  1. Kid living 2700 years ago: *”Dad, we’re so poor and starving. What can we eat?”*

    Dad: *”Let’s eat this lump of mouldy congealed milk. And make sure you drink from the flask of fermented water, not the pond – best to try to avoid literally liquid-pooping yourself to death.”*

    Scientists 2700 years later: *”They were artisans who crafted luxury blue cheese and beers, just like us!”*

    Edit: Relax, I’m joking. I love history.
