> FastCGI doesn't have as simple a deployment model as CGIs generally offer
That may be true in general but I don't think it's a universal truth - it's been well over a decade, but ISTR running PHP in Apache as FastCGI was a matter of a few directives in httpd.conf. No application servers, deployment model identical to that of plain CGI. Co I misremembering?
We call it "Röntgenstrahlung" (X-rays), "Röntgengerät" (X-ray machine), "Röntgenaufnahme" (X-ray picture). We even made a verb out of it, even though that's probably colloquial: "Wir müssen Ihr Bein röntgen" (we need to X-ray your leg).
At my work maybe 10 years ago, we had a little trivia competition on a fun day, about 25 people taking part - one of the questions was "who discovered the X-ray?", and all 7 of the eastern Europeans got the correct answer, but none of the Americans, Indians, or Asians in the group got it right (except for me, but I'm special).
More like: This plant has no insect parasites, it must be special somehow, let's try and use it in different, increasingly "close approach" ways. I mean, humans must have figured quite early that on average, inhaling smoke of a poisonous plant has a fraction of the effect of chewing the same. Someone gets really sick after chewing some leaves, their family burns the rest of the "crop" and they get high.
It seems likely to me that any form of smoking was discovered incidentally by burning stuff that smelled nice, repelled bugs, repelled evil spirits, etc. and happening to inhale some of the smoke.
For mushrooms it was probably desperation, but my head cannon for mushrooms is Trial by Mushroom: You can be expelled from our community for stealing, or you can eat this mushroom and if you survive, you get to stay.
