2024-11-17 01:31:08 +0000 UTCThis. It's kinda wild that it was stated as a fact and not just once. Wish they invited Janega or Wyman to guest on this one tbh.

2024-11-09 19:57:15 +0000 UTCJust wanted to note that the whole uncle / niece fucking might be completely made up by a couple of dudes that blamed Eleanor for pretty much everything that went wrong during the Crusade. Basically that the only reason these righteous dudes failed utterly was because this horny unclefucker weaseled her way into the Crusade, packed too much shit, and brought a lot of girls with her. I get that the incest version is funnier, in a "look at these inbred medieval freaks" way, but it's probably just scapegoating. It's not unknown for "historians" of the time to use incest as a way to smear someone, especially a woman.

2024-11-07 00:19:41 +0000 UTCJoe and crew. You should cover the Battle of Didgori from this same era. Was it 15k Georgians vs 30k Seljuks? Or was it 10k Georgians vs a million Turks? Who cares!?! All that matters is Seljuks getting absolutely STOMPED by a much smaller force. Also bonus points for South Caucasians.

Henry
2024-11-06 18:23:49 +0000 UTCAnd as for 1984 and its Communist society, Orwell was absolutely a socialist. But he was also very much against communism as it was under Stalin. He didn't like capitalism but hated totalitarianism even more. George was most definitely not a tankie.
LeobaL
2024-11-06 18:10:08 +0000 UTCThis period of European history amuses me for another reason. One of the major arguments you hear about colonialism is "those coloured people just spent all their time fighting each other! We brought peace and civilisation!" Meanwhile, for hundreds of years, Europeans had been... spending all their time fighting each other. The fued between Conrad and Louis spanned generations, and the Crusader territories didn't like each other much either.

2024-11-06 18:07:05 +0000 UTCI got one better, instead of ham in jello, use hotdogs, boil them, don’t toss the water. Get you a jello pack, chop the hotdogs and take a filler and fill them Miracle whip. Then open the Jello pack mix into the hotdog water, add some peas and carrots, then add the hotdogs and overnight. BOOM! Tasty HotDog and Veggies Jello.

Svennie
2024-11-06 15:40:17 +0000 UTCWhen you said Konrad, I immediately thought of what if Conrad von Hötzendorf led a crusade.
