• The AK-47

  In 1946, a former Soviet tank mechanic who had formal training in engineering or manufacturing submitted a design for a new gun in a competition.  His design was selected, and it became the new rifle for the Soviet military.  However, it didn’t just become a weapon for the Soviet Union; the design spread and within decades was being used all around the world in almost every armed conflict.  Learn more about the AK-47 and how it managed to change warfare in the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

• Air Conditioning (Encore)

  One of the biggest problems that humanity has faced for thousands of years is heat.  Excessive heat made it difficult to work in the middle of the day. Heat was especially problematic in the tropics, where a shockingly large percentage of humanity lived.  As cities became more developed, excess heat, all year round, became a limiting factor in how tall buildings could get.  All of these problems were solved with one invention. Learn more about air conditioning and how it helped usher in the modern world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

• The Sinking of the Mignonette and Justified Cannibalism

  On May 19, 1884, a small yacht containing four men set sail from England to Australia.  On July 5th, the ship was hit by a massive wave and capsized.  The crew escaped the shipwreck on a lifeboat, but was left in a horrible situation. They were hundreds of miles from land, with no fresh water, and a single pound of turnips for food. Three weeks later, on July 25, food was out, and the men were still adrift, and the sailors made the decision to kill and eat one of their own.  Learn more about the sinking of the Mignonette and the legal ethics of cannibalism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!
