Can we stop all normalising the use of "sc*rvy" as a fun little thing to call people?? I literally had sc*rvy last year and it was even worse than when I got my hand cut off. Fuck anyone who uses the S word without even considering how triggering it can be to those of us who have ACTUALLY suffered though it

wildest argument for piracy i've ever heard was that the gold stored on government ships is dangerous cause it weighs them down, so they're just 'lightening the load'

how to tell which latin poet you’re reading

catullus: does your poem demand a seemingly unreasonable amount of kisses or sexual congresses? does it contain insults that are completely out of proportion with the poet’s perceived offense? are these two themes somehow combined? if any of these, it’s catullus

lucretius: if it talks about how mankind is living in the dark or contains a lot of weirdly philosophical scientific observation, it’s lucretius

cicero: is it about cicero’s life and accomplishments? if so, it’s cicero

vergil: count the number of times the word “bee” occurs. if it’s more than two, it’s vergil.

horace: check if your poem contains the following: hatred of trees, love of friendship, inevitability of death, weird tangents seemingly unrelated to the rest of the poem, political propaganda. if you checked two or more, it’s horace.

propertius: is it love poetry? are there a lot of mythological references? do you sometimes have no idea what the poem is talking about? if you said “yes” to all three, it’s propertius

ovid: is it love poetry? are there a lot of mythological references? is it the smuggest piece of poetry you’ve ever read? if you said “yes” to all three, it’s ovid

sulpicia: is it love poetry? is there a relative lack of mythological references? is the scholarship surrounding your poem ridiculously misogynist? if so, it’s sulpicia

tibullus: if ideal pastoral themes, death, and BDSM are all present in your poem, it’s tibullus 

lucan: does your poem contain thinly-veiled political criticism? does it sound like it was written by someone who listens to too much MCR? if so, it’s lucan

juvenal: does your poem sound like it might have been posted on an MRA forum? if so, it’s juvenal

martial: if your poem is relatively short and designed to offend both a specific target and human decency, it’s martial

Top 10 Monks That Did Crazy Ass Shit for Their God

TIL that in 1903 the New York Times predicted that building a flying machine would be possible in 1-10 Million years.

via ift.tt

[bywandandsword]

To understand how ridiculous this is, the first successful powered airplane flew this same year, 1903

[zipstick]

You’re understating how ridiculous

it wasn’t just the same year. it was nine days later
