fedi kinda feels like the modern equivalent of victorian "penny universities" to me

@ikeWren whats that

@fiore nickname for coffeehouses . they cost a penny for entry and served free coffee inside , and they were very popular among academics . they're nicknamed that because one could go in there and learn from some thinker about what's going on in the world, or about some concept, or whatever for only a penny

@ikeWren crazy that penny is so old she was around back then

@fiore @ikeWren rude?

@coolbean @ikeWren buster!
