#5 Those stories are about rich people. If you were poor I think they just beat you with a stick till you got back to work.
applesforjuice
Yeah poor people couldn't write, couldn't afford paper, didn't have a way to publish/nobody went into their office when they died and published their musings.

#1 i was in a cowboy bar in tokyo and the two bartenders and other customer spoke zero english. I managed to order a beer (biru) and just sat there. Then i noticed that both bartenders had a bunch of keychain figures and i also knew who they where, because a friend had forced us to watch one piece during lunch the day before. So i was like one piece! And they where like hai! Dangled one and said like.. Favoritu and i was like crocodile and then we where best friends for a few hours.

#1 I once was in a local restaurant and at the next table was a man and a woman; it turned out to be a first date. The woman turned out to be a Japanese diplomat. The man would not stop talking about how much he loved samurai films.
MissSpelledTattoo
First and last date, most likely.

I think it was S.O.S. by Apocalyptica that did me in.

#18 wasn't that partly a premise of an episode of Supernatural? Some ancient Aztec warrior dies and his organs go to some people who start acting strangely?

seriously though, finding a spherical rock really makes my day, always has, i know a place where all (vast majority) of the stones are like that, it’s a secret though.

#5 something I've realized recently is the vast majority of the "classical" literature that exists is from the tiny minority of wealthy people. I feel like it's been changing over time. The already wealthy people still have more opportunities to become writers, but there's a lot more successful writers nowadays that didn't start off rich.
Jattetont
Hmm, I'm not so sure. Many of the most famous writers throughout history experienced at least periods of poverty, either because they were born poor, or by later misfortune or mismanagement of their finances. In many cases they were like Jane Austen (dependent on wealthy relatives) or Dorothy L. Sayers (privileged in her education, but certainly not wealthy until she became a bestselling author): telling stories of wealthy characters to live vicariously a life they could not themselves afford.

#42 not cannons, but firearms specifically. Or hand held cannons. Knights took a long time to train compared to a massed group of people with guns with just enough accuracy, once guns became cheap enough to produce
ArkoneAxon
It wasn't the guns themselves, it was the logistics. Knights were simply too EXPENSIVE compared to well trained infantry. That being said... yeah, the knights got hit with cannonballs and bullets. That's where the expression "bulletproof" came from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofing_(armour)
badgesweedontneednostinkingbadges
I thought the longbow was the weapon which made armor obsolete. An arrow shot from a longbow was able to penetrate plate armor. Cannon was used to break up formations of archers (1460).
LeSethX
Longbows and expert archers have existed for millennia, mostly in Persian/eastern armies (but also Crete was famous for their archers), long before knights existed, although other fairly heavily armored infantry were around. Personally, I think knights were a counter to expert archers, as shrugged off a lot of arrows.
Keairan
Yup. Heavy armor didn't go fully obsolete until after the Napoleonic wars, but highly trained and highly skilled knights were gone well before the 30 years war.

Huh, no fuckin joke- I usually struggle just to find the roots like how reading Chaucer would be grind. And this is like plain as a highway sign. That's interesting!

who the fuck even is trash jones? (commenting this under all posts with a random tweet from her until somebody explains whotf she is)
igglebotato
Well, here's her Twitter bio: "full-time music supervisor, part-time idiot"
ioscius
yeah yeah, i've gotten that far, too, just like what about her made screenshots of her tweets show up in all corners of the internet. there are plenty of quasifunny part-time idiots whose tweets do not show up all over the place, so i am curious as to why hers do. otherwise I've been asking this for a good 6 months everytime i catch her in a dump and this is the first response i've gotten, so i salute you @igglebotato
