[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

im just going to go ahead say it: that hitler guy, what a jerk!

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

You know what, I'm inclined to agree

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 11 months ago

Guys... I'm starting to think this Adolf guy isn't so great!

Let me finish reading his Wiki though. Shit's wild.

Bit idea: start prefixing every major historical event with "the first". e.g. "The first 9/11" "the first capitol insurrection" "the first COVID pandemic." That way history books will be ready when they happen again.

The first 9/11 was in Chile.

I get this feeling a lot when I read about a historical event. I want to tell everyone about it.

You guys would not believe happened to King Edward V of England.

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 11 months ago

I'm gonna need a one sentence, 20 word max, non-sourced summary of that.

[-] gvsteve@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

As a child-king he got fucking murdered by his uncle who was supposed to protect him.

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 11 months ago

I was ready to say you cheated by hyphenating, but unfortunately you expertly kept it under 20.

I also feel like I learned unnecessary information about British royalty that I normally try to avoid because I confused Henry V with Edward V. But in fairness to myself, fuck the Brits.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

About the only thing America got right was telling the Brits to fuck off.

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

Me in 9th grade

I love a good wikipedia rabbit hole, never know where you'll end up looking up strange things you run across online...

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

I just thought he was an "Austrian painter". Oh geeze oh fuck its on my timeline. I shared it on X and Facebook! ohnoes

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Careful.... Once I fell down the Wikipedia hole of "Past" it was pretty much over.
