Does Yellowstone teach us anything?

We'd be better off without the internet. It ruined everything.

Yeah, I miss the good old days when you had to schlep around with or actually mail a document to get someone to sign it.

Or paying with checks, that's a quaintness that's not underrated.

Or physically going to a store that may be hundreds of miles away to get their product.

Or calling some nitwit at customer service instead of just getting it done myself.

I also miss Blockbuster. Rewinding was a joy.

There's a word for that: laziness.

There's a word for anti-Internet too: Luddite.

Indeed there was. In Yellowstone, just the scenery itself is art. And, there is nothing more entertaining than a topnotch rodeo with beautiful horses that are worth millions of dollars being ridden by topnotch professional cowboys/girls. I have seen some high dollar horses up close and personal and they will take your breath away!

Yes and the great part, we used to have everyone from an area for miles come for the activities and actually talk and share what was happening in their lives. Just traveling by wagon and horse is entertainment!
No worries about overseas Nations! Good homemade foods and the kids running and playing people focused on one another! Everyone had a job to do and felt appreciated, the food growing, canning and cooking as well as building and wood chopping and heavy work. Relying on one another causes closeness.
We had a Family Rodeo star, but he was also known as the best when seasonal branding gatherings came around and everyone moved from farm to ranch helping one another. People prefer the fake westerns where everyone wanted to kill each other over a simple slight and all pickled themselves in whisky but that is fiction.

How about whale oil for light? Like your indoor plumbing, wanna crap outside in the cold instead?

How about go to bed when it gets dark, get up when it gets light?
I actually think outhouses were more sanitary never had one smell bad like the campground ones now and it was good for you to have to go outside the change in temperature and the effort is healthy but its not like plumbing takes high tech.

Actually the words you were looking for are 'misplaced nostalgia'. Should we give up automobiles and go back to riding horsies because of laziness? How about whale oil for light? Like your indoor plumbing, wanna crap outside in the cold instead?

What's the matter you don't like corn cobs?

Something plentiful and waste product recycled.

Approximately 27,000 trees are cut down every day just to make toilet paper. Over seven billion rolls of toilet paper are sold in America alone each year. This amounts to around 141 rolls per person, or 12.7 kilograms (28 lbs.)Jun 14, 2021

Sure. As soon as I take up farming. In 2000 and never.

The you should rip out your toilet and install one of these instead. I have a feeling you won't though for reasons.

They're chafe-y.

ETA: Forget about the toasters, you've got geniuses now advocating for the advantages of not having indoor plumbing because it's 'more sanitary'.

I saw an episode of Yellowstone. It does have nice cinematography but the people living in the paradasic settings were rotten to the core. It was off-putting, and too much violence. There were no likeable characters. It's like a show of all bad guys. And bad guys verse other bad guys. I guess pretty much like real life. But there are good people out there.

At least I would know how, the Amish are going to be laughing after the big expected solar flair puts us back there in and instant or some warfare EMP strikes.
I would love to have an outhouse available but laws prevent that. You know you can have a hand pump for running water at the outhouse, I remember a Family who built their spotless and decorated outhouse with a row of holes with diameters cut for each kid in their large Family, they carved lids that worked like todays toilet lids.

Do you know why people are always sick now days?

Sure they will. Too bad they're non-violent and open to armed five finger discounts.

Sounds like a bunch of gross mofo's that I would never want to be around. But good for them if they want to potty like it's 1799.

S*** diet loaded with processed food. It sure isn't from enhanced sanitary efforts.

Misplaced nostalgia indeed. I want # nukes for New Years Eve, the China crackers don't cut it anymore.

You have to watch more than one episode to get it. As the overall dynamic of all the various stakeholders plays out, you will find yourself coming to understand the Dutton family. It is one of the most interwoven stories plotwise I have seen in a long time. The production spared no expense and used real-life cowboys and wranglers and rodeo professionals. There's just so many varying levels to this series to appreciate.

Lots to be learned from this show in a lot of different ways, thats the beauty of interpretation i reckon

Side note I actually use to play with Ryan Bingham "walker" in Fort Worth from time to time, hes as nice in person as he is on the show

So you have a bucket of corncobs in your latrine down on the SeaWorthy Homestead?

Not to mention...

Hemp toilet paper is, as the name implies, toilet paper made out of hemp. The process of turning hemp into paper is very similar to the one used for conventional paper. The difference, however, is that the hemp paper process is less toxic—requiring less chemical processing than hardwood fiber needs. The wood from trees contains more rigid fibers than hemp, and to soften them, more chemicals are needed. Due to hemp’s fine fibers, hemp tissue paper production is possible with little to no chemical processing.

The initial pulp to make traditional toilet paper also contains lignin, which gives it a brown color. To correct this, factories use chemicals to provide it with its traditional white color. Hemp pulp, on the other hand, doesn’t have lignin, so it does not need dioxin-producing chlorine bleach for the color. Instead, it uses less sulfur-based acid.
