Is anyone ever going to talk about the fact that George Washington is naked on the US quarter coin?

Look at his clearly defined neck and collarbone. He’s shirtless. Compare to Thomas Jefferson on the US nickel:

or Abraham Lincoln on the penny:

Franklin D Roosevelt on the dime cuts off at his neck, so it’s entirely possible that he’s wearing a shirt but it’s just not showing.

Why did the person who designed the quarter choose to leave him shirtless??? Why would they make the decision to leave his neck and collarbone exposed???? What new conspiracy is behind this wh

apparently modern medieval scholars have no solid idea why there’s so many old paintings of knights fighting snails. Like that wasn’t just one weird painting there’s hundreds of those.

I’m not saying humanity defeated an invasion of snail aliens in the Middle Ages but hold on wait that’s EXACTLY what I’m saying

snail aliens, or snaliens,

sinbadism

probably it was just funny so people kept doing it. which is basically what a meme is

streakoflavender

the explanation I’ve heard is that most of the monks who did these illustrations would have kept small gardens where they grew all their own food and this was their way of venting about snails ruining their gardens

sinbadism

ok thats even funnier

The illustrated boy looks pretty darn pleased with his cute new lace edging.

I can see him now meeting his friends at the soda fountain.

‘Fellows, check out Mom’s latest effort at mind control.’ (spins)

(chorus of whistles and applause)

‘Why, Jimmy, I do believe you’ve started a fashion!’

‘Let’s go to the Woolworth and get lace edging for all our shirts!’

‘Doug can sew them on, he got his Handicraft merit badge last summer!’

‘Never regretted it.’

‘Jimmy, your mom has some internalised misogyny to figure out.’

‘Don’t I know it.’

I think a lot about what catches heaven’s eye. Sometimes it’s different than what catches ours. We naturally look to scale, shininess, numbers, accolades and visibility as significant. Nothing wrong with those. But what draws heaven’s attention is wholeheartedness with whatever God has entrusted you with, whether big or small. And I can’t think of a better thing than being called successful by heaven.
