I’m kind of sick of being into tech. Everything is riddled with ads and speculative investment. You have to manage your expectations so much because everything has a good likelihood of turning into garbage at a moments notice. It’s just not fun anymore. I know I’m probably a bit nostalgia blinded, but I miss the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s so much. Games were new and interesting, tech was moving at a lightning fast pace, things were fun.

I know it’s more complicated than that, and there are reasons things are how they are, but fuck man. Anyway, off my chest.

You listed one of the most popular historical figures, by far, and some physics/chemistry, which I can assure you is involved in making enormous amounts of money, as someone in the nanotechnology field.

Try finding actually legitimate information regarding Tartaria.

Like I said, try finding actually good information on the real thing, not just ‘debunking’ a bunch of obvious bullshit. People wrote about it as fact before 1911ish, yet it’s almost impossible to find any of that ‘human knowledge’ anywhere online.

Just a few things I’ve managed to find:

An old novel

Britannica has some sparse information

The first edition of the Britanica speaks of it as a ‘vast country’

Clearly there has been a lot written on the subject, but you really have to dig to find even scraps remaining of what people once said of it, which gets overshadowed by popular conspiracy theories as you have shown.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The “good” part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don’t intend to make this a “safe space” where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That’s why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that’s fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
