Today's web is the opposite of what early Internet utopians had in mind. Now the situation is somewhat similar to climate change: even committed activists can no longer turn the tide for the better. (lemmy.world)

Just saying they're a bit terminally online.

The oldest consumer complaint is from approximately 3800 years ago and is a clay tablet complaining about the copper they received from Ea-Nasir. (A meme you might have seen around, even if you didn't know that context)

Ancient Egyptians were around long enough they were doing archeology on Ancient Egyptians. There's plenty of science and engineering in China and Africa that predates Pythagoras' weird cult. (Srsly, if you're not familiar with the cult of Pythagoras, highly recommend)
