The earth is not a magical center of the universe, it’s just convenient right now to use it as a frame of reference no need to associate it to magical thinking.

Man the gnome looks so smug regardless of the race.

There are no ancient sources stating that salary was literal salt bring handed to roman soldiers, I believe the current best theory is that it was “money for salt” that was given to soldiers.

I’d like to add to the list a few entries on history and physics channels:

-The Histocrat: in depth video essays regarding the history of many neolithic to bronze age cultures around the world as well as the history of several mythological creatures.

-Fall of Civilizations: podcast describing a detailed picture of many ancient cultures around the world, from their beginings to their golden ages to their fall.

-North02: EXTREMELY detailed videos (sometimes bordering on documentaries) about many stone age cultures and topics, I loved his essay on neanderthals and just how long it was.

-Trey the Explainer: great YouTube channel talking about many topics that often dive into history. I recommend watching his video on the first joke in history.

-Angela Collier: AMAZING channel regarding physics with the great Angela Collier, if I remember correctly she has a PhD and has explained many physics topics history of physics and physics as an academic field.

-PBS SpaceTime: I think this one is WAY more recognized but in case it is not, this channel is physics oriented and also provided very detailed explanations of many topics of the field.

Good point there, I forgot livestock was a thing.

In an age of no currency existing, what other pay would have been good compensation in your mind?

Thank you! Guess I’ll just stick to ancient pronunciations on these topics.

Since we’re on the topic there’s this historical word that I haven’t heard pronounced in English, Alexander the Great had a bunch of generals that were called the Diadochi, I haven’t seen this term pronounced in English, but recently I’ve taken into account the way English speakers pronounce words and I was wondering if the way I’m pronouncing it in English is correct or if I am just wrong.

I’ve been pronouncing it in an English context as: “Die-a-Dough-key” I’m no linguist so I’m not sure how to write pronunciations sorry if it looks dumb.

Man this Olympics have been extremely disappointing on these aspects, for me personally I began to tune out during the initial ceremony when they started to pull the whole minions scene they did. It just feels like either a cash grab or a corporate scam.

I remember reading or listening to a short story where the author described what would’ve happened if Elrond had pushed Isildur into the fire in order to destroy the ring. If I remember correctly Elrond emerges from mount doom and eventually communicates what happened at the peak and his action of killing Isildur in order to destroy the ring, this ends up angering the humans who would later start a war with the elves in order to avenge the death of Isildur. This leads to massive casualties on both the human and elven side but the war abruptly stops as a massive rain suddenly appears and lasts for many many days, flooding the world and destroying it. Finally, it is revealed that the rain was caused by the tears of Illuvatar being shed over the terrible slaying of his children amongst themselves.

Que rabia da lo que sucedió y es algo que personalmente no espero que los gringos o los demás angloparlantes aquí vayan a entender. Que un día lleguen elecciones justas a Venezuela.

Damn, looking at the comments here I realize sometimes I DO have more knowledge on some topics than other people. If you guys don’t know that’s a bronze sword, bronze is a metal that’s well known due to its corruption-resistant properties. When bronze develops that green patina you see on the sword it also creates a sort of protective layer that shields the rest of the metal from oxygen and prevents it from rusting away.

Quick note meant to say corrosion not corruption lmao.

This whole debate among the American left just feels to me as a big sign of “letting perfect be the enemy of good”

Who would be Blair in this case?

Perhaps he meant that he strops his knives? Incredibly important to do so in order to maintain their sharpness.

Why do you refuse to answer the comments disproving you?

Ok but how do you suggest we stop people from stealing catalytic converters?

So they’re finally going for the buildings made by Europeans calling them impossible and made by aliens, we’ve gone full circle now.

I’m actually curious on this one, I don’t have gym equipment or membership, is there something else I can do to compare performance if I were to masturbate vs if I didn’t?
