What's up with Ragnarok? Did it already happen? Does it still have to happen? Or both, and did the Norse believe we were in some timeloop? How else would they know that Thor has to fight Jormungandr, for example?

The first condoms are said to have been made from animals bladders or intestines. This, of course, doesn't sound too clean nor does it sound comfortable either. Did people get infections from these? Was the ancient condom just a curiosity, as it very likely might not have felt good for both parties? NSFW
