We only know about when humans mastered fire or started using metal. But we know the exact date when the first powered flight took place. What are some really early “first ____” we know the date of for sure?

Shout-out to my man Ea-Nasir over at !reallyshittycopper@lemmy.world !
Do you think Ea-Nasir would be ashamed that people over 3 millennia later are learning about how shitty his copper was, or would he be proud that people still speak his name?
That’s a tough one! He clearly didn’t care much about the reputation of his business, and in fact the only reason we know of him at all is that he saved the complaints he got! Most of us will have our names spoken for the last time when our children die; being remembered at all beyond, say, 100 years after your death is a heck of an accomplishment.
I dunno, we’re just assuming he kept them for the sick pleasure of it. Maybe he was collecting evidence before he lodged a formal complaint with his material supplier?
Or he could have had an excellent product and kept the complaints in the same way people nowadays with excellent products show off the idiot one star reviews.
That’s a possibility!
And people say there’s no niche communities on Lemmy.
It’s low-volume, but one of my favorites.
Low volume and high quality, unlike ea nasir’s copper
Bazinga!
