    Explanation: One of the earliest steam engines (a ‘steam jack’) was invented by a Turkish polymath in the 16th century AD for the purpose of… spinning meat to be perfectly evenly roasted. The PERFECT kebab!

    Europe around this same period also had developed a method of ensuring even roasting of meat… breeding dogs with small legs and having them run in wheels, which would spin the spit.

    Mechanics vs. biotech. Human history is sometimes weird af.

    Later, around ~1700 AD, steam engines would be developed in Britain for draining mines, which is a bit more economically useful.

        “Mining can fill your stomach.”

        “Explain”

        “Plentiful metal and fuel can make MANY cooking utensils”

        “WOOHOO!”
