Here, we delve into some of the worst torture methods that were employed during ancient times.

Kinda curious how much crossover there is between fans of Cool Zone Media and Dropout. They've got similar vibes, a lot of former employees of a big 2000's comedic media company (Cracked and CollegeHumor, respectively) that fell apart and the employees just kinda started their own thing that's half company and half friend group. Both exist as companies but go out of their way to prioritize consumer satisfaction over profits. Both are very anticapitalist and left-leaning. Jamie Loftus and Vic Michaelis follow each other on Instagram.

Anyway I think they should do a crossover. Get Brennan on BtB. Get Robert Evans, Prop, and Margaret Killjoy on Game Changer.

Getting married is widely considered to be the second most significant bond two people can engage in. The most significant, of course, is being Tumblr mutuals

my favorite episodes are the ones where the guest is kinda a normie and robert says something like

'the navy had an opportunity to sue scot adams and save us all from dilbert forever and they failed at their duty to protect this country [...] this is the worst navy failure since pearl harbor'

and the guest is shocked that he would say that on his podcast. and it's just a standard robert evans goof. comparatively tame especially when you consider the blue apron bit.

11 Reasons You Can Blame the Recession on Worst Torture Methods in Ancient World

The annals of history are replete with horrifying accounts of torture methods that were used in the ancient world. These brutal practices, designed to inflict excruciating pain and suffering, stand as a grim reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty. Here, we delve into some of the worst torture methods that were employed during ancient times.

The Brazen Bull: One of the most infamous torture devices, the Brazen Bull, originated in ancient Greece. A hollow brass statue resembling a bull was used to enclose victims. As a fire blazed beneath, the victim would slowly roast to death, their anguished screams passing through tubes in the statue, creating eerie bull-like sounds.

Scaphism: This nightmarish method was practiced by ancient Persians. The victim would be trapped between two boats or hollowed-out tree trunks, with only their head, hands, and feet exposed. They were then force-fed a mixture of milk and honey, causing diarrhea. The exposed body parts attracted insects, leading to painful, prolonged death from infection.

The Rack: Employed in ancient Rome and beyond, the rack involved stretching the victim's limbs using ropes and pulleys. Joints would dislocate, muscles tear, and bones break, causing excruciating agony and long-term damage.

Flaying: Flaying, or skinning alive, was practiced across cultures including ancient Assyria and medieval Europe. Victims would endure unspeakable pain as their skin was meticulously peeled away, often leading to shock and death from blood loss.

Rat Torture: Practiced during the medieval period, this method involved placing a rat in a container against the victim's body and heating the container. The desperate rat would gnaw through the victim's flesh in an attempt to escape, causing excruciating pain and often death.

Conclusion: These macabre torture methods from the ancient world serve as chilling reminders of humanity's capacity for cruelty. Their use was not only a means of inflicting pain, but also a tool for asserting power and control. Reflecting on these horrors underscores the importance of empathy, respect for human rights, and the continued pursuit of a more just and compassionate world.

I was going to put a podcast on to listen to while I'm making oatmeal bars and cleaning, but I'm trying to listen to the Behind the Bastards podcast in the order they were released, starting in 2018. I started ages ago, but got stuck because it took me about two years to get myself to listen to the Reagan episodes.

Anyway, going back that far on the podcast website is annoying, since there are like 8+ per month. They've all been uploaded to youtube so I'm listening there. I found a way to play them through my media player, so no ads yay.

But they were uploaded in batches, not on the date they were released. So I'm like, there has to be a list somewhere.

Yeah not that I could find. They have them on IMDb for some reason, but they're stupidly organized. They start out in order, but then aren't in order. Sometimes they'll shove in a different year just for the hell of it. I'll find parts four five and six but have to look at a different year to find parts 1 2 and 3 and I don't even know where part 7 went. So instead of doing anything practical I'm sitting here organizing all of the episodes of behind the bastards and a spreadsheet.

So if anyone is interested in a spreadsheet of all of the Behind the Bastards episodes, in order by date, let me know.

Spoiler: Kissinger gets six episodes.

“And one of the things that's really funny here, is that as much as both of these guys suck (and they're both current influential right wing monsters), they both had each others' number twenty years ago. Like: their criticisms of each other are perfectly valid. Chafkin quotes a colleague who talked to each man about the other during this period, and this colleague said: ‘Musk thinks Peter is a sociopath, and Peter thinks Musk is a fraud & a braggart.’ Hey, guys: you're both right. You did it!”

His closet was nothing but skeletons. It was like one of those monasteries built out of the bones of monks. That's Roy Cohn's closet.
