All the items listed below came from . . . where? Take a guess!

53. Every person ever born came from a woman.
Not birthing people? Or men who think with enough hormones and surgeries they are women? The DUmp's transphobes and TERFs seem to be slipping out.

Did you just assume their gender?
-
They left a few off the list.
Sandwiches also come from a woman.
Manual dishwashing comes from a woman.
Transgender men came from a woman.

Not really sure, but the hateful DUmmy appears to be surprised that many women are smart and inventive.

Someone over there also mentioned Harry Potter. Oh dear, they've gone off the plantation a bit. If Calpeg posted this on X, she would have been swarmed with vicious and vile transactivists, especially over the Harry Potter reference, which they will sniff out. Her feelings would have been deeply hurt, and she would have been very confused. Her democrat party isn't what it used to be way back when.

Um...
The Global Positioning System (GPS) was invented by Roger Easton, Bradford Parkinson, and Ivan Getting.
Jaap Haartsen (a man) is credited with inventing Bluetooth. Haartsen is a Dutch electrical engineer, entrepreneur, and researcher.
And thats just 2 from the list.
DUmbasses.

WRT computers and computer programming, CaliforniaPeggy is probably alluding to Ada Lovelace.
WRT computers, Ada worked with Charles Babbage's "Difference Engine", which he had invented, and Babbage's designed (by him) but never built "Analytical Engine". If what Babbage designed could in modern usage be termed a computer instead of a calculator, both were analog computers, akin to the USN's Ford Mark 1 Fire Control Computer and TDC, both used in WW2. She also suggested a process by which inputs could accomplish a calculation using the never-built "Analytical Engine", which some regard as the first computer program.
Analog computers were and are very different from digital computers. Analog computers use gears to convert inputs to some trajectory or solution. Digital computers use "switches" - progressing from relays to vacuum tubes to transistors to logic block ICs to single-IC processors - to perform the calculations and data manipulation specified by a program.
In brief, Ada Lovelace did not invent any type of computer, and her calculation process was hypothetical and not even similar to 1950s assembly language programs. I doubt that CaliforniaPeggy would understand this, and she believes what she wants to believe, regardless of facts. I suspect that many of CaliforniaPeggy's factoids are similarly challenged by the claims' vagueness ("Space Station Power"? Solar panels? atomic reactors? Batteries? Switch-mode power conversion?) reality. It is true, however, that Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar, though she did not work on uses for the fiber she invented. Michael Nesmith's (the guitarist) mother did invent correction fluid, and being a typist, did use it.

Yup. "Telecommunications" is another one: it will be attributed to either Alexander Graham Bell, the guy in Britain who didn't get the patent in in time, or Samuel Morse - all of whom identified as men.
:rotf:
-
:rotf: Unsurprisingly the earliest patent W'pedia found for a windshield-wiper type device was by George J. Capewell in 1896. Mary Anderson, to whom the meme probably alludes, was one of several who filed for patents in 1903.
:rotf: The idea of an aquarium, in which plants keep the water oxygenated, is attributed by W'pedia to Robert Warington (1850), and the populariztion of aquariums is attributed to Philip Henry Gosse, who created and stocked the first aquarium in the London Zoo (1853).
CaliforniaPeggy should leave posting stupid memes on DU to DU's Meme Queen kpete.

The claim all that was invented by a woman, and they can’t even tell you what a woman is :thatsright:
-
A couple more. Charles Baggage is considered the father of computers. Cray is the accepted 2nd choice for this over generalized question
telecommunication? another subject too broad. Samuel Morse, Alexander Graham Bell, and others can lay claim to inventions that fit under that heading.
I'll give you the foot pedal trash can. It changed the world.

Modern digital computers trace back to Alan Turing and Max Newman and the work they did automating the decryption of the Nazi Enigma codes. The American ENIAC also came into operation in late 1945, the work of John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert. Seymour Cray is regarded is the Father of Super Computing.
ENIAC had some relays but had some 18,000 vacuum tubes. The amount of power consumed and the amount of heat generated by the heaters of that number of vacuum tubes boggles my mind. Because heaters, necessary for operation, were also a significant cause of failure in vacuum tubes, reliability with that many tube must have been horrendous.

They are a confused and stupid lot. Of course, I must admit that their stupidity often confuses me.
First, I find it difficult to keep up with all of their gender-related BS like non-binary and gender fluid and what not. Then the trans stuff initially confused me, but I think (with "think" being the key word) that I've figured out that a trans-woman is a dude who has a mental illness that makes him think that he's a woman.
Then I get more confused wondering why the left wants others to participate in and encourage someone's mental illness. For instance, if a guy claimed he was a car would they be okay with and encourage him to drink gasoline? Or, if he thinks he's an electric car, stick an electric chord up his arse? Well, I guess they'd really be for that last one.

1. There is a woman who has birthed 7 or 8 billion people? :o
2. How did those "everyone ALIVE today" come to be in those women's bodies?

Well, I can't speak for "everyone ALIVE today", but... :naughty:

:rotf: According to W'pedia, using paper filters for coffee was first described in 1782 by Johann Georg Krünitz. Blotting paper was being used in the Netherlands and Germany for this purpose. Blotting paper is said to have been created by accident by a worker at an English paper mill in the 15th century. So who first used blotting paper in coffee extraction is probably unknown, but the creator of the paper used for this was almost certainly male.
:rotf: The protocol that became IEEE 802.11, aka Wi-Fi, was created by Vic Hayes of NCR and Bruce Tuch of Bell Labs in the Netherlands in 1991. On the other side of the world in Oz, a team led by John O'Sullivan developed wireless LAN technology in 1992. As with much complex technology, the chances that there was at least one woman on the Netherlands and/or the Oz teams is somewhere between extremely high and certainty, because demographics.
:rotf: Bluetooth was created by a team at Ericsson Mobile. Nils Rydbeck had Tord Wingren, Jaap Haartsen, and Sven Mattisson develop the technology, completing it in 1997. In 1997, Örjan Johansson become the project leader. As above, there is a high likelihood that the development team had at least one woman, because demographics.
The meme is probably alluding to the frequency-hopping idea co-created by Hedy Lamarr, which Wi-Fi and Bluetooth do use, but which is a small aspect of those technologies. To claim that a woman created Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is silly. But since the meme was posted on DU ...

Well yea. But does any of that compare with the foot operated trash can?....I didn't think so.
But, 18,000 vacuum tubes and the heat?! I remember working near some in an amp (nicely warmed up) and accidently touching the back of my hand to one and DAMN!!! I remember that lesson.

that inaccurate meme was thrown up there by someone who knew none of the DUmmies would dare fact check any of the claims and swallow it hook, line and sinker.

I see a lot of false info in that list.

Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot and Charlie Manson all came from a woman. (Not the same one though. :-))

The question is, was this inncaurate meme created by a man, or a woman (or a man pretending to be a woman)?
