good stuff!

After eating, when do you digest food the fastest, laying down, sitting or standing? in c/[email protected]

walking > standing > sitting > lying down

Walking digests food fastest (obviously because you are moving your body/burning calories), and lying down digests foods most slowly. Gravity is also working against you to an extent

You kidding me? Not weird to have PTSD at all. Your conscious brain might have shrugged it off but your body remembers the whole "I could have died" feeling.

Was the intention of the Rosetta Stone to preserve history? in c/[email protected]

Not sure - you'd have to do some research on what that article is referencing. Search "Decree of Memphis" - that's essentially what's written on the Rosetta Stone.

For the history of those decrees you may want to look into "Ptolemaic decrees"

The stone was a part of a steele that was displayed in a temple.

The translated text is essentially an announcement or decree for a new Egyptian regime, and wasn't necessarily written with the intent to preserve history.

The reason why it's in three languages is because each of those languages served a different purpose.

"hieroglyphs (suitable for a priestly decree), Demotic (the cursive Egyptian script used for daily purposes, meaning 'language of the people'), and Ancient Greek (the language of the administration – the rulers of Egypt at this point were Greco-Macedonian after Alexander the Great's conquest."

You can read more about it here or do your own research. https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-rosetta-stone

Wow. That last sentence was pretty chilling. I have to imagine that after adhering to such a demanding lifestyle your entire life the suffering becomes something you almost hold on to.

Had a really nice Jade tea today (oolong) (lemmy.world)
 

Recently tried a batch of new tea leaves (Jade/Oolong) and the first brew was so good, it made me think about sharing it with a larger community.

The flavor profile of Jade is floral, light and slightly sweet.

I did about 4 grams of tea with 300 ml of water (200 degrees F/ 93 C).

Brewed for about 4 minutes.

I wish I could upload the smell on this post!

Highly recommend y'all try this tea - also as always, if you're looking to buy, whole leaf single origin is the way to go. I'm doing this gongfu style, so hoping to get another good 5-6 brews out of this.

Also, I'm coming from Reddit, and noticed the tea community here is much smaller than the tea sub.

Hoping this community continues to grow~
