forced labor for 95% of the population, a life expectancy of 40 if you're lucky...

Oh, and taxes! still got those. Have to pay for Richard's crusade, you know. Congratulations on being conscripted as a peasant spearman, now get back up and stand in line with the rest of the fodder.

Fall of Civilizations might interest you. It covers the collapse of past empires, and tries to describe what life was like for the people living in them when they were at their peak, and what we know of life during the decline.

It is not specifically focused on religions, but for most of these cultures their religion was inherently bound up with their politics (both internal and external), economics, industry, and day-to-day life. Describing the society and culture includes a fair amount of detail about their religious beliefs and practices (for instance, you can't really give a useful description of the Egyptian empire without mentioning their gods). Many of the largest surviving ruins have religious significance. Personally, I think framing the religion inside the sociocultural context and history of the civilization makes it more interesting and more understandable.

The Fall of Civilizations YouTube Channel has the podcast episodes set to video of the locations as they are today, along with photos of artifacts from the culture and artistic depictions of what it might have looked like.

This does not satisfy the lowest set. 21-13=8

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Tertiary question: we know that Vulcans/Romulans were descendents of the Progenitors, but are Talaxians?

If not, it might not be technically possible for them to interbreed at all, meaning that a Vulcan/Talaxian hybrid could never occur naturally, and also that Tuvix would probably be genetically incompatible with everything and everyone. Therefore, no species - only an anomaly produced by a freak transporter accident.

If by "work" you mean "make a lot of money for war profiteers" and also "create excuses for oppression via force", then yes it works great!

Does Tuvix have two species, or none?

Generative algorithms, and the people intent on replacing artists with them.

Also everyone labeling and/or peddling these things as "Artificial Intelligence".

Also all of the corporations trying to shoehorn them into every product and service and ram them down user's throats.

Also every user that patronizes these things voluntarily.

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault. <--- You are here
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, You deserved it.

I'm dropping this in here for anyone who's interested in the background of where RWBY came from and what happened that turned it into the darling orphan it is today.

RWBY was Rooster Teeth's second major series. I think if you're a fan it's worth knowing about Monty Oum (RWBY was basically his personal project) and his influence on the company.

This video is the best summary I've seen of Rooster Teeth's existence, how they got started, their peak, and how it fell apart. They were internet trendsetters in a lot of ways. It's worth the time to watch.

My introduction to this was through the video, so it felt appropriate to share here. I'm sure this is a reupload and I saw it somewhere else earlier than 2012.

You can actually play with it on the creator's website:

This popular successor to the original Turbo Encabulator has now been itself succeeded by the impressive Hyper Encabulator. There seems to be no end to clever innovation in the important field of encabulation.
