Does Jesus impart weight on the water at all? We have to assume not, because otherwise he would create a depression in it. This means he could stand on the flow coming out of a hosepipe that he himself is holding.
With a long enough hosepipe he could fly over buildings.
Food hasn’t been plentiful for most of history. It’s been scarce and expensive.
Being fatter meant that:
It’s similar with pale skin and long hair. Pale skin (or powdered skin) meant that you didn’t work outdoors. Long hair (on men and women) often meant that you didn’t work with machinery (looms, mangles ect). In many cases, fancy clothing, hair and makeup for men and women that took hours to apply was its own signal - you could afford to waste money on the clothes and servants to dress you, and you could afford to waste hours every day getting all costumed up.
Just the mining companies, mostly.

Then you’re doing it wrong, esp if you’re eating canned tomato soup.
Try a homemade tomato bisque, with roasted fennel or something. Absolutely rocks.

It’s tomato soup. The natural companion of a toasted cheese sanga

You could not pay me to go to the US. Id sooner visit Syria.
Nonsense, there would be a sternly worded letter to the ambassador, a UN resolution vote to denounce Russia (Russia would veto), and possibly some sanctions on luxury croc exports.
The snazzy European uniforms?
When a home invader breaks in, just let him keep the living room, as long as he stays out of the kitchen and bedrooms. It’s a reasonable compromise.
You gotta be a massive anus to a sunbear to get it to attack you, they are normally extraordinarily passive.

Lots of things can be used as currency. Gold was the OG because it is scarce, takes work to mine, is finite(ish), it doesn’t tarnish or corrode in air or salt water, isn’t attacked by acids except agua regia, meaning it doesn’t degade over time. It’s a really good medium for labor-value.
Problem is, it’s also a useful metal now, in semiconductors and electronics, so now it is being ‘consumed’ by industry in a way that isn’t readily recoverable except at product end of life, and even then it’s not 100% recycled, probably more like 10%.
So the global supply increases due to work mining, decreases due to consumption as a commodity, and is still treated as a currency equivalent.
Solid gold is easy to store, and will survive calamities, bank collapses, fires, floods, ect where other intrinsic value items don’t.
So it’s a good investment if you believe that you will survive the deletion of society, AND you believe that it will be tradeable post-collapse. Or if you just treat it like a commodity.
But post-collapse, gold isn’t intrinsically useful. In these events, other useful, consumable goods might be better for goods and labour exchange. In the early Australian colonies, there was no money, people bought, sold and got paid in rum.
Rum is a reasonable value holder, it can be preserved against degrading, it is ‘fungible’ and divisible in a way that gold coins arent.
Dried grains are a good currency too. Maize, wheat berries, etc, as long as you accept that your value will be contually consumed and replenished.
Whether a thing has value is largely determined by whether the society you end up in decides it has value.
The indigenous Australians would happily trade a gold nugget for rum or rope or steel tools, because their society had no use for gold, but did have use for steel.
Disclaimer: The only gold I own is in my phone and computer.
