Current state of my project to experience all highly notable literature/works.

Hi again. Three weeks ago I posted about a project I'm working on. For those who haven't seen it yet:

>So, I am embarking on an interesting project. I intend to experience the best art and media humanity has to offer before I die. Namely this is all the highly notable and interesting books, plays, art, music, films, TV shows, and video games. I guess you could call it a bucket list. I've been indexing it chronologically and downloading it to an external hard drive.

I then solicited suggestions for highly notable/significant ancient and medieval literature that I was missing from an early draft of what the list would cover. I got over 100 responses; it was clear I was missing a lot. So, I pretty much started from scratch, doing multiple sweeps of any pre-Renaissance literature, and incorporated many of the suggestions I received, ranging from missing individual works to missing authors and cultures.

I should also note that in order to prevent this list from becoming unwieldly, I am limiting myself to 10,000 entries total, forcing myself to take a more deliberate and top-down approach. So far, I have 261 entries for the time span 4000 BC to 1400 AD: 12 Ancient-era, 121 Classical-era, and 128 Medieval-era works. 251 are literature, 10 are music. In other words, 2.61% of the list is Medieval era works or earlier, which seems quite reasonable to me and leaves plenty of room for more modern works spanning across more mediums.

I thought I would share what I have so far before I begin work on more modern stuff. Note that bolded entries are in the top 1,000 works, the cream of the crop, the most notable of all. If you're following along with me and don't want it to take a decade or longer to get through the whole completed list, just sticking to the bolded entries will give you a good taste too.

Ancient Era (4000 BC - 1001 BC)

Year (circa) β€” Title β€” Origin Description
2350 BC β€” Pyramid Texts β€” Egyptian Earliest known ancient Egyptian text that concerns assisting dead spirits
2100 BC β€” The Epic of Gilgamesh β€” Sumerian Earliest surviving notable literature about a mythological king
2058 BC β€” Sumerian King List β€” Sumerian Ancient Sumerian list of city states and rulers, many with impossible reigns of thousands of years
1875 BC β€” Story of Sinuhe β€” Egyptian Considered one of the finest works in ancient Egyptian literature
1753 BC β€” Code of Hammurabi β€” Babylonian Ancient Babylonian legal text that contains many humanitarian clauses
1750 B

[The Great Ceiling] - Part 2

<< Part 1

In 1202 a book is written called Liber Abaci by an Italian mathematician named Leonardo of Pisa, posthumously known as Fibonacci. Part of the book is dedicated to estimating the growth of rabbit populations. In the book, the young mathematician uses what is now known as the Fibonacci sequence.

Originally this sequence was from the Indian Sanskrit prosody. This sequence is a series of numbers where a number is the addition of the last two numbers, starting with 0, and 1

The sequence is seen throughout natureβ€”for example in the number of petals of flowers; many flowers have three petals (like lilies and irises), or five (parnassia, rose hips), eight (cosmea), thirteen (some daisies), twenty-one (chicory), thirty-four, fifty-five or eighty-nine, and so on.

7,778,742,049 is the 49th number in the Fibonacci sequence.

It didn’t take long for the Fibonacci sequence to be connected to our population. Some believe this is a confirmation of god’s work at hand. A divine presence. Some believe that it is proof that we are only part of a simulation. That reality is only a combination of 0's and 1's.

But whatever it is, like the flowers, our petals have reached their maximum limit.

By the end of the day, Carl has informed me that the number of reported pregnancies is 18 million worldwide. Needless to say, it is a busy day for us at the WCO. My wife, Rachael, is trying to contact me, but I am too busy to read, let alone answer, her messages.

When I finally get home, she hands me a glass of wine and I sit down and tell her the astonishing news about what is happening in the world. She listens thoughtfully as I regurgitate all of the different theories that abound within our organization and without.

At the end she simply says, β€œJack, I’m pregnant.”

---

After I finished my doctorate degree, I began work as a professor. Rachael was a young PhD student in those days, and we fell in love immediately and married soon after that. Rachael has had four miscarriages. The first was just a few years after we got married.

Miscarriages are common nowadays, as you might suspect, with the population being at a hard natural cap. The last of our miscarriages happened almost ten years ago, and we’ve since given up hope of having children.

By the end of the month, the number of pregnancies for this one single day have reached 25 million and 360 thousand, give or take. Th

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
