Cool or Interesting stuff or Information that has been lost

[Retro Doomer]

Best Title I could come up with anyway lets get to what this is about.
What we seek her is cool things from the past that have been lost it doesn't have to be extinct of course but should be at least rare enough that most people nowadays would not know about it and is more of a niche knowledge at best.This Includes Cultural Practices/Fairy Tales/Wisdoms/Technology/Believes and so on and please keep it factual here so only real things and not something like back in the day they had Dinosaurs with Laser guns who where mounted by Caveman

(Not real never happened )
Anyway I move on to a Real Interesting fact did you know that in Germanic Culture there was a Calendar.
And those are,
1.Hartung (The Coldest and Hardest Month this is why Hart german for Hard is used)
2.Hornung (When the Horns of the Animals regrew I think)
3.Lenzing
4.Ostermond
5.Wonnemond
6.Brachet
7.Heuert (Month of the Hay Harvest Heu is the German word for Hay)
8.Ernting (Probably something about harvesting Ernten is German for Harvesting)
9.Scheiding
10.Gilbhart (Gilb comes from Gilben meaning it turns yellow and Hart for Hard it means the leaves turn yellow and it becomes a Hard Month afterwards)
11.Nebelung (Nebel means Fog as it is a very foggy month)
12.Julmond (its the Month where Jule was celebrated by the Old Germanics I think)
I think those are more the specific old German Germanic names for them and each one has a meaning behind the name but I only know few.

Seeing that T-Rex just reminded me of something. If anyone is an avid arcade gamer, especially when it comes to on-rail shooters, you probably familiar with SEGA's The Lost World: Jurassic Park arcade game. But, there was a special edition version the Lost World game that is lost media.

For starters, the cabinet itself is humongus, its has two doors that open up and players would step inside the theater-style cabinet, along with tvs for people on the outside to watch the gameplay. The platform itself moves too, as well as adding a new sound system & air bursts to further immerse yourself while playing the game. And speaking of gameplay, apparently, SEGA changed up the levels so that the game would follow closely to the movie itself, most notably taking out the Carnotaurus boss fight, & replacing it with the T-Rex at the climax of the film.

Unfortunately, we will never see what this version of the Lost World game would truly be about; obviously it never got ported to consoles, but even more unfortunate is the fact that there is no rom for the special edition of TLW to emulate through Supermodel. Though, I did find a reddit post where someone actually played the TLW: JP Special back in the day, & detailed their experience playing this lost spectacle.

August, September, Octover, November, December, Make more sense with just ten months in the calendar, ¿Right? They did, but Julius Caesar during his reign made two months based in his name, eventually the naming was adopted in the modern calendar

That one cool idea you thought of while on a walk or in the shower or something, but you forgot to write it down.

Or when you get a cool idea in a dream but once you wake up you forget about it
