Wait, was Stephen watching the guy tutoring at a bar?
right iâm obviously not on the conspirators side here but this tweet is annoying
burn things other than wood?
i know you can get a wood fire forge hot enough to melt metal, thatâs not the annoying bit. itâs like theyâre trying to make fun of the internal logic of the people that are claiming wood canât melt metal, when it holds true. ARGH why am i even typing this literally what is the point
Have you ever had to knock on it though?
But we didnât have coal in the bronze age did we?
then you would still need a kiln afaik. pretty sure they had charcoal though.
just irked they seem to be suggesting there is no other way to heat metal other than with a wood fire? imo that joke / response doesnât work
idk
Thread got boring again.
itâs just getting going IMO
Well Iâve never had to knock on bronze
But I know someone who has
Which make me wonder, howâs Balonz?
It makes me wonder howâs
Iâve never had to knock on bronze
And Iâm glad I havenât yet
Because weâre not leprechauns
Thatâs the impression that I get
Thatâs not what theyâre suggesting. The first metals found were from the ore stones being in fire pits AFAIK. If it wasnât bronze I guess copper? @epimer?
So the point being made is that if you canât melt metal with wood youâd never have first discovered metal use.
this is the content i crave from DiS tbh
you donât find bronze theo, you make it. with copper. also you can use and shape metal without fire too.
if thatâs the point then itâs wrong.
Right so copper was discovered after fires died down, melted out of the ore rocks in the pits. Thatâs how we discovered it and the provess
how did we discover wood. imagine who was looking at trees going, i bet if i chop that fucker down iâd have a fire and a nice cabinet. they also had to convince like at least 2 other people to help them do this, too.
Before clothes were invented, everyone was just totally naked all the time.
Probably Mordaunt and maybe Leadsom? Iâm not giving an axe to Gove or Grayling.
shut. up.
copper is naturally occurring. people just found it, they didnât have to refine ore to get it. and like sad says, they found gold first anyways. but that wasnât even the point.
âif wood canât melt metal, metal canât be meltedâ seemed to be the point of the tweet. which i thought was dumb. cba with this any more.
wtf is going on here
