Unfortunately, I just share memes I find, I’m not the creator.
Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

PugJesus@lemmy.worldOPMto Illustrations of history@lemmy.world•Ancient Roman undergarmentsEnglish7·4 hours agoAs a side note, togas are distinctly Roman (as thick semicircular cloth that’s folded over/around a tunic) and the Romans actually disliked wearing them because they were uncomfortable and unbearably hot formal wear XD
The Greek exomis, a simpler and more comfortable garment that’s worn on its own, is sometimes confused for a toga in popular culture.

It was attempted to be closed, multiple times.
PugJesus@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•These liberals aren't bothering to fight the administration over tariffs, says /r/conservative user. (Comment removed by mods).English8·9 hours agoNo, because they’ll immediately vote conservative the next chance they get anyway.
No amount of suffering will cure the vast majority of these people. They will be licking the boot even as it crushes their skull in their final moments.
PugJesus@lemmy.worldMto A Comm for Historymemes@lemmy.world•Boys will be girls and girls will be boysEnglish32·9 hours agoDo you not understand the phrase or its history? Is there any additional information I could provide to help you better understand what is being communicated?
No, don’t worry, I understand just what’s being played at. But you keep playing at purity politics in the hopes of putting fascists in power.
PugJesus@lemmy.worldOPMto Lord Of The Rings Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•"Now I rule over everything in Middle Earth worth ruling!"English12·9 hours agoOnce when playing a D&D game, my character was a very ‘civilized’ guildsman who constantly went on about the superiority of urban mercantilist civilization (his counterpart, the other player in the group, was a half-orc barbarian who found this whole civilization thing very appealing; we made a good team). When one quest sent us to a halfling village in the middle of the woods, and they rebuffed all my character’s offers to buy land for ‘productive enterprises’, he, of course, came to the wholly normal and completely correct conclusion that ‘these people’ did not even have the concept of private property, how sad! and resolved to educate them (by force if necessary) after the quest was finished of the benefits and necessity of a thriving bourgeois society.
Luckily for the halflings, our two-miscreant party was locked up by the local lord afterwards for a combination of kidnapping/theft/attempted sale of halflings who had been turned into stone by the cockatrice we had slain; and we were set loose on another problem (though not before committing unlawful commerce and gambling our unlicensed profits away at the local tavern playing dragon poker).

US, USSR, China, the UK, France, was there any major power not selling to both sides of that fucking conflict?
PugJesus@lemmy.worldOPMto Historical Artifacts@lemmy.world•Ornate iron door knockers, Germany, late 16th century ADEnglish2·10 hours agoNot sure, couldn’t comment anything beyond the notes of the source for sure, but acid-etching would also have been an option at this time, if a cutting-edge one.

Next level losers there, goddamn.

PugJesus@lemmy.worldOPMto A Comm for Historymemes@lemmy.world•Not that there wasn't plenty of slaver religious sentiment going on tooEnglish33·21 hours agoExplanation: In the US Civil War, fought over the secessionist South’s insistence on maintaining chattel slavery for Black folk, one of the major anti-slavery strains was explicitly religious, based on the idea that we were all children of the Christian God and thus inherently equals - making slavery, and especially racially-based slavery, an abomination.
They made some good tunes with that in mind.
PugJesus@lemmy.worldOPMto A Comm for Historymemes@lemmy.world•NEPTUNE, YOU VICIOUS BASTARDEnglish6·22 hours agoExplanation: The Roman Emperor Caligula once ordered his troops to ‘make war’ on Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, by stabbing the incoming tides and collecting seashells as booty. Interpretations of this act… vary. Some attribute it to Caligula’s supposed madness - others, to him having a bit of a lark by exercising how total his control as Emperor was (“I can make you lot do anything, no matter how stupid or humiliating” sort of thing, very popular amongst tyrants of all ages). Some say it was to humiliate the troops for refusing to go on a supposed campaign to Britannia, which was not yet conquered at that point.
This poor pupper is a prime recruit for Caligula’s next campaign against the brutality of Neptune!

B, wishing for F
A little victory and a little drinky to go with it would both be nice.
