What are some clever inventions you are thankful for? They can be new or ones you use everyday that make life so much easier or are just beneficial

For me, the washing machine, because washing by hand would take forever
Internet forums, because I get to have real time conversations to people from all over the world
Physical Paper books, because reading by scrolls isnt that easy
Sneakers, with comfy soles because shoes can actually be tough yet comfortable
Refridgerators and freezers, because I can have fresh food that will keep and I dont have to go out shopping/gathering evrryday or worry that it will go off

Im going to try a new one its washable menstrual underwear...sorry men you dont really want to know what a hassle pads can be or tampons. And how much waste is made disposing of them plus all the plastic.

From Tennessee, where we are just getting into the hot season, I gotta vote for air conditioners. It doesn't get as hot here as in the desert southwest, but it ain't no dry heat. On a hot day we love us some AC.

The toilet with the flush handle

Imagine going back in time then toilets weren't invented yet :sick:


Nail clippers, I would like to go back in time and share the invention, which can help advance civilization sooner

The wheel, no need to reinvent it

The microwave, convenience!

If you are using a microwave, originally called a radar range, then you are poisoning yourself.

I dunno... the physicist who noticed the chocolate bar melting in his pocket didn't seem adversely affected, and he got a lot more microwave dosage than anybody reheating food at home will ever get.

The electro-magnetic fields produced by them might cause cancer though, if you sleep on a running microwave every night for a few years.

EM fields from phones will probably kill us first though.

I see some of the happiest people resting on these @ big events they may otherwise not have attended.

They are a blessing for many, I have trouble understanding why we cannot or will not access the free gift of healing Jesus paid for 2000 years ago at the whipping post.
We were never intended to die of any illness, it is an attack of the adversary.
