One of the inventions that truly blows me away and that we all take for granted is fabric.
Ages ago, people decided to weave strings to create soft surfaces that you could use as clothes, mats and more, and I just can't comprehend how someone had this idea, not just once, but in many parts of the world independently from each other.
(okay, now I want to go down the rabbit hole that is the history of fabric, but I don't have the time right now!)
