Ah for the case of Val going back in time to try and overthrow the first hero of humanity, assuming somehow that happened, - assuming best cases happened through out their life - anything they accomplished within their lifetime would be quickly swept away after their death and whatever remnants that remained would too be swept into the dustbin of history as the Akkadians begin their conquest of the region.
Yeah. Obviously... unless... I create gunpowder. That way I'll be unstoppa... Oh, the Akkadians stole the recipe and conquered us anyway, damn.
The only difficult ingredient to source would be quality charcoal, and it'd be a pain in the ass to find saltpeter and sulfur, followed by convincing people why its important to dig for bat shit and spoiled egg smelling rocks
there's also the problem that I don't actually know how to make gunpowder. You seem to though. Maybe we should send you back in time.
No, thank you. I enjoy plumbing too much to be sent back to anything before 17th century.
Shit in a bucket and flush with a handful of sawdust, it'll change your life.
No
It is a better experience than a porta-potty by several categorical degrees, and those are somehow broadly seen as acceptable.
i'm not wiping my ass with a handful of sawdust
no you wipe with toilet paper, then you dump sawdust on top, if you're fancy then you have ash mixed in with the sawdust
7 foot long disposal chain that never clogs or leaks and barely even smells, vs. 7 mile long pipeline that gives you a public health emergency when it rains real hard
Hmm, no. plumbing is still the pick here.
Ever had a sewer pipe break and fill up with clay on you, resulting in the sewage backing up into the shower, the sinks, and the washing machine?
I was really glad I had a shovel and a back yard, that week.
no because the plumbing system here was made recently enough and isn't whatever antiquated system that keeps getting put off by penny pinching reactionaries in your neck of the woods.
all pipelines leak but i'm sure yours is an exception
Concidering how we've had quite a few big earthquakes these past few years and all the waterlines endured the fuckery of the roiling earth?
Yeah I think we got an excellent exception here.
