Other: Joke (J+)

Total: 3/12 (J+) Information Quality: Poor Consideration: Likely disinformation from an AI regurgitating an Onion article. This post is clearly satire.

Explanation: The information provided is likely from this Onion article. Despite the evident satire, it appears that cultural consumption of different kinds of earth is not unheard of (1; 2). The first citation states that people may eat rocks because of anemia, GI distress, or cravings. However, health consequences of this behaviour are not well known.

they told me not to eat rocks but google has my back

An archaeological look at the history of games through East Asia

As an archaeologist and historian of gameplay and material culture, I’d be delighted to provide you with a brief overview of the history of games in East Asia and beyond the Western canon. Games have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, serving as a source of entertainment, education, and social interaction. Let’s dive into the rich gaming traditions of East Asia and explore some…

”you’re biased against men!” but am I wrong?

"He did a roman salute, not a nazi salute!!!1!11!1!!"

You mean the roman salute, also known as the fascist salute, that mussolini adopted in fascist italy and nazi germany copied for themselves? That salute?

Even if he meant to do a roman salute, it's still a fascist symbol. The only reason you're making a big deal about semantics is because it makes the elongated pissbaby sound slightly less horrible to the average person.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

Incorruptible chap 3 pt 9

I like to think that when they got along, Brissot and Camille sang Revolution Songs together (they're not drunk, they're just...Brissot and Camille together in a room).

Also, the song is VERY loosely translated from this song, made in 1791. Robespierre was featured in songs as far back as that! Because the song seems to pursue rhyming over other elements, I also chose rhyming over a more direct translation.

Another also: thank you @anotherhumaninthisworld for several posts and links, which helped me figure out Brissot more easily, alongside discovering that he's like *ridiculously* short lol

also shoutout to the woman who wanted to argue with me that, even though the earliest known source of one=piece unglazed bisque dolls being called "Frozen Charlottes" after Elizabeth Oakes Smith's 1841 poem Fair Charlotte, Or A Corpse Going To A Ball is from collectors in the 1940s and pretty much all known 19th century sources call them "penny dolls" or "penny babies"

because I couldn't prove that nobody ever called them that back then, so it might be true! I needed to stop ruining a good story! we all have different opinions, and hers is just as valid as mine! :) :) :)

excuse me while I scream into a pillow

I’m so glad to be Jewish. Even as we endure the shittiness of our supposed allies alongside the outright disdain from those who have always hated us, I’d so much rather be Jewish than a part of either other group. They have power. They have influence. They have access to thousands of years of historical data and testimony. They have every advantage. But we have a dignity they never will.

Okay but what if Bucky gets found out by HYDRA and Zola after capture because Dugan and Gabe are always ushering him to the back away from possible notice, to the point it backfires and draws suspicion. When they pick him out HYDRA orders him to recite the Lord's Prayer and Bucky recites what he always remembers Steve saying. The Prayer he made sure to remember before he was shipped out just in case something like this happened.

Only... Steve is Catholic. The Prayer that Bucky's heard Steve and some of his fellow soldiers recite is different from the one a Protestant would recite and his dog tags say he's a Protestant. He didn't even know they said the Prayer differently.

Homosocial – homoromantic – homoerotic – homosexual

A lot of people who talk about 18th century queerness treat these concepts as existing on a linear scale of "straight" to "gay", or as a progression of increasing queerness.

But that kind of framing isn't accurate. There's no line that we can draw here beyond which things become definitively queer. There were homosexual acts that had very little queerness to them, and homoromantic relationships that were fundamentally queer without ever (to our knowledge) straying beyond the emotional.

I actually think it was Rashid who put those Fred Stein photos in the file he's sick of their shit

Tbh it’s kinda funny to me how ADAMANT some people are that rape fantasies create rapists because like,,,, if you look back at early erotica, a LOT of it was rape fantasies. Some of these books were even like, written and enjoyed by women. I feel like historically this is a pretty common and admittedly popular sexual fantasy.

wait is evie’s outfit explicitly meant to be inspired by ezio’s. with the cape and everything. it’s clearly still hers, but especially compared to jacob’s, i think it becomes really really obvious that hers is reminiscent of ezio’s. AND there’s concept art of her cape having the same insignia as his??? this is so funny to me. ezio fangirl evie is real and can hurt you. with a hidden blade.

While personally the way the game presents non-binary people is not the way I would do it—I wouldn't go so far as use this terminology in a fantasy setting, but it's also NOT unplausible—I WILL defend it with my life. Including a non-binary character who hasn't figured themself out before being presented to the audience will always be jarring in this political climate, I doubt you can present it in a "delicate" way that wouldn't be "too much in your face."

also happy to report I did not experience any weirdness. my fellow germans sat through this dead serious, it’s the way we just never feel any emotion outwardly, we are used to being uncomfortable, no one had any audible reactions, no laughter, nothing. only overheard positive reactions afterwards.

[bonesmarinated]

out of context over here but this make me laugh everytime i think of it so im posting it lmao
