Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Fascinating! I had to look up

What are wine lees? Lees are leftover yeast particles from autolysis, which is the self-destruction of yeast cells by enzymes created from fermentation. As strange as this may seem, lees are used in white and sparkling wines to add beneficial textures and flavors.

Even more fascinating! Elephantine is, too, for different reasons. 👀

Eta: excuse my lack of manners, please. Thank you for looking it up, for me. 🙂

Oh, any time! I love when a little interest in the subject is sparked, and I'm happy to help in whatever small way I can!

I know we don't always see things the same, but I want you to know I think you're alright.

Same! You're a name I recognize and appreciate the contributions of!

Thanks. I have an insatiable curiosity about most things, it drives people bananas, sometimes myself included.
