I was wondering what people think about human achievements. I mean discoveries, inventions, or other things.
Despite all great things we have done, especially in the 20th century, I believe the most important of them all is toilet.

Well it seems to me that the greatest human achievement, up to this point, is
that enough of the buggers have been born, survived and reproduced that
eventually I came along.
Forgot surrogate gods and feared turtles. :)
Curious that nobody gives any credit so far to cloning. After toilet, I believe it's the most important achievement.

I've seen a show on this matter. They stated that the greatest achievement of the 20th century was the ability to generate large volumes of affordable electricity, which reduced the amount of time that people had to spend in darkness around the country and led to the brighter future for us all (no pun intended.)
Imo, it's either that or pr0n :) .
Never underestimate turtles and gods :) .Quote:
