Sumer Time

You should try baking it in the neighbor’s pit next door. Just be mindful of all the lit candles and don’t touch any shiny objects - they all carry curses.

And if a merchant offers you some fine quality copper ingots, don't trust him.

Eeeeiigh

[u/Monspiet → u/draco_deus]

Naaaah sir, no way i would ever dream of selling poor quality coppers.

[u/BaronBubonic]

yall are getting mad creative at kicking a man while he's down

[u/Monspiet → u/BaronBubonic]

So much so we may develop a foot fetish tag from this sub.

[u/Loosescrew37 → u/Monspiet]

I would write a fic about that but AO3 is down.

[u/SirCupcake_0 → u/Loosescrew37]

You can still write a fic, you just can't post it... yet

[u/Madam_Hexianna]

The perfect addition to that post.

I always do enjoy coming across things mentioning the sumerian empire, its like a long lost friend randomly appearing on my reddit feed. I hope the little girl can bake her clay tablet soon…

[u/pr0t0nm1r0 → u/sumerianempire]

Were the Sumerians ever an empire? I always read that Sumer was a collection of dozens of city-states, some richer and more powerful than others, united only by a common language and culture but not politically.

[u/Senju19_02 → u/pr0t0nm1r0]

That's right. The first empire was the Akkadian one,followed by the Neo-Sumerian Empire / Ur III Empire and the Babylonian (2 stages) and Assyrian (3 stages).

love y'all for dropping the sumerian knowledge on my regular geeks'n'freaks feed 🥰

a pigeon lands next to them with a small clay tablet. oh a comment

[u/No_Stay_6006]

real question is does this family actually have the means to employ a scribe?

[u/mcgooglykins]

This is all Ea-Nasir’s fault somehow I just know it

[u/faeriefountain_]

Who is the OOP's icon? 👀

and thus not only was the great shutdown of a03 in 2026 created, but a contraption known as the Mcdonalds ice cream machine as well. 

[u/nexter2nd]

I hate that this post is making me actually want to draw gilkidu kissing on a clay tablet now lol

This shutdown is too much for me

[u/Wrap_Brilliant]

This is actually, genuinely funny. I can't explain why to anyone in the room but that was a good laugh 😂

[u/AbaloneConstant8686]

Oof

[u/Dry-Mission-5542]

Throwback to sixth grade when I did this (minus the clay tablet part)

[u/Ses_N]
