Excuse me? Not to be rude, but that's nobody's business but the Turks.
Don't you tell me about Istanbul! I had a date in Constantinople once. Double-checked and everything. Turns out she was waiting in Istanbul.
Whatever.
I prefer Miklagard, honestly.
Constantinople is a long time gone. I never knew why it got the works.
Also, Jesus wasn't Christian.
I've actually heard people say he was the first Christian, which I guess means he worshipped himself?
That doesn't sound very Jesusy
It's just an honorary post humus title.
For the record, I'm pretty sure it's "posthumous." I read that as "post hummus" and got very confused about what Jesus has to do with chickpea-based dips for a second.
post hummus
Okay 
I wasn't sure, so I leaned into the autocorrect suggestion. 🤷🏻♂️
You're totally good; I just have this compulsion to correct misused homophones. It makes me pretty insufferable to have in a text thread, but I can't help it sometimes
It's fine but I'm not going to stop misusing homofones
It's people like you that get me outta bed in the morning
You and me both, bro, I am also an insufferable Besserwisser.
No worries! I'm always up for learning!

The funny thing about your correction is that "posthumous" was created as a misspelling itself.
post humus
you can just say pre tabouli
Mmmm, post hummus...
I worship myself all the time

He was Jewish but I guess you could also see him as the first member of the movement he started, which later became separately identified as Christian. But at the time they didn't have that distinction.
So, on the one hand, on the other situation. Jesus didn't identify as a Christian for sure though

Well, until someone creates a “stupidlypedanticfacebook” community I suppose this is the best place for this.
Sushi was created in California. Hence, the name California Roll. Duh.
Wasn't Khemet a completely seperate civilization than the Egypt in the same place today? I think it's totally reasonable to differentiate between them. We don't say Mexicans built Chichen Itza
Even the ancient Egyptians said they where a legacy civilisation.
Honestly how the fuck do you get progressively worse at building pyramids.

Look around you. We're getting progressively worse at building houses, infrastructure, cars, appliances, electronics and software.
Well, I also doubt Hackney chavs kicked off the industrial revolution.
Mexicans did build Chichen Itza. Mayans are Mexicans. They still live there. They still speak the language.
And genetically, the Egyptians who live there today have been shown to be the descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Where do you think they went?
Mexicans didn't build Chichen Itza, the ancestors of some Mexicans did. And those ancestors weren't called Mexicans. We say Mayans built Chichen Itza because that's the name of their civilisation. Their descendants can acknowledge that heritage by calling themselves Mayan, but what they call themselves isn't what determines what their ancestors should be called, much less their citizenship today.

Wait, so calling past societies by an exonym completely invalidates all of the history that they were involved with?
Okay...?
Fun fact, the aliens didn't build the first pyramids. It was in fact the work of extra terrestrial beings
Fun fact, people named Jimmy Corsetti have been commonly known as Dipshittians.
Then there's this strange 'Misr' place that obviously doesn't exist and is made up. Doesn't even sound real.
The capacitor people?
