Preindustrial travel, and long explanations on why different distances are like that
I saw a post on my main blog about how hiking groups need to keep pace with their slowest member, but many hikers mistakenly think that the point of hiking is “get from Point A to Point B as fast as possible” instead of “spending time outdoors in nature with friends,” and then they complain that a new/less-experienced/sick/disabled hiker is spoiling their time-frame by constantly needing breaks, or huffing and puffing to catch up.
I run into a related question of “how long does it take to travel from Point A to Point B on horseback?” a lot, as a fantasy writer who wants to be SEMI-realistic; in the Western world at least, our post-industrial minds have largely forgotten what it’s like to travel, both on our own feet and in groups.
People ask the new writer, “well, who in your cast is traveling? Is getting to Point B an emergency or not? What time of year is it?”, and the newbies often get confused as to why they need so much information for “travel times.” Maybe new writers see lists of “preindustrial travel times” like a primitive version of Google Maps, where all you need to do is plug in Point A and Point B.
But see, Google Maps DOES account for traveling delays, like different routes, constructions, accidents, and weather; you as the person will also need to figure in whether you’re driving a car versus taking a bus/train, and so you’ll need to figure out parking time or waiting time for the bus/train to actually GET THERE.
The difference between us and preindustrial travelers is that 1) we can outsource the calculations now, 2) we often travel for FUN instead of necessity.
The general rule of thumb for preindustrial times is that a healthy and prime-aged adult on foot, or a rider/horse pair of fit and prime-aged adults, can usually make 20-30 miles per day, in fair weather and on good terrain.
Why is this so specific? Because not everyone in preindustrial times was fit, not everyone was healthy, not everyone was between the ages of 20-35ish, and not everyone had nice clear skies and good terrain to travel on.
If you are too far below 18 years old or too far past 40, at best you will need either a slower pace or more frequent breaks to cover the same distance, and at worst you’ll cut the travel distance in half to 10 or so miles. Too much walking is VERY BAD on too-young/old knees, and teenagers or very short adults may just have short legs even if they’re fine with 8-10 hours of actual walking. Young children may get sick of walking and pitch a fit because THEY’RE TIREDDDDDDDDDD, and then you might need to stay put while they cry it out, or an adult may sigh and haul them over their shoulder (and therefore be weighed down by about 50lbs of Angry Child).
Heavy forests, wetlands and rocky hills/mountains are also going to be a much shorter “distance.” For forests or wetlands, you have to account for a lot of villagers going “who’s gonna cut down acres of trees for one road? NOT ME,” or “who’s gonna drain acres of swamp for one road? NOT ME.” Mountainous regions have their traveling time eaten by going UP, or finding a safer path that goes AROUND.
If you are traveling in winter or during a rainstorm (and this inherently means you HAVE NO CHOICE, because nobody in preindustrial times would travel in bad weather if they could help it), you run the high risk of losing your way and then dying of exposure or slipping and breaking your neck, just a few miles out of the town/village.
And now for the upper range of “traveling on horseback!”
Fully mounted groups can usuallymake 30-40 miles per day between Point A and Point B, but I find there are two unspoken requirements: “Point B must have enough food for all those people and horses,” and “the mounted party DOESN’T need to keep pace with foot soldiers, camp followers, or supply wagons.”
This means your mounted party would be traveling to 1) a rendezvous point like an ally’s camp or a noble’s castle, or 2) a town/city with plenty of inns. Maybe they’re not literally going 30-40 miles in one trip, but they’re scouting the area for 15-20 miles and then returning to their main group. Perhaps they’d be going to an allied village, but even a relatively small group of 10-20 warhorses will need 10-20 pounds of grain EACH and 20-30 pounds of hay EACH. 100-400 pounds of grain and 200-600 pounds of hay for the horses alone means that you need to stash supplies at the village beforehand, or the village needs to be a very large/prosperous one to have a guaranteed large surplus of food.
A dead sprint of 50-60 miles per day is possible for a preindustrial mounted pair, IF YOU REALLY, REALLY HAVE TO. Moreover, that is for ONE day. Many articles agree that 40 miles per day is already a hard ride, so 50-60 miles is REALLY pushing the envelope on horse and rider limits.
NOTE: While modern-day endurance rides routinely go for 50-100 miles in one day, remember that a preindustrial rider will not have the medical/logistical support that a modern endurance rider and their horse does.
If you say “they went fifty miles in a day” in most preindustrial times, the horse and rider’s bodies will get wrecked. Either the person, their horse, or both, risk dying of exhaustion or getting disabled from the strain.
Whether you and your horse are fit enough to handle it and “only” have several days of defenselessness from severe pain/fatigue (and thus rely on family/friends to help you out), or you die as a heroic sacrifice, or you aren’t QUITE fit enough and become disabled, or you get flat-out saved by magic or another rider who volunteers to go the other half, going past 40 miles in a day is a “Gondor Calls For Aid” level of emergency.
As a writer, I feel this kind of feat should be placed VERY carefully in a story: Either at the beginning to kick the plot off, at the climax to turn the tide, or at the end.
Preindustrial people were people–some treated their horses as tools/vehicles, and didn’t care if they were killed or disabled by pushing them to their limits, but others very much cared for their horses. They needed to keep them in working condition for about 15-20 years, and they would not dream of doing this without a VERY good reason.
All of this, with one additional nudge : even the people who thought of horses as I think of my car often cared intensely about the possibility of killing or disabling a horse by mishandling it. I would personally be furious if some feckless wastrel took my car and raced it over uneven ground so that it the suspension was shot to hell and the car had to be totaled and sold for parts. And I do not drive a nice car!
Today, we tend to think of horses as cheap to buy and expensive to maintain because those are the real incentive costs in a modern economy. In much of human history, though, horses were EXPENSIVE — that’s a big reason that we associate them to heavily with nobility! Other draft livestock are going to be even slower—good luck making quick time on a donkey or an ox cart—and harder to convince to move quickly for extended periods. And if you’re carrying supplies or any substatial weight? You’ll be lucky to get ten miles, and twenty will be a feat of extraordinary effort akin to a rider doing forty or fifty.
thanks @bmoharrisbankofficial but unfortunately i can’t focus on the very important message here because i’m too busy being confused by the fact that apparently if you send an ask with only one letter tumblr will bold that letter in the “asked you” notification text?? why the fuck would that be the case
all you fucking perverts drawing pokemon with bellybuttons are in for the goddamn reckoning
they are hatched from eggs
“The yolk stalk is similar to the umbilical cord, and it also dries up once the baby hatches as it is no longer needed. So, yes, animals that come from eggs do have a belly button scar, but it is usually so tiny that you would have difficulty seeing it.” - source
Your honor. It’s true that a first glance at the evidence would suggest my client was responsible. But let’s look a little further, shall we?
I have here a reverse image search for the crime scene as well as my client’s photo.
And if you look closely at the results…
The blogs and dates don’t match.
My client has been framed!
And why? Because their iconic “mischievous smile” makes for a funnier post, of course. But nothing, not even Tumblr notes, is more important than the truth!
I present to you: The original unaltered post and the true culprit!
does anyone have that picture of that fucked up looking white kitten that looks like this
Her name is Nimbus and she grew up to look like this
(ID: three images. first, a simple drawing, solely lineart, of a small cat, its back arched and eyes squinted. its fur is messy and raised.
second, a real life picture of a kitten much like the drawing. it’s white and has long, messy fur. its eyes are a bit swollen and squinted.
final image, an adult cat looking towards the camera, its fur white with some beige hints, and appearing soft and shiny. it wears a collar with a pink pendant. End ID)
This is actually hella interesting, bc in simple terms, tigers are extroverts and lions are introverts. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.
Whenever zoo’s tried to put lions and tigers in the same enclosures, the tiger would eventually try to groom the lioness and play constantly. The lioness would lose patience and snaps at them
So basically what I’m saying is that you have a regal and refined gf who stands at the edge of a balcony during parties, sipping champagne
Then you have the other girl who drank all of the little flutes on the servers platter, and is now drunkenly pointing at her gf and telling everyone that that’s her gf and doesn’t she look beautiful I love her so much
So I had to draw them in human form???
You drew them in the corresponding ethnicities for their Geographic locations!!! Bless you, you have no idea how sick and tired I am of white human lion king characters.

Seeing this post just suddenly and violently awakened a memory in me that I didn’t realize I had, and I feel the need to share it with yall now so here you go.
When I was in 3rd grade I had a group of friends who I would roleplay warrior cats on the playground with at my after school program. Running around the soccer field on my hands and knees pretending to chase other cats off my territory was literally my childhood. And we had this thing called the birthing stick, that was basically this one random stick that whenever someone in our clan was giving birth they would put in their mouth and bite it as hard as they fucking could.
And so one day one of my friends decided they wanted kits, and so they fell on the ground and screamed that they were giving birth. I was the medicine cat at the time, so it was my job to go grab the stick. So you know, the birthing stick was pretty big stick, it was about an inch thick and pretty long. But apparently our constant biting on this stick must have worn it down or something because this stick just fucking snaps.
A few pieces of wood fly though the air, and everyone starts freaking out because she just snapped a stick in half in her mouth. And its while were freaking our that we realize that as the stick left her mouth it left her with a few splinters embedded in her gums.
The teachers ended up having to call her parents, and she had to go to an emergency care to get the splinters removed. The teachers then spent 30 minutes clearing the field of any and all sticks on it, before any of the other kids would try to eat them. From that point on a rule was made that you weren’t allowed to have sticks at aftercare anymore, and if you found them you were required to throw them over the fence. For the rest of the school year none of the other kids wanted to play with us because they thought we had been trying to eat sticks.
hes literally having a mental breakdown over how much everyone hates him and how he hates himself too but okay
???? he’s literally just a baby pig trying to survive??? like I guess charlotte writing stuff to trick people into protecting him could be seen as “manipulative” but she’s doing it to keep him alive and it’s not like he even asked her to do it. did this person even read the fucking book or do y'all just want to hate Wilbur because he has a healthy relationship with a caring mother figure?
this is the best day of my entire fucking life
Y'all are getting emotionally manipulated in Minecraft?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

At this point I’m starting to think it’s just an internet ARG where people collectively make shit up to fuck with us
hey notajerusalemcricket, i need you to understand that at one point tumblr DID actually fake a whole children’s television show using the Squiddles from homestuck so… the opposite of your reblog has already happened
hm ?
Homestuck is the demonic ghost Haunting the old decrepit House of Tumblr, and new tumblrites are the unsuspecting buyers who thought the house was “quaint” and “full of charm” and never questioned why it was dirt cheap

Now, the number of pairings doesn’t make a series great, its the story itself that makes it great. However, if a shipping war were to break out between Homestuck and Naruto, if we went by the number of possible ships, Naruto would win. By a LANDSLIDE.
There is 840 Homestuck characters, not including alternate timeline versions of characters, and tricksters, and many others, and that is only listing the characters who have a full wiki page. Not including selfcest, there are an infinite amount of ships, because you can not only ship them in love, but in Homestuck, you can ship them in moiraillegiance, kismesitude, and auspisticeship, which is OT3s. Naruto may have 18 extra characters, but we have four seperate ways we can ship each ship! And for auspisticising, each three of the characters involved can play the part of the auspistice! Homestuck has infinite ways to ship, and sorry, but would beat Naruto.
i ship homestuck <3< naruto now
I just thought I’d point this out… The number of ships the Naruto fandom claims to have is absurd and clearly a gross miscalculation.
For the sake of my mind, we’re going to assume that in all cases the nature of consent and requisition does not play a factor in the ship, but rather if two characters are together in a certain kind of relationship then that is representative of that ship as a statistic. We are also going to exclude 3-ways, and only acknowledge P as a variable represented by a number other than 2 when concerning an Auspistic relationship.
If we establish our variables to be {N = the number of characters in a fandom}, {P = the number of participants involved in a particular paring} and {S = the number of romantic ways to ship any characters}, then the formula for calculating the number of ships in a fandom ought to adhere to follows:
((N^P) - N)*S if we chose not to include self-cest (which in this case we will given that Naruto and Homestuck are both prone to some form of duplication shenanigan or another) making our final equation (N^P)S
(858^2)1 = 736,164 This number represents the total number of potential ships within the Naruto fandom where N = 858 and P = 2 and S = 1
Now when we look at Homestuck, the numbers stack up differently because we have to account for all four of the romantic quadrants. Because The Auspistic quadrant will have a different P value than the other three quadrants, it will be calculated separately.
This gives Homestuck just over half a billion potential ships where as Naruto doesn’t even reach one million.
This doesn’t even begin to take into account ships involving quadrant vacillation which would more than quadruple the number of ships in the Homestuck fandom.
Next time check your basic math before you post.
ouch
reblogging purely because this person went ahead and made a shipping equation and that is just awesome
this is the only math problem i will ever appreciate.
There was actually a really popular book about being pretty close with 12 people. I won’t tell you how it ends, but let’s just say the main character is in a better place now.

btw Saint Nicholas, whom Santa Claus is based on, was a black guy
and we don’t know exactly what jesus looked like, but here’s an artistic reconstruction of an average 20-something male from his ethnic group at the time
DOES THIS LOOK FUCKING WHITE TO YOU
I want this post everywhere
jesus was represented more or less accurately as an ethnically jewish arab man up until the reign of pope alexander vi, in the late 15th century. since he was viciously persecuting roman jews during this time, alexander wanted to make them less sympathetic to the public, and did so in part by ordering that portrayals of jesus be based off of his son, cesare borgia.
the reason “jesus is white” is because someone purposefully attempted to alter the perception of history to benefit his goal of persecuting a targeted ethnic group.
Oh hey it’s back on my dash perfect! I was just thinking of this the other day!

IT WASN’T JUST ANY OLD DUDE WHO DECIDED, “HEY I WANT TO CREATE A KOREAN ALPHABET.”
IT WAS KING SEJONG, WHO ORDERED HIS ROYAL SCHOLARS TO CREATE THIS ALPHABET SO READING AND WRITING COULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE PEASANTS. IT WAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO LEARN.
SO SHOUT OUT TO KING SEJONG, WHO REALIZED BEFORE MANY OTHERS THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSAL LITERACY.
Oh hey it’s back on my dash perfect! I was just thinking of this the other day!

Institutions within the settler colony of “australia” are becoming fearful of mass mobilisation, cross-coalitions, and resistance against state power and zionism. In response, white supremacy and the elite are systematically clamping down to silence all forms of Palestinian resistance.
This living document is an effort to collectivise calls to action from Palestinian activists and cross-solidarity movements within so-called australia. Also outlined are general advice and grassroots community knowledge to keep each other safe and held.
Now, more than ever, we can not slow down or falter in our solidarity with Palestinian liberation!

admittedly my understanding of las vegas may be a bit distorted by only seeing it in movies and also when people complain about it online, but it seems that it’s some kind of city-sized torture device where the spectre of advertising is ritualistically summoned into an orb in the middle of a very hot desert and then it attacks everyone living there all of the time while they gamble to keep their mind off it

Sun belt urban design is a unique hell on earth and Las Vegas may be the most horrifying example of that kind of settlement.
she knocked that smug look off my face but luckily i was wearing a second, smaller smug look underneath
This post is so incredibly dumb and everytime I come across it I just can’t help but laugh. This site is just magical. Where else will you get this nonsense?
