i think people forget that its ok to like some bad music. everyone likes bad music. and not all shallow music is bad. yeah sure maybe this song about partying is just about partying but so what. people at parties probably want good party songs. like if your top song on spotify is one of the latest pop hits theres literally nothing wrong with that. its messed up that people get all high and mighty about listening to weevil and the heebiejeebies or whatever while shitting on some other person for liking mainstream artists.

happy spotify wrapped season or whatever what an important time to remember this

love it whenever dan and phil go "this is tasteful" and it's about the most godawful design choices known to mankind

Kijk, niet iedereen die PVV heeft gestemd heeft dat gedaan omdat "alle allochtonen het land uitgeschopt moeten worden en er een verbod moet komen op de Koran in Nederland.", maar ze hebben wel PVV gestemd met de kennis dat dat een groot deel van hun standpunten zijn, en dat boeit ze dus niet genoeg om er niet op te stemmmen.

Since I'm not sure if these are still available elsewhere online - Here's just all of the CPGs (and a bunch of other tailoring manuals from goodness knows where) - The one about cutting livery garments is really interesting, and has a load of stuff at the start about both the economics and the social side of being "in service", and the guide to clerical wear is remarkably funny - I always get the feeling that Mr Vincent was a catty, witty man who just could not resist being a little cutting in his cutting guides XD

thank you!!

...I'd have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice

any other dutchies terrified this election

Well I would give a medieval peasant some spaghetti.

1. They don’t have forks. I would hand them a fork with it and see what they do.

2. They don’t have tomatoes. This is something they can never experience again

3. I would let them keep the plate because it’s a nice plate and I think they’d like it

i love it when a post comes with its own FAQs

what the fuck do you mean they didn't have tomatoes

Tomatoes are not native to Afroeurasia and generally wouldn’t have been available on that continent before the Colombian exchange. When we refer to medieval peasants we’re usually referring to the poor of Europe and west Asia between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of what we now call the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. A time before the so-called age of exploration and colonization brought food such as tomatoes, maize, and potatoes to Afroeurasia and domesticated animals such as pigs and chickens to the Americas. European cuisine of the poor and rich alike before the Colombian exchange would still have been tasty with their wide selection of game meat, herbs, vegetables, and grains, but tomatoes would not have been available to them and that’s why I want to give a medieval peasant a plate of Italian-American style spaghetti with marinara sauce just like dad used to make

wait so. italy? i guess it’s not called afroeurasitaly, but…so “italian” food used to not have tomatoes? until they came from the americas? and they they what, decided “hey let’s just rebuild our national identity around these tasty christmas tree ornaments”? centuries of italy were lasagna-free and i’m just supposed to accept this

They had lasagna. It just didn’t look like what we think of lasagna today. It was more like layers of flat noodles with spices and cheese on a plate that you ate with your hands rather than a baked dish.

If you look at ancient Roman food there’s certain things we’d recognize as “Italian” like olive oil or fermented fish sauce or cheese but the flavor profile is completely different and pasta isn’t anywhere to be found. They also had herbs and spices that have since become unpopular or even gone extinct.

A lot of things we view as unmovable and unchanging about certain culture’s cuisines are incredibly recent developments. Modern Indian cuisine for example can be traced back to a singular guy in the 16th century. And these days lard is considered to be integral to making tamales but that wasn’t used until the Spanish brought over pigs and cows.

Food culture is something that can change very rapidly. Sometimes within a single generation. People generally use what they have available and what’s available can change at a moment’s notice.

This feels like watching a clown get questioned by the crowd before they pull out a history textbook and proceed to whack the audience repeatedly with it

That sums up pretty well what it’s like to be me yeah

we still have one day left

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

This is better than I'd ever hoped for, I bet a rat could kill you with that thing by firing a laser back in time and electrocuting your grandfather

Just look at this thing

The rat gun is hereeeeee!

This is getting notes again so I will admit that "rat gun" was an autocorrect error and it was supposed to be "ray gun."

But it'll always be a rat gun to me.

The most expensive thing in these pictures was the cat, and he was $60.

I'll be honest--I forgot that the pump organ desk/bar was visible in the background, and it was NOT under $60.

It was actually $75.

The chairs, however, were paid for in human life. I inherited them; they were originally my great grandmother's. But they're not particularly rare-- you can find these exact chairs without a lot of effort, in reasonable shape, for not that much money. They made a lot of them.

your gazelle has a pearl choker

That's Hadrian. He's a bush buck and he loves fashion.

Hi you asked this question and I immediately went to the pottery studio to make a calcifer to put in my woodstove.

Will update if he survives the kiln.

i am still on tenterhooks vis a vis calcifer 🥺🥺🥺

I just brought him home from the pottery studio and wired him for light. He lives!!!!!

OP just wondering do you like have the closet to Narnia tucked in there somewhere?

Dude, c'mon, these things take time.

Give me a couple hours.

Okay!! We have doordrobe! It's not quite done but after nearly turning myself into an hellpancake while carrying this in from the garage to the house, I feel like I should call it a night.

Right now it's not going into a secret room (but the Angel of Death (And WiFi) behind it does have a secret compartment for my router? Does that count) but Malice and Vice are still exploring it like it's a whole new world.

The House of Horrors continues to be...well, exactly what it is.

Oh, no, all radioactive materials go in The Box.

please explain. Do you actually have a lead lined box for radioactive objects, or are you just talking about the router behind the painting?

The Box.

Doxxing this person:

whoah hey man don't give out my address to strangers on the internet they're gonna mess with my schemes.

and anyways I'm not sure yet if I want to install a lightning effect ceiling. It's cool but it would be hard to dust...

They're the same picture.

I realized looking at these that I absolutely still relate to her as a person, not a puppet, and that is magical.

In looking at these photos, I'm reminded that people routinely forget that Miss Piggy is not a real person when they interact with the puppet.

completely obsessed with the fact that ed and fang missed the entire cursed suit plot bc they were out fishing the whole day

@blakbonnet lmao, your tags! 😂😂😂

I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"

I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir

@aydascomprehendsubtext

the medieval peasant I brought into the present and am explaining society to: So, these "CEOs", they are akin to... burgher kings?

me: hold that thought. We need to go somewhere right now

i’ve literally been here the whole time
