"Ya think we can eat that hoof if we boiled it long enough?"
"Let's find out"
I mean what else are you suppose to do with the old shoes?
But on a serious note, I do get curious how some of these things were discovered. For example, how did they learn that brains helped tan hides?
They probably left some brain on untanned hides and realized it did stuff.
That or my thought was they piled all the stuff in the hide to take back and realized something at that point, either way these thoughts always get me thinking how the Ancients found this stuff out.
One other way of saying "melt that horse" is "cook that horse."
I forget the exact recipe for hide glue, but I think it mostly is a process that involves soaking and heating hide with lime (not the fruit). Also materials that can be used in the production of leather.
Anyways, if you cook enough horse and you make enough horse leather in an area with lime, and you're observant enough, hide glue is sort of an inevitable discovery.
Which means there's a decent chance that someone ate glue before anyone used it to stick things together.
Maybe multiple people if it went like this:
A: I'm going to try this eats spoonfull
B: How is it?
A: Mmmm...!?
B: Oh he likes it, I'll try some, too!
C: Do you agree with A?
B: Mmmm...!?
A: Mmmm! Mmmmm!
D: Wow they really like it! Ok, everyone grab a spoon!
Tbf, some things are created as accidents or surprises.
Superglue, for example, was made by a guy from Kodak in an attempt to make a clear lining for cockpit windows.
“Man, this horse we melted sure is sticky! Wonder if that could be useful somehow?”
post it notes having so little adhesion was from an attempt to make a super adhesive glue
Task failed successfully.
Yeah that's fucked up. You don't have to melt the whole horse.
But it won't stand still in the pot long enough for us to just melt it's hooves.
That's what the horsey nail clippers are for
