I often think about how amazing it is to have indoor plumbing. Not having to pump water out of the ground manually or worse, having to drop a bucket in a well is such a luxury. Not to mention being able to take a shit without having to go outside
Reading a book, Frostbite about the truly historically recency of constant, mechanical, cooling. I’m only a few chapters in and it’s a classic already, reminds me a bit of fast food nation.
Humans have understood ice but didn’t master it until the last 150 years…really only a few generations and it completely changed what we eat, how we live and what we perceived as normal. There is a global food supply chain of cold storage and transportation that starts at a source and ends up in your fridge.
