Was There a Civilization On Earth Before Humans?
good find :up:

Quote
our work also opened up the speculative possibility that some planets might have fossil-fuel-driven cycles of civilization building and collapse. If a civilization uses fossil fuels, the climate change they trigger can lead to a large decrease in ocean oxygen levels. These low oxygen levels (called ocean anoxia) help trigger the conditions needed for making fossil fuels like oil and coal in the first place. In this way, a civilization and its demise might sow the seed for new civilizations in the future.

Some very amusing ones there (pork! holy mother...)

I don't particularly like mint myself (not even as tea). Over the years, my favourite toothpastes have been:
  • Salt
  • Calendula (marigold) - from waleda, I could eat this one
  • Fennel (from kingfisher) probably my favourite for a clean aftertaste
