Wait until I tell you about Istanbul…
Excuse me? Not to be rude, but that’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
From the ancient Turquoise?
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.
Constantinople is a long time gone. I never knew why it got the works.
I prefer Miklagard, honestly.
You mean Carigrad?
Did I say she was a Slav?
I presumed Bulgarian.
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.
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
I cant believe an omnipotent being couldnt just create another god to worship
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.
Even better, humus is a layer of soil and it’s not inaccurate to refer to most people after death as “post soil,” though Jesus is an exception there.
post hummus
Okay
The funny thing about your correction is that “posthumous” was created as a misspelling itself.
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!

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
Jesus didn’t identify as a Christian for sure though
To be fair, he wasn’t crucified until he died… So he wasn’t “Christ” until the very end, I’m thinking.
He did live after dying though. Dude had his time to talk then
Right, but he didn’t do much after that though, did he. So he didn’t walk around much “being” Christ.
Probably had shit to do in heaven or something
Daddy was calling him to empty the dish washer innit. Get your ass up here, boy!
Fun fact, the aliens didn’t build the first pyramids. It was in fact the work of extra terrestrial beings
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.
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.
The aliens who built the first pyramids gradually noticed that the we’re a fucked up species and went back home to Alpha Centaury. Less alien input, less good pyramids, obv. /s
in this case /s clearly means science
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.
Sorry… are you saying modern Mayans are not the same people as ancient Mayans?
Is this true about other indigenous peoples in the Americas?
So the British made Hadrian’s wall and Italy built the Colosseum? Or perhaps a genetically linked but wholly different group of people made those.
Okay, so none of the indigenous people of the Americas today are of the same people who were there before European contact. I see.
I guess we should take away all those reservations. They don’t deserve them.
Edit: Also, no, the Romano-British did not make Hadrian’s Wall. Legions from other parts of the empire did. That’s a poor argument.
What a deranged take.
Edit: Nice edit. That’s the point, they’re not the same people even if map borders after conquest would lead one to believe they were.
I’m going by your own claim. Are the Mayans today of the same people as the Mayans who built Chichen Itza or not?
According to your claim, they are not. Therefore why does any indigenous person need a reservation? Or even deserve to call themselves indigenous?
People have lifespans, they die? As individuals they most definitely are not, and as a people they are only so long as they claim to be
Edit: what I’m trying to say is (most) Egyptians don’t even identify as Khemetians much less call themselves so. So it doesn’t make sense to retroactively call that civilisation a name only its successors are called by other people
Many Egyptians today claim to be of the same people as those who were there in the old kingdom. Genetically, they are correct.
So what’s the difference?
Is that true? I thought not even the people that lived there thousands of years ago considered themselves to be the same as the old kingdom.
Regardless, the difference is that what their descendants are called doesn’t change what they were called. And by calling themselves a different name than their ancestors, their descendants are acknowledging that there is a distinction between the two peoples
Many indigenous groups now call themselves names others used to call them. Because they didn’t have a name for themselves, they were just “the people.”
Incidentally, that includes the Maya people.
There was never a united Mayan empire. It was a collection of city-states that shared a culture. Eventually the descendents of the people of those city-states were referred to by others as Mayan.
So, again, according to your own rationale, the Mayan people of today are not the same people as their indigenous ancestors despite sharing a language and many cultural links.
I think you may be a bit out of your depth here.
Well, I also doubt Hackney chavs kicked off the industrial revolution.
You can make the argument, but then you’d have to fence off at least 6 or 7 different “Egypts”. The precise division would depend on what point you’re trying to make.
The flip side, though, is that that implies you’d only ever draw the lines to make a point, which would mean the reply here isn’t “that’s not true”, but “So? What are you trying to say?”.
Wait, so calling past societies by an exonym completely invalidates all of the history that they were involved with?
Okay…?
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?
