Well given how many castles sunk into swamps? I’m gonna presume swamps are a bitch to work with in general, but this is also a Trump project meaning 2 bucks worth of chainlink was marked up 500 percent.

Just fucking kill them, let the ravens feast.

Yeah it’s kinda a subset i of the old “how could the Germans win WW2? By not being Nazis.” joke. The German economy was already starting to struggle as early as the annexation of Austria and may have very well collapsed if they had been denied Czechoslovakia, there’s a reason they were basically looting everywhere they invaded rather than just taking over the factories.

Also in the defense of the Bismark having more AA wouldn’t have helped, the reason they didn’t do well against the swordfish naval biplanes is because they didn’t have the right ammo and their guns weren’t calibrated for planes that slow they were calibrated for planes like the spitfires naval sub model. It’d be like some dude in a with a ballistic plate getting shit canned by a blunderbuss, under no circumstances did the engineers consider that a viable risk.

Grocer is one of those terms where it gets increasingly evident that English is Germanic Hill with a French castle built on top.

Idunno feels a bit, Andean.

For those not aware lake Titicaca has a village that rests apon reeds and floats around lake Titicaca.

It’s so heavily derive so as to be effectively wrong. It’d be like calling a human a jawless fish sure it’s technically true but entirely misses the point.

Well it doesn’t help that modern English is a hybrid of a Germanic and Romantic language not even getting into the Celtic aspects.

Franco, Stalin, and Tito all did. Though I feel a bit unfair putting Tito in that list.

I dealt with them enough people that my response to crybulling is to laugh in their face and dare them to throw a punch. Which is surprisingly effective when you are a five five dude who pulls off the wildman look quite well.

Uhh what’s with the bootleg waifu cup?

Plenty of folks learn and hold onto knowledge it’s just that we are kinda in the minority. I blame the massive population boom of the 20th century, too many people not enough facilities and resources for even education. Combine that with the fact that the massive leaps in communication technology meant people have had relatively little time to adapt and you end up with massive issues. When my great grandfather was born in the 1920s radios were an uncommon but spreading luxury and people still used telegrams as a primary form of long distance communication, when he died a couple years ago fiber optic was being laid in front of the barn his father and grandfather built with at the time state of the art electric lighting.

Honestly these types of maps always have something to laugh at, when faced with the inability to act it is best to laugh rather than stew in rage and misery.

Is it bad that this isn’t even the worst therapist I’ve heard about that is from Utah?

That bottom map looks like someone stepped on Iraq.

Yeah it’s on the more esoteric side of things that is only kinda understood. As I noted early Christianity was more or less just another mystery cult who’s defining feature was that it came out of Hebrew traditions rather than Hellenic. Just to give you an idea of how weird it got there’s evidence that early Christianity and the Anubis cults got along weirdly well and may have even merged in some cases, best guess as to why is that they were both cults with close associations with death and thusly were similarly shunned.

Also the hypothesized late neolithic one that also killed everyone.

Father Christmas/Santa Claus/Saint Nicholas in his modern gift giving portrayal is a synchronization of Odin, basically in a lot of Odins portrayals he is shown giving gifts as a reward for virtues namely wisdom and bravery. During christianization of both Germany and Scandinavia this element of the god was held onto and simply attached to the Saint.

Also because it’s an absolute mess I’m gonna note that the various cults of the Mother Mary probably have their roots in the cults of Venus/Aphrodite in her motherly aspect, also the Egyptian god Isis is in there somewhere. Frankly speaking early Christianity is a mess of mystery cults and lost context.

So this is only vaguely related but the look of white Jesus is probably based off of Alexander the great through a somewhat roundabout mess. Basically the Colossus of Rhodes was most likely modelled after Alexander this is based off of some surviving contemporary artifacts of Helios which the Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of, cut forward a couple centuries and due to a weird mess of synchronizing religious imagery and coding you end up with Jesus as being portrayed as Helios or at least based off of the Greek god. This is also where the halo most likely comes from, it’s probably derived from the sun beams Helio was portrayed with which sometimes had a halo of light.

Hey now some of us pegged him as a pissant years before he went mask off, but I will admit that for myself it was probably because of racism. I refuse to trust Anglo-Africans, they’re all shifty ass motherfuckers some of them can be shifty in a vaguely respectable way.

Some of us were already banned for such comments, but now we are here being bloodthirsty dickheads. I want to put Musks head in a vice and tighten it till the two plates are dry.
