2·22 days agoThat is interesting. Not sure exactly how it relates to the homunculus (unless people perceived the homunculus as trying to grow a perfect being, though I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that) but it’s certainly an interesting point about perceived perfection never changing and that’s what all them paintings symbolise.

2·22 days agoThat, plus I’m not an anime fan. Like, at all. Honestly, I couldn’t even tell you the first thing about anime.

3·22 days agoTrue. I’m not 100% sure if that was the historical purpose of homunculus (or even what their purpose was other than to make one) but I guess it could be.
The fact that we live in a world full of robotics and other things we’ve made that do everything for us speaks volumes to your point though, I do have to say that.
I guess, in a legacy kind of way, we’re still working on that homunculus, just one made out of metal and plastic, numbers and code.

3·22 days agoI’m not sure they’re ‘related’ per se. But they are certainly comparable (maybe the legends came from the same/similar sources maybe?) idk.

4·22 days agoPossibly. I personally don’t watch (or even know the first thing about) anime, which probably doesn’t make it any more likely I’d even know I was looking at it, let alone see it in my searches

4·22 days agoActually, I first encountered the term on YouTube — one of them ‘mysterious YouTube videos’ compilations where someone had claimed to made one with a chicken egg or something. That’s what led me to research the topic. Also, I only used historical search terms like ‘homunculus alchemy’ or ‘homunculus history’ which might explain why I didn’t see it.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The first Kamikaze pilot? No, but this often-forgotten man of history set an eerie precedent on Pearl Harbour…
2·23 days agoAh, my apologies I presumed when you said history coaches, it was some sort of slang for history teachers lol, my bad. Wow, they sound quite… opinionated.

3·23 days agoFascinating! May I ask what your history teachers taught you on that subject? I’m curious how different it was
