I still think it's one of God's little jokes... muratic acid that you can buy at home depot style stores, that is GREAT at burning everything off of concrete, including the top layer of concrete... is what our stomachs use to digest food... and it's simply a layer of, for simple terminology, "boogers" that protects the walls of our stomach from it
chemistry is funny like that: every once in awhile you'll find some godforsaken corrosive acid that will set water on fire and turn nearly anything into horribly toxic fumes including most of the materials you would normally use to store something highly reactive like steel, glass, crystal, gold, frigging _diamond_ and just about any other famously nonreactive material you can think of but will do basically nothing to a cheap plastic tub. and I do mean specifically the cheap ones, it'll go straight through the nice fancy super tough weather and age resistant rubberized ones.
Here's one for you. There are birds with higher concentrations of acid and there biology let's their shit burn down their legs to keep them sterile and not get sick. In nature it seems the more likely you are to eat the "don't eat that" stuff the higher the acid concentration.

Day six of subscription, and the occupation of my room by the nanite swarm. Well, the walk was somewhat of a sucess. I took an old backpack I had lying around and cut some holes in it. Taped clear plastic over them so the swarm could see. At least I am pretty sure they can see, gotta find the socks somehow. I did not account for the fact that I would pass someone who had not subscribed. My own fault in all honesty, the little fella tried to go for their socks, jostled the pack and knocked me over in the process. Thankfully no harm was done, and I passed it off as me just being clumsy. I think I'll hold off on the walks for a bit, or at least until I can figure out if feeding them a few socks before the walk helps keep them calm. For now, they have scurried back under my bed, and I am off to buy more socks.

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: I disagree. Plenty of mindless insectoid species put others above themselves. Story 2: MUHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHA Story 3: Yeah, our digestive tract is scary.
I agree with both writing and farming being indicators of civilisation, as a civilisation is necessary for either. I also agree that many nomadic tribes without a writing system are rightly considered civilisations. So how about stories? Information passed down in narrative, modified by the teller, influenced by questions, etc., being the first indication of a unique society, thus civilisation.
I hate when I slightly upchuck into my mouth or back of throat. Shit burns bad enough that I almost can’t catch my breath, and leaves a slight chemical burn. 🤦
First sign of civilization is agriculture, because agriculture is what allows for the ending of nomadism and for settling into one land with permanent structures and interactions.
It's sort of hard to start picking out where non-sentient organisms stop and sentient organisms begin, like ants farm, and there's at least one tribe that still exists today that doesn't know how to make fire though they do know a little about how to use it.
Well, I disagree with that. A fire is just a better way to cook food, and humans have had fire for 300+ thousand years. Meanwhile, femurs healing doesn't appear in the fossil record until about 15 thousand years ago. A healed femur implies a change in the mentality of a species: rather than abandoning an individual that would be a net drain on resources, you take your time to help them. That's when civilization starts: when the wellbeing of a separate being outweighs your own personal survival. Where as fire is merely a tool to extract more nutrients out of your food.
the first sign of civilization is having some kind of way of interacting with an environment as a group. though things like an actual language or farming or fire are all big milestones for when it actually matters worth a dam. ...you also get stuff like ants where communication has been taken to such an extreem that individual members are closer to being parts of a body with the social unit being the actual organism, the damned things even use distributed processing and signal systems to give the hive itself environmental awareness and information processing/storage/retrieval, some fairly impressive problem solving, and friggin computation! some species of ants have hives that think solve puzzles and do math and that is WAY more terrifying than any spider that ever was.
I'd argue its the moment when a species stops passively accepting the limits of their environs and start actively making changes. That is the moment where the biosphere limitation ends and sapience begins.
@@zacharyhawley1693 I'd agree on your sapience point (sentience? I can't actually remember which of those words is about problem solving and which is about self awareness), but that's not quite the same thing as civilization. while they certainly seem linked from our perspective you do not need either one to have the other.
On the first story. I used to think caring for one's fellows was a sign of civilization as well - but..... wolves do this. They care for injured and sick members of their packs and even care for senior wolves that can no longer hunt. Great apes often do the same. There are many animals that do this in the wild. So are they then civilized?
Crazy xeno! He took footage of gameplay to show his bosses. Dude ,there's things you do in a game you can't do IRL, or you 'll get tried for war crimes. The first sign of civilisation, is talking to the ones who disagree with you, instead of bashing their sculls in. We're not there yet, but hopefully some day.... Yeah , human biology is weird. Or at least you think so, until you see what some other earth species get up to. By comparison , humans are paragons of normality. I mean two stomachs? A literal food pouch that is part of your body? Sigh! We got shafted! All we got. was a complicated brain that wont shut up, that takes a boat load of calories to maintain.
I mean..you dont get tried if you do these things. 1. Get war crime'd and thus casus belli to uno reverse. 2. Win said war and pack the cards in your favour. 3. Hide the warcrimes long enough for when it shines, it will be too late/outrage minimal or non existent due to massively diffrent time periods. (america's warcrimes)
Aiding another to heal from injury or illness would be a sign of civilization or at least that of a people working towards it. No generals, this was a youngling competing in a game that actual pilots aren't allowed to participate in. You don't want to know what actual, everyday pilots can do, let alone their aces. 6 or 7 beers caused a hazmat incident? Good thing he hadn't been eating Mexican food along with the beers.
I am sure all those xenos, called themselves civilized as soon as they could farm and domesticated animals.. I can't believe won't believe that they will call anyone with out ftl uncivilized or not sentient.. this is one of my pet peeves of these stories, humans and or other xenos are not sentient or civilized because they don't have ftl. It really po's me coming from a person's who ppl were not considered human, even though some of the ppl of this land had major cities. Called savages, animals. Killed to clear the way for quote unquote civilization. Our lands were called empty lands, MO one lives here.
You know how people make up excuses so they are acting properly, when they know they are being evil. Or blame the victim of their deeds for some imagined sin. That is what is happening in all those stories, idiotic rules whose only purpose is to trick their convenience into not realizing they are unethical to the point of outright evil piles of excrement.
So some ants are a civilization then. Some species grow fungi and have 'cattle', aphids, which they protect and 'milk' for the honeydew they excrete... They even fulfill the humans requirements in the story by rescuing, protecting and nursing others from their own colony when needed... Also, probably won't be too long (in evolutionary timescales) till the other apes and Corvids (mainly the Ravens) start farming...both appear to be in the very early stages of the stone age with not only tool use, but tool creation...and corvids are already starting to domesticate wolfs in the same way humans did...
Dang it for the first one i put agriculture. When one can meticulously produce their source of food instead of hunting or gathering. Being able to create food that is able to sustain not just your self and immediate family but also others for higher survival or in turn for good or services ( or interdependence) . this is what i would of said. dang it i was a fool
6 or 7 beers? I avoid beer but by alcohol percent that's 2ish glasses of whiskey... barley buzzing at that. No offence on the author, good writer, just obviously not a big drinker.
Pint of beer is about 2 units alcohol, single measure of whisky is 1 unit. (Unit is 8g or 10ml alcohol). So 6-7 pints in succession would definately get one drunk, & could well make someone who doesn't drink a lot be sick.
Imagine the third story happened in 40k lol

Problem is then you have to count various ants, termites, some beetles, and several fish as civilized.
Ants do heal there injured.
Farming is the first step to a large sustainable civilization, not civilization.
We have had many nomadic tribes in relatively recent times and early hunter-gatherers in earlier times that were all considered civilizations.
