Ask Questions Here

I have a passion for understanding our amazing world, and also where we came from.

What do you find curious? Have you ever wondered how people took care of their nails long ago? Or perhaps how kissing started? Or how intelligent dolphins are?

I am too! I would love trying to find the best answer to any questions you may have. Hopefully someday, I might even take the best questions and answers and create a book out of it. In the meantime, please do ask me any questions you may have.

I am most interested in:

  • History (especially how we did common things in the past)
  • Science (latest research, what the consensus is, the history of what we've known, etc)
But if you have other questions that you are curious about, either comment below or send me an email.

I'm not interested in politics, so I'd prefer to refrain from that area.

Also, feel free to ask questions more directly related to HDC, such as atheism, religion, etc.

Thanks!

  3. how do Amish people do anything? I once took a tour and saw an iron stove. where the *@$& did they get iron? Do they have hidden iron mines? How would they melt it into a shape, even if they got it?

    For that matter, how do we even melt metal into a shape? I know we use a mold made of a substance that does not liquify at the same temperature, but how did we make the first mold? With another mold? There can't be an infinite string!
