        We should legalize glue. It’s got other uses besides mind altering experiences.

      I’m pretty sure those didn’t become a regular thing till the 1930s in the earliest. So probably not. That’s also a fair bit over anyone’s safe lifting limits.

        Believe it or not, that’s what dutch clogs (sabots, the teardrop-shaped wooden shoes) were for. They were around as early as the 1500s.

          True! It was pretty much the go-to safety shoes during the industrial revolution, and the agrarian safety shoe long before that. (Gotta spend those long winter nights doing something when you can’t plow the fields)

      Yeah those hook handle things make me super nervous. Seems like that ice would just slip the fuck out.
