If you re-record a VHS tape once, it’ll probably look just as good as the first recording.

If you reuse the same tape over and over again it starts to get wonky.

I once watched this video where they continued copying vhs from the previous version

What a great video! I guess that's why we used to keep a "Master Copy" that was never played, other than when it was being duplicated.

"For House Targaryen, the ideal marriage was brother-to-sister, or failing that, marrying close kin such as cousins, uncles, or nieces. This practice preserved the "blood of the dragon," "

Imma say this meme hits the nail on the head there

Heavily depends on when in the timeline you're looking at. They had stopped the sibling boinking for a good while by the time A Game of Thrones starts.

Her parents and grandparents were both siblings were they not? The only way she could have gotten more inbred was if she was a daughter of twins lol

Were they? I though they stopped that a few centuries previously due to pressure from the church.

Her parents were the mad king and his sister wife Rhaella. Who bore 8 kids, 3 made it to "adults". The first being Rhaegar. The biological father of Jon Snow. Meaning the two main characters who were uncle/niece, fucked and Jon's kids could have been his cousins if she had gotten pregnant
