Also mistaken for fulgurite by the more naturalistically minded, apparently. Maybe most common in the Nordics, based on viking references?

It’s amazing to put into perspective how long both bronze and stone ages really took, especially compared to modernity. Human brains are not good at imagining large quantities or intervals, so it was all kinda smushed up into a folder labeled “past” in my head
To give some numbers, the last period of the stone age (Neolithic) lasted around 2000 years and the bronze age around 1600 years. No wonder they “forgot” what the stone age tools were.
Someone pointed a temperature gun (for Covid testing) at me and for a brief moment, I forgot what they were.
When they’re uncovered 100 years from now, they’ll think we shot lasers at each other.
Don’t we though?
Yeah but they’re lazers, totally different.
lol, I love that instance name
