Yeah, Marcus Aurelius can fuck right off with that blankets dig

seriously M. Aurelius' book helped me a lot when I was depressive. It so humane and so thoughtful, I don't know, it shined through.
huffdogg
Aurelius is still pretty impressive to this day.

Idk about Napoleon being attacked by rabbits but Jimmy Carter was for sure attacked by a rabbit once. Seriously look it up.
rshini
the rabbit thing is true, they were domestic rabbits brought in for a hunt, and being tamed, they swarm the guy who they thought had food

TIL, pineapples were the memes of the 18th century

CaptCanada
It was less of a meme and more of a look at my fancy fruit, they take a long time to grow and you have to ship it an insanely long way.
Kangabear
I think they were referring to the fact that people carried them around until they were rotting... Like we do with memes
EddieKlep
+1 to you Kangabear

I like how the Egyptian axe has detailed visual instructions on how to use it, as if those instructions were referred to on a daily basis.

Fun fact about those pineapples, totally true. They are still used today to represent hospitality and wealth. I used to work door-to-door in
HaydenAndMabel2
I know, isnt it weird!
CJoh88
Virginia, DC and Maryland. You will find them on EVERYTHING. Door knockers, welcome mats, doorbells, mailboxes. Got curious after seeing
CJoh88
Them everywhere and learned they used to be signs of great wealth and status in the early stages of imports.

I see op realised many of these "facts" were wildly inaccurate and decided to give up and go with memes.

Except for the French monkey. I'm from that neck of the woods. Google Hartlepool monkey. There's even a song about it.

171 bottles is nothing special for 55 people...
Autocorrectpixledit
But how big were these bottles
jfmh1073
A quick google says we can assume the wine bottles were the same 750ml as our modern bottles. I'm comfortable assuming 1/?
jfmh1073
The same size whiskey bottle, and 8 servings in a pinch bowl sounds about right. If beer, porter, and cider are all single-serve 2/?
jfmh1073
That works out to about 12-13 drinks per person. Hell of a party... (Wine = 4 glasses/bottle, whiskey = 16.5 shots/bottle) 3/3

My mum is huge into genealogy (LDS)... apparently Harold Bluetooth is my direct Great+ Grandfather on my dad's side. *shrug*
fulminatrix
I wish I could do more genealogy, but I always say I come from a long and noble line of bastards. I don't have much to go on.
HaydenAndMabel2
Cool!
TheSealPushedMe
That's rad! Genealogy, I am doing it, my genealogy... ????

You should sue for the patent to Bluetooth technology.

The amount that would cost just to hear a judge laugh at me and throw it out wouldnt be worth it imo. Lol

So genetically you are already addicted to blueberries
HikariShade
They *are* pretty nifty. And you can put them in any desert!
CommunCreator
Blueberries are native to North America and weren’t introduced to Europe until about 500 years after Harald died. He just had bad teeth.
doesntmatter
False. What is called "blue berries" in most Euro languages is simply called bilberries in English, which is Euro native. Just a mix up.
HikariShade
Vikings also used to dye their teeth by filing grooves and rubbing pigment into them. He could have literally had a blue tooth.
doesntmatter
Oh I totally think this (or the more disgusting he had such bad teeth theory) is far more likely, I just wanted to make the mixup clear
doesntmatter
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_myrtillus#Confusion_between_bilberries_and_American_blueberries

Genealogy was my favorite part of being Lds too, it's neat but I was the only one in my family and it got overwhelming, I should do more
HikariShade
My mom's huge into it. She spends hours every week on it and is part of every geneology site out there. Because we hit royalty on my dads >
HikariShade
<< side of things, it was a lot easier. Upper classes/royalty kept much better geneological records. I think shes got dads side traced >>
HikariShade
<< to like 45BC or something like that. My maternal grans side's only traced to about 1400's. Maternal granpa was native so short records..
pukeachew
Wow! I was hoping for that... I'm pretty sure my last few, 1870s and 80s, were pregnant unwed teens from Ireland... Much more difficult ha
