Saw it on reddit yesterday. Really some interesting stuff.

[Hiiri]

Thanks for sharing.

[Criptfeind]

The comments were particularly terrible and funny. Five comments in and already it is brewing into a religious-atheist flame war.

That's pretty cool. I'm surprised none of the kids bit it during the winters.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Very sad. Interesting how the father noticed the existence of satellites almost immediately, though.

[DarkWolfXV]

Interesting.

[Loud Whispers]

I was hoping to gain more insight into what the modern world looks like to one who has full capabilities of comprehension and analysis as well as no prior understandings.

I think the sad thing about it is that they were driven to adopt this lifestyle solely because of religious persecution.

The sad thing is they were driven out in the first place.

Long nights in Siberia with nothing to do but look at the stars.

Lacking guns and even bows, they could hunt only by digging traps or pursuing prey across the mountains until the animals collapsed from exhaustion. Dmitry built up astonishing endurance, and could hunt barefoot in winter, sometimes returning to the hut after several days, having slept in the open in 40 degrees of frost, a young elk across his shoulders.

Legendary hunters don't need a crossbow.

[Knight of Fools]

That's amazing.

[PanH]

That's amazing.

Amazing, but a sad story still.

Testament to the tenacity of humanity...
