given how batman is usually portrayed i can 100% imagine them just standing there staring at each other for hours on end until one decides they lost and hookshots away

huh? ü isn't a greek letter either, the only languages i've seen use it are german and i think turkish, and it's basically just "y"

congratulations, you've realized something that the whole fucking medical field seems unable to wrap their heads around

diagnoses are categories made up so society can have a nice simple box to check on your documents, rather than to actually help the issues people experience. They admit that there's a lot of overlap between all kinds of neurodivergence and then.. ignore that fact

i think it just generally happens with neurodivergence, there can be a lot of infantilization and since society has few considerations for differences it's more difficult to be self-sufficient, which makes you feel less adult.

no, the closest equivalent is "me"

i believe toothache would be the least of your problems, chronic exposure to white phosphorous will give you fossy jaw which.. just straight up kills the jaw and makes it fall off, at least they don't have to go out of their way to remove it! yay..

you can use wood ash, it won't be a very wholesome or good soap but it gets the job done and is easy to make. Though of course if it's easy to make then why would people buy much of it from you?

I think it wouldn't be too hard to convince people to use it for cleaning off obvious messes, way harder to convince them that "oh you see actually diseases are caused by these tiny creatures you can't see, but trust me they're there and my product will get rid of them!".

afaik one person is far from enough to set of an entire pandemic, especially with a much lower population density and no rapid transport.

it's feasible that they doom a village and get hunted down, though.

the real trick is to find some appliation for the technology that is easy enough to build that you don't need later advancements to pull it off, yet useful enough that anyone is actually going to bother doing it.

or like, be really good at marketing

to be fair i think the fact that it started in the US is quite vital to it taking off, if you tried it in mainland europe the local priest would come over like a mafioso and politely explain that if you were to have an unfortunate accident then your soul would be spending eternity in hell.

ah yes the famous hunter-gatherers of the 14th century..

considering the modern population distribution, the vast majority of people would end up in places that were large urban areas even back then.
