me explaining modern homophobia to aristotle

Byzantine history be like:

In 874 Emperor Kostalogous IV ascended to the throne after blinding sixteen nephews, and married his wife, Theodora.

However, he soon ran afoul of the Patriarch of Constantinople, Theopelagionikus, and his wife Theodora.

In 895 he was deposed by his general, Justiniapelomaxorianous II, and his wife Theodora.

This created nine new church schisms.

banned from homeric scholarship circles for calling achilles a ragepilled kleosmaxxer

[thoodleoo]

achilles: Hateful as Hades' Gate, to me, is the man who thinks one thing and says another. So here is my decision. Neither Agamemnon nor any other Greek will change my mind, for it seems there is no gratitude for ceaseless battle with our enemies. He who fights his best and he who stays away earn the same rewar-

odysseus: the ragerrrrrr

There’s a branch of the Medicis that moved to Ireland and now are running a successful chain of fried chicken restaurants which is a very different vinbe from when they were like buying popes and stuff

[memecucker]

The current heir to the main branch of the Hapsburg family is an endurance race car driver

[sraithpics]

Correction: it's not the Medicis who run the Dublin fried chicken shops, but the direct decendants of the enemies of the Medici; the Borgias. The chain is called Borza and is better known for fish and chips. They moved to Ireland in the early 20th century. They are also said to have introduced the deep fried Mars bar from Scotland to Ireland.

[digital-magus]

The Borgias, among the most feared and reviled families in European history, running a fish 'n chips shop with deep fried Mars bars is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. It's like something from a D&D campaign where they decided to completely change genres.

God I love Homeric epithets

[wolfythewitch]

Agamemnon is lord of men, wide ruling

Achilles is matchless, swift footed

Hector is a man killer, breaker of horses

Odysseus is resourceful, long enduring

Menelaus is a ginger

I just found the absolute WORST diagram of the human heart. It is an affront to science.

Are you sure. Are you absolutely POSITIVE.

Well. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Prepare yourself.

It gets worse the longer you look at it.

[therobotmonster]

People think of children as either sweet and innocent or too stupid to cause much trouble and both views are wrong. A child of elementary school age has the moral reasoning and impulse control of a racoon paired with problem solving equal to or superior to an adult’s, yet unbound by the shackles of cautionary experience or awareness of long-term consequence. 

This is what allows the children to both create a black market in live bioweapons while still only valuing said weapons at 25 cents.
