So sad

I'm annoyed at myself for laughing at this. Total dad joke.

Oh dear, the JFK one is brutal

The ol' switcheroo

I'm probably being an idiot, but I don't understand this one.

The old saying needs an update: Nobody expects the Spanish I*********n or the Mongolian Navy. Oh, fúck off, BP. Inquísition? Really?

When you choose your target wrong.

Please turn off the US News, non-Americans. This is our personal humiliation and we'd prefer you didn't watch. Also, is Canada open to immigrants?

Nowadays, yeah. 200 years earlier ... you know, nice landscapes doesn't feed your family. They didn't have any idea, that 200 years later, their grand-grand-grand kids will be in a more shíttier position, than peasants in Medieval Europe.

Okay, And? What it says?

In Australia (Sydney) you drive for 4 hours, you're still in the same traffic jam.

Yes, isn't she thrilled.

Took me a minute, but for my defence, this never was in my curriculum.

It cost a great deal to train and equip a gladiator - I am sure it was frowned upon to lose one in gladiatorial contests.

The Constitution was written in 1787 not 1776

Red Pill

caesar in a freezer!

He was right, though.

Yeah, that face expression is legit. Never happened in their roughly 700-800 years of existence as a specific nation (not modern-time nation). Will never ever happen. Think about the war. Serb neighbours had no problem killing their bosnian ones, with whom they were living together for decades, And vice versa.

That's just calculator in a British accent.

There’s no proof he could, Bybon such a show off !

That's an impressive amount of olive. I miss some martini, but okay.

yeah but this time they're actually on the right side

"How Caesar looked" or 'what Caesar looked like'. Why do so many people get this wrong?

America hasn’t been anything close to an “empire” for anything more than about the last 80 years

But they very efficiently managed to wipe our their naz! image and are now one of the most popular country for their culture, food and tourism, so I'd say that's pretty impressive. (and I hate that I recognized the middle picture)

History tends to focus on German atrocities (which were horrific) but since we can’t seem to walk and chew gum at the same time, we don’t hear much about the ones the Japanese committed which were equally ghastly and, in many cases, worse. The Räpe of Nanking is one of the most brutal things you’ll ever hear about.

Back in 95 people read newspapers and books on trains and buses in order to avoid conversation..

I have heard a description of The Art of War: these ideas were written down to try to get basic competence into court officials who had been sent to command troops. These officials had no education about the military, and maybe no interest. Simplicity and repetition in the Art of War, then, is along the lines of "As I wrote in my last email, ..." --- Whether this notion is true or not I don't know. I mention it just as a joke, but don't take it seriously.
