29 Solid Facts That Some People Flat-Out Refuse To Accept

Think they were super close too like only off by 1000km or something. Just read somewhere that they found an ancient tablet that describes Pythagoras's theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) 2600 years prior or something like that. Ancient cultures def werent stupid like the ancient aliens guy keeps putting out

Many Europeans were into the idea that the world was round at the time. Columbus made some mathematical errors and he and his crew would have died if the American continents hadn't been there and it was all ocean.

He must have under estimated the circumference, to think he landed in India, when he was not even halfways there.

And in fact ha HAD underestimated the circumference grossly. I read once that at night, he fumbled with the logs, making it look as if they had already covered a greater mileage than they actually did

He had.

Apparently it was one of the fireside poets that spread that around.

That's not true about Columbus grossly under-estimating the circumference of the earth. Erasthones calculated the circumference extremely accurately over 2,000 years ago.

Well you can, but it's illegal 😂

Or “treats”. But they are “A” students at learning the sound of the treat bag or food can opening. Some are even smarter, and also learn the sound of the opening of cabinet where the cat food is kept.

For mine it's Treat

Mine know that word and definitely “ice cream”. I nearly get knocked over when I tell them we’re having ice cream. They plant themselves right in front of the refrigerator!

Try “treat” next time.

My 1st cat would respond when called, think it waa just because he knew treats were coming.

Bouche and Audi know their names. They also know each other's name. If I want Bouche, I call Audi. If I want Audi, I call Bouche. The one I didn't call gets nosy and jealous, and has to come see what's going on.

And if you go to Asia, he's shown as Asian. If you go to Africa, he's shown as African.

That is because you come from the West. Go beyond and you'll find that he is depicted as every ethnicity on Earth.

It's natural to take someone like that and make him your "own" - as Rinso says, in different regions of the world, he is depicted differently, according to the local appearance and culture.

Meet a Lebanese or a Syrian. It' s not ridiculous at all.

The most familiar Caucasian Jesus was actually the son of a Borgia Pope. His dad told painters to use him as a model because he was a good looking lad. And yes, popes aren't supposed to have sons or daughters.

Everyone knows that Da Vinci's version is the correct one. /s

Has anyone tried to identify where in our 'racial' pantheon is the place for Palestinian Jews?

The fact that so many follow religion is more ridiculous

Yah. He probably looked more like Anwar Sadat than this clown.

This is not about jesus religion, mate. but, solely about his race. jesus always depicted as caucasian male in history. the truth is -according from some newest discovery, jesus have black hair, tan skin and brown eyes. just how middle-eastern looks in that era.

Anyone else sing this in the way it's done in Avenue Q?!

The general consensus based on Roman records is that Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth did indeed exist.

He loves you anyway.

Was about to say that.

Your fictional

Caucasian just means “born west of the Caucus mountains” not white. Hence, the other side, “Asian.”

Jesus is well established as a rabbi when he died. He didn't have a large following because he was giving carpentry advice. But you are right that it would have been extremely unusual for him to have been unmarried. And at the Last Supper, one of the gospels mentioned that the wives and children were there serving the men, but it isn't more specific than that.

Did you ever cop the "No backchatting" thing? I got that a lot but when I asked what it meant, I'd get hit for it because that was apparently backchatting to her.

Yup. Takes some time, you have to find that strength in yourself to know it wasn't you being punished, you can come to grips with it. Going on 60 years and there are still moments when I wonder why....

I'm 63 and my father's words, "Careless, Stupid, and Irresponsible" , still sound in my head whenever I make the slightest mistake. If I say them to myself out loud, my husband always comes to me defense. He's the best medicine there is. But I still hear those words.... Parents can give hurts that last a lifetime.

The "kid being right" does not stop a bad parent!

Wind grade? I meant 2nd grade.

While I agree that verbal abuse is verbal abuse and it is wrong, when it comes from someone who is literally responsible for your every need because you have zero agency of your own, it takes on a whole new dimension.

You are totally wrong! I'm extremely surprised you don't understand mental abuse is included in the physical. The abject fear and anxiety of waiting for the second blow never goes totally away

Same here! My father was a choleric like that, too, and to this day I can't handle it when people yell.
