I upvote stuff. It's just what I do.
Anything claiming to grant nobility is a scam. That’s simply not how noble titles work.
I asked a guy in a bar in York, UK, to get out for wearing one last week. I have no regrets.
Is one of those ways ‘you’re a joyless buzzkill’?
Which is fair, cos it was very funny
Good thing they hit a tree in a park then, not a fence post in a mine
In Britain, the weather might be shit, the food might be wanting and the government might be useless, but at least the wind doesn’t actively try to kill us
The highest of praise.

Wrong country buddy. This is a UK post.
You have to admire the bravery of a bird that is prepared to attack a creature 600 times its size, over a lack of breadsticks.
Even the glorious battles and legendary kings stuff is pretty low stakes. ‘Our glorious ancestor fought a great battle!’What was he fighting for? ‘Er, cows, mainly’
Yeah, you can use madder root. Reds and oranges woudl have been pretty common. To get red, you would just need to use hard warter with lots of calcium carbonate in it.
Also, the conceit if the sovereign nation-state basically solidified at the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, which ended the 30 years war. You say people wouldn’t have understood the idea of a people deserving a country of human rights, like it would’ve been alien to them. In reality, these ideas were literally causing massive social upheaval (like the Diggers), philosophical discussion and outright political conflict, including wars and civil wars (like the Wars of the Three Kingdoms).
But even in the 1600s, which you mentioned, people would’ve understood. Locke, Hobbes, the Bill of Rights of 1689, the Levellers, the Diggers, some of the philosophy and discussion in the civil war,all of this would’ve meant that someone in the 1600s would’ve understood the idea of human rights. The terminology was different and the idea was less developed, but it didn’t spring into existence in the 19th or 20th centuries.
1848 wasn’t all that long ago.
Here we see an air harvester, hard at work
Denmark has one of the highest average standards of living in the world.
Dad?
And to think some people claim dogs can’t smile….
I dunno, if we’re comparing republicans to the Nazis in ‘45, it’s a poor comparison. But comparing them to the Nazis in ‘30 or ‘32, i think that’s fair.
Giraffes are often quite inquisitive and curious creatures around humans, as long as they don’t feel threatened. Still potentially dangerous, and should be treated with caution and respect, like any wild animal, but like to investigate new things they see.
It’s common courtesy.

Wow that was so…unnecessary
