And at some point the establishment decides to pay healthcare workers scraps and disastrously privatized american Healthcare

Can you imagine being handed a few shiney rocks and being asked to make that? Would not know how to even start.

Form follows function, so of course they are similar. The did the same job.

I use that tool on the left to scratch my back sometimes.

Didn't need such precision when the unanesthetized patients were squirming and flailing in pain.

Both opium and mandrake were used in concentration to induce anesthesia during Roman surgeries.

So convergent evolution can be applied to tools?
palmo
.... No. Modern western tools are just more precise versions of old Roman tools.
MacClay
Yes.
No

But everyone who had these tools used on them is dead now. How good could they be?

I mean....I bet they had more time on their hand and more *cough* motivation

Fascinating!

If it's not Baroque, don't fix it.

I hope that in 2000+yrs, the Magma people remember us with this kind of reverence and not all the other legit bullshit we fucked up.

Doubt it, all those millions of Funko Pops and phone cases still won't have biodegraded and there'll be a doc handling them with disgust. :)
Let me be eternally known for my geek girl commitment as evidenced by my She-Ra, Rogue, Hermione, Evil Queen, and Scarlet Witch funko pops
WanderingWithoutADestination
Holy shit. That’s wild.
theheebs25
nah. pretty sure these were domestic

What's even wilder is that the Romans got their medicine from Ancient Egypt, where it was effectively already a true science.

It's theorized that lathes were so common in Rome that they weren't documented. The only accounts we have are offhand mentions of them 1/2
In the same way you would refer to a car now. Nothing fantastic or magical, just mentioned like "yeah I needed some lathe work done". 2/2

Honestly I thought I was looking at lace bobbins or something at first - then the row of beautifully turned instruments at the end of the >

Why isn't that dude wearing gloves!
Cotton gloves aren't needed for handling every artefact. In fact for manuscripts the oils on your skin are good for the parchment.
PTNLemay
I remember reading that gloves increase the risk of dropping an artifact. Which means overall the skin oils are less harmful than the drops
MinistryOfSillyTalks
You could just put a pillow under it...
billyjonas
And as a guitar player, the length of this person’s fingernails…
Algebraicrhombus
He's got fleshy tips though. On my fingers, that would definitely be too much nail.
GruntThumper
I was going to say that… historical pieces like that need protecting from the oils and other contaminants in our skin.
There are definitely better oils to use you preserve these pieces than skin oil.

I have some ancient coins that are pretty durable. It really is dependent on the material, but they built these things to last!
WinstonSmith101
They’re metal. Metal and stone don’t need gloves. Parchment does, ignore the other fucking fool who said otherwise.
DeadyBearr
Except that you're more likely to rip while wearing gloves so some professionals forgo the gloves.
rutheyinabq11
He's not doing surgery.
BreakneckSloth
Welp, a mangaka somewhere in Japan is writing an isekai based on this knowledge.
fouchagalaga
Yeah totally.
Lurkylew
Break it down for me, what does this mean?
s3anister
Mangaka = manga creator. "Isekai" translates to different world or otherworld, but in general is a whole genre of parallel reality works.
Cool thanks
Protagonist travels to a different (fantastical) world. I'm guessing this would be inspiring travel to a world based on ancient Rome.
Fantastic, thanks

It's going to be 120 volumes long. You'll NEVER catch up fully.
TheMovieGalaxyQuest
I just finished one that was 1400 chapters
Wow! How long did that take you?
About two months, but it was very busy months in which I couldn't read much
I told a guy about the novel when I was at 400, and he overtook me within a week, and then finished it when I was around 800...
