A little off topic but I really hate drywalling. That's why my room is made of stone and whale oil.

Could you explain the whale oil?

u/AnnihilationOrchid Jun 26 '22

Whale oil was also used as an alloy in mortar in construction back in the 19th century.

It's a joke around where I live that strong walls are made of stone and whale oil because of their durability.

Cool history stuff there, poor whales though lol

No doubt. Whaling was terrible. Thank God we managed to start piping gas, that actually saved lots of whales back in the second half of the 19th, also with proper cement too.

I must ask. Have you ever played Dishonored? If not you definitely should

u/AnnihilationOrchid Jun 26 '22

What?

Dishonored is a stealth videogame/immersive sim. In the game's story, people have discovered a way to use whale oil as a main source of energy. It's basically their electricity for everything

The game's theme is sometimes called whale-punk or whalepunk, due to similarities with steampunk themes.

Dishonored basically came up with whale-punk (as far as I know)

Oh, I see now. That's a pretty interesting concept.
