Heavy Shit
If Earth collapsed down to black hole status, It's new size would equal a small glass playing marble that has, The same mass as, And still weighs the same weight that Earth now is, A marble more heavy than a diamond is dense. To pulverize and shrink Earth down to such a degree, Every last bit of space that's still empty, Must be wrung out like water from a sponge, Every last bit of space that's still empty, A complete and full expunge - From between every branch of every tree

Codex
On rare occasions I was lucky enough to find a book back in the 300′s. This said, reading a book in the year 300 was a pain in the ass. The reading of the words was incredible, but actually handling the actual physical book itself was a huge chore. They had book technology down to a science by 600, but back in the 3 and 400′s the engineer-design-work of books was terrible. Have you ever accidentally unrolled four or five feet of your toilet paper while yanking away at it b
