This is the type of humor im here for

Every good copper merchant in time has already been forgotten since long ago. But this one... Eternal in all his glorious shittyness
jimicus
We know that Ea-Nasir kept several such complaints.
What we don’t know is why. It’s possible he sold perfectly good copper but had occasional customers trying it on.

Poppypoppoppop
For sure, in a future where time machine was invented, someone volunteered to go back in time just to slap Ea-Nasir in the face
theskepticinme
No. In the modern world we source metal stock from a foundry. They are responsible for ensuring the purity of the metal they sell.

Stop killing animals for meat! Get it at the store instead!
Stop goimg to the mines for copper! Get it at the foundry instead!
FjordFiskursson
How do you know? I mean, it sounds plausible, but can you point at some modern copper thing and say you know that it contains ancient copper, and, if so, how do you know?
swedeonamoose
Dont know how you would prove it but i remember seeing some docu years ago that claimed 80% of all copper ever mined is still in use today.

Well behaved copper ingot merchants rarely make history
JustinArnold
Its the same with everything. Average gets forgotten. Only really good or really bad gets remembered.

Now we chuck it in landfills and don't get it back.

like hell - telcos recoup the cost of migrating to fiber by selling the recovered high purity copper wires

Nah. It gets shipped to some third world country where 'so-called "pickers" sift through the soil at e-waste dumps to find small pieces of precious metals'. That is, after they burn off all the useless plastic and whatnot of the waste. Easy. Kids are queuing up for the job.

So... The local garbage peeps pull it out and send it away? Because pretty sure most people just toss it without sending it the proper way...

Man how far back to you have to go back to be PRE BC? Can you go so far that you come back around the other side?
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
Only 2025 years
KommanderKayriel
2026 years.
AbolishNuance
It's possible they're using it as "birth of Christ"
jridley
Yes. BC is all the time before that. Pre-BC must be before the big bang?
Markuspsyches
AbolishNuance mean if the "B" was incorrectly used for Birth instead of Before like it is intended, than pre Birth of Christ could make a little sense.

How would you make the head of an engine out of copper? And wouldn't it bend because copper is so ductile? Aluminum is what loves cracking. I'm also wondering how anything is solid copper and not worth like 1/2 the value of the car. The oxidation and tolerances would probably be terrible.
ChiefRunningFridge
Nvm scrap copper is only like $10 per kg.
ChiefRunningFridge
That just makes crackheads even sadder.
swedeonamoose
Tbh i think the person might have just gotten things mixed upp, copper head gaskets are a thing but ye i dont think i have ever seen a copper head.
ChiefRunningFridge
Ye head gasket makes sense cuz sealing washers and ductility.

They say you only truly die when the last person forgets your name. Ea-nāṣir just floating in the afterlife begging to move on.

And we'll keep the rat-bastard there for as long as we can.

I'm thinking more that he WAS forgotten pretty quick in his modern time. Then passed on.
Fast forward and all of a sudden everyone is remembering him and now it's all awkward. Do they make him go back to the in-between and wait some more after being able to move on?
Or, if reincarnated, does the universe kill off the reincarnated person he's currently in once his former self is remembered and then make him wait?
Now, if reincarnation is true, which is your true self that is required to wait?
TheMightyMollusk
How long until he shows up in a Fate game as an anime waifu?
TheOldSchoolisBack
Already has
mikeatike
He name was probably forgotten until his stash of complaint letters were discovered. So its like a resurrection
Hevach
There was some reddit writing prompt about an afterlife where everyone has a number over their head showing how many living people remember them. One response is Ea Nasir, who was 0 for longer than he could comprehend until suddenly his number starts going up and up until it's one of the largest around and everyone is like, "What the fuck did you DO?"
darthstormer
"Fuckin crybaby Nanni and those damn complaint letters"
stultusaur
I just imagine time passed. He thinking “what the fuck is taking so long?” Then bam. Modern memes and now he can’t rest.
PimpinKen
Or worse, you get dragged away from blissful slumber if you are ever remembered by enough people. Just being ripped from a peaceful 4000 year long nap over a gods-damned meme
ThinkThisOut
But we see him with the little people after you eat the mushrooms- this is reference to a super cool article posted here recently and I can’t recall any other details except my imagination went wild reading it!
stev231
you should try finding some of that mushroom, safely, of course.
Nellisir
That was a WILD article.
Evenmoreuselessname
I think they're a little confused... no engine I know of has a copper head... they probably had a copper head gasket that failed and led to the head cracking. That 78 Volvo had a red block, most likely. It's a cast iron block with an aluminum head.
Etherealvalentine
My 78 impala engine is red and it's sitting in my c10 :D
satsukeshi
Exactly this, redblocks (e.g. the b230, or more likely with this case, the b21) used aluminum heads with iron blocks (painted red).
mygogglestheydonothing
Okay, but just to be clear, they can still blame Ea-Nasir?
Evenmoreuselessname
Yes. We can all blame him.
swedeonamoose
Either that or some unholy aftermarket crap
IHateToTurnUpTheVolumeOfMyTvBecauseMyCatIsSnoring
Aluminium is both cheaper to buy and to machine. Big doubt.
Evenmoreuselessname
That would have to be some damn unholy crap. Copper is SOFT. And HEAVY. And EXPENSIVE. Even the thermal conductivity would be a negative as you'd lose extra heat and lose efficiency.
satsukeshi
Nah, the thermal conductivity would have actually been an upgrade. Reduces chances of hotspots, which could cause detonation.
