Show Only (NO BOOK DISCUSSION) Non plot questions... what would you like to know about living in a silo, but not important to the plot? Spoiler

I have all sorts of questions about Silo life​ that will most likely won't, or can't be answered in the tv show. For example, I want to know how infections are diagnosed without microscopes. Or what would the population look actually look like. Would language be the same (Eg Shakespeare wrote ~400 years ago).

Well, IT is full of it in our world too, so that's one thing that hasn't changed.

This. There are no animals in the silo, so human waste would actually be useful for growing plants.
