@glaebhoerl This is beautifwl:
"For most of its being, mankind did not know what things are made of, but could only guess. With the growth of worldken, we began to learn, and today we have a beholding of stuff and work that watching bears out, both in the workstead and in daily life."
@glaebhoerl You a conlanger by any chance? Question out of the blue; I just noticed you had two conlanger-vibey toots.
@rime Nah. I casually enjoy this kind of thing (also e.g. https://xkcd.com/1322, and some of the stuff from Anathem), but I'm not that hardcore.
