@hannah@posts.rat.pictures wikipedia rabbit holes are cool. ideally fueled by caffeine but you wind up some time later learning about shadow-traders buildings required a human soul in the foundation murder was out of style so this profession involved measuring stranger's shadows- the stranger was unaware of this. you sell the measurements to an architect, who would bury the measurements in a building's foundation. it was believed the stranger would soon die then you close wikipedia 😳 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornerstone#History
