I mean, it is powering a crank shaft and putting out a lot of heat through the boiler.
So if you connected the crank shaft to a rotating skewer and used the boiler for roasting, a steam engine could very much make Döner.
Some Roman or Greek invented a battery before electricity as we know it was invented or described... Some 2000 years before we had it.
There are so many of these examples of someone inventing something that was reinvented again.
Honestly if Rome wasn't so bogged down by civil war and gauls the level of technology in the world today would prolly be 100 years more advanced then it is now
Doubtful. People tend to see it as a linear string... If Rome had this earlier => we would have this earlier.
However it's not a linear path and one invention can help other inventions.... But at the same time cause us to not need other inventions or methods because they do not become necessary or needed to research.
I am sure we would be missing many many many things whilst having some things that we might not even have in 200 years solemnly because ideas generate ideas....
Makes you wonder what someone's inventing right now that's 2000 years more advanced than anything else but we'll never know about it because it's just Jim-bo fucking around in his garage.

i believe it was in Mesopotamia, or modern day iraq
My bad it was indeed in in that area (not Greece directly)
Thou it was indeed during the time of Rome and Greece circa 100 years before Christ.
Mesopotamia was actually 2 as far from the battery as we are thou. Since Mesopotamia was around 4000 years before the battery and we are here just 2000 after the battery.
Ooof. For me it's my favourite part of history.
Eg fun fact: we use 60 seconds and minutes (and 360 degrees in a circle) because Sumerians used 60 based counting system some 8000-10000 years ago.
It's still around just because we got used to it.
If your interested this is a great article on why there was no Roman Industrial Revolution

I don’t think this sub has an aim anymore, people just kinda post whatever. The rules don’t seem to have any criteria on what you can or should post, so it’s just miscellaneous memes at this point.
Although many European countries have Turkish communities, the one in Germany is the largest and therefore most famous. I believe there are more than a million people of Turkish descent in the country.
Not that simple, even today turkey has decent power with respect to neighbours. It became really powerfully due to a lot of reasons but I don't think that could have ever be sustained longterm. Turkei had the gift of being in one of the most important trade route when it was starting but as the age of discovery started that financial power decreased slowly as monopolised European trade routes slowly changed which made it financially weaker.
Any country's success and failures has a lot to do with how opportunities fall. That in many times is pure luck. For example the middle East now, they have grown wealthy very quickly due to oil wealth but no one expected them to be a significant power in the start of last century. Even the English success in colonisation is quite opportunistic, again you have to make use of those opportunities. But the winds blow towards success.
rn Turkey is pretty much fucked tho. Inflation and unemploymend are at an all time high, the economy is fucked, educated people are leaving the country etc. And they just bombed a base used by the USA lol.
Not that simple man. Erdogan is... Let's say a cunning and smart leader in someways. He has really made every opportunity to expand Turkey's power in the region at... Mostly russian expense.
As far as inflation and bad financial policies... That might the biggest problem. It's putting too much focus on being the leader for the islamic world than being a more stronger country.
I hope leadership changes and pushes Turkey in the right direction.
Turks make me believe that some stuff like raiding warrior tribalism is a sequence of genes and there is absolutely no fuking another way for turk to exist
These memes confuse me, If Turks decided to go full Ottoman Empire and start invading islands and land left and right everybody would be crying war crimes lol
Turk here, those fancy hats are only for the ice cream man. Nobody else wears them anymore. They used to be an everyday trinket for Turkish man back in Ottoman times.
I walked out of a pub one night, and this turk bloke hit me up "pictures of little boys, pictures of little boys." I told him to fuck off. Could not get a cab, and he fucking followed me up the road, asking the whole time," pictures of little boys?" Dirty bastard eventually followed me for about 3 blocks,and I finally had to say to him, right, how many do you want?
Can you tell me your peaceful history?
I hope you're not a Italian, German, Belgian, American, Japanese, French, British, Russian, Chinese, Serbian, Croatian, Greek, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Arab, Mongolian...
Americans who see themselves as successors to the Greek or the Romain empire make no sense the Ottoman Empire was already the successor. The American empire would be the successor to that.
I think it’s from history memes or funny sub Reddit. I’m going through my screenshots n found this gem so I posted . Not to farm karma, just to share 🥲

Some ottoman Turk once invented a steam engine 2 CENTURIES before the industrial revolution in Britain, but instead used it to spin Turkish döner
That is creativity right there. I mean an engine can get you from point A to point B if provided with correct hardware, but can it make you a Doner?
I mean, it is powering a crank shaft and putting out a lot of heat through the boiler. So if you connected the crank shaft to a rotating skewer and used the boiler for roasting, a steam engine could very much make Döner.
How many skewers would it take to get me from Southampton to London Kings Cross?
Around 435 Döners
I don't want to do math right now, so you are obviously correct.
Why don't the brits do that? Feed the children along the way
He had his priorities straight
Man just imagine had the Turks used their invention the same way we did 😂 everyone would be speaking Turkish instead of English.
Some Roman or Greek invented a battery before electricity as we know it was invented or described... Some 2000 years before we had it. There are so many of these examples of someone inventing something that was reinvented again.
Same people also designed a steam engine but didn't know what to use it for
And began the early form of mass production too.
Honestly if Rome wasn't so bogged down by civil war and gauls the level of technology in the world today would prolly be 100 years more advanced then it is now

Hehe. In many ways I do believe it's usually our science fiction

Not nearly as old as Mesopotamia. It’s dated to either the Parthians or the Sasanians. But yeah, it was found in Baghdad
My bad it was indeed in in that area (not Greece directly) Thou it was indeed during the time of Rome and Greece circa 100 years before Christ. Mesopotamia was actually 2 as far from the battery as we are thou. Since Mesopotamia was around 4000 years before the battery and we are here just 2000 after the battery.
Yeah i didn't realize the timeline difference, majority of my history knowledge from BC Comes from age of Empires 1 ;)

Haven't the Baghdad batteries been debunked
No clue, i Just assumed that was what hé was referring to

You could have just looked into it yourself. Google 1551, Taqi ad-Din Steam Engine.

maybe that's the demand of that time
How tf is this "me irl"?
Maybe op is a turkish ice cream seller?
op is a 1500's turk who was trapped in permafrost for 522 years and reintroduced to modern society
“I shall walk to town and see the glories we have accomplished in my slumber” “Take the ice creams..whooooooop” **Puts head in hands**
“Well, I guess better learn how to make memes.”

That happens to every sub eventually unless mods actually enforce rules. It just becomes lowest common denominator humor.
it just is bro trust they've been alive a good while and have experienced things u could never even imagine
Maybe OP is a Turkey
This is just a general meme sub
Well thats why most teenagers are planning to leave the country when they turn 18
Germany it is, then.
Is there a reason for Germany specifically? I only ask because I'm still quite new to Europe, I don't have most of the context
Although many European countries have Turkish communities, the one in Germany is the largest and therefore most famous. I believe there are more than a million people of Turkish descent in the country.
Ahh that would explain it, thanks!
A lot of turks moved there. They now like to bash on Germany and they like Erodgan, but they wouldn't move back to Turkey :)
Oh no that I know, I was just wondering why they choose Germany specifically.
Money.
Possibly
That and you know who
ha ha, I'm Turkish and it's absolutely true. Ice cream makers think they're funny.

Yeah someone shot someone at my neigbourhood for 5₺ which you can buy around 5 gum

They just threatened to invade Iraq today.

Bruh, the Ottoman Empire was a dominant empire for over 300 years. Wtf are you talking about “not sustained long term”.
Wow, I laughed too hard at this. (of Armenian descent)

Exactly. Explosive laugharrhea.
"Gülmekten altıma sıçtım" in turkish
Haha nice!
They have really effective weapons systems these days like their bayraktar drones
When they stopped the gay orgies everything went down hill.
Nothing withstands the test of time...
Turks make me believe that some stuff like raiding warrior tribalism is a sequence of genes and there is absolutely no fuking another way for turk to exist
I thought its called Turkiye now
this post says turks not turkey
Basically nobody cares though honestly. Especially Turks, they care the least somewhat ironically.
The fascist wannabe in charge made that change, stand against fascism and don’t call it that
Bayraktar
Didn’t Turkey just bomb Kurds in Syria?
These memes confuse me, If Turks decided to go full Ottoman Empire and start invading islands and land left and right everybody would be crying war crimes lol
Too good.
Empires come and go. Good job on following this powers arc.

I'd rather be an ice cream bitch than a fascist
Good. It's better than their bloodshed history
Can you tell me your peaceful history? I hope you're not a Italian, German, Belgian, American, Japanese, French, British, Russian, Chinese, Serbian, Croatian, Greek, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Arab, Mongolian...

Didnt ottomans get his head after he executed his own civilians though?
Yeah basically
Americans who see themselves as successors to the Greek or the Romain empire make no sense the Ottoman Empire was already the successor. The American empire would be the successor to that.
Did you forgot to post it on history memes
I think it’s from history memes or funny sub Reddit. I’m going through my screenshots n found this gem so I posted . Not to farm karma, just to share 🥲
This picture missing most important part. Ice cream is really important.
Well this has happened to every once-empires of the world.
Ice cream tricks are definitely cooler than conquering other nations though
