A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Well if modern travel wouldn't be so upset with the whole "why did you murder them" response of "they were fucking annoying", it would improve things drastically.
I just opened the door and tossed them out of it. They wouldn't shut up about wanting the flight to end, and being back on the ground as fast as possible...
Now that baby in 16E...
Dude, you seem to have been for way too long inside an airplane.
I know, but they wouldn't let me drive it. It's just like gta, just gotta go full power. We would have been there by now if I was in charge...
Everything is relative even if we agree that some things are absolute by convention. An unchanging signal doesn't carry much information. 😄
Everything is relative
Yeah, but this is a cheeky meme. Less an issue of relative experience and more an issue of crusaders being zealous idiots who had no idea of the logistics of long distance travel. The history of the Crusades plays out more like a locust epidemic than a military campaign. It was half a year of religious militants moving from village to village along the Mediterranean coast, stripping small communities to the bone and vacuuming up other easily indoctrinated young men or butchering them if they were in opposition.
The Crusades were - at least at the outset - a European solution to the "surplus males" problem that have plagued civilizations with heavy concentrations of wealth since time immemorial. When you have a bunch of old people who are terrified of being murdered in their beds by upstart ambitious youths, you can promise them fantastic rewards for doing something absurdly dangerous and stupid. It wasn't a jaunt across the country for a week at the Useless Corporate Crap Convention. It was a kind of self-inflicted eugenics.
At least the monks could vape.
To be fair a lot of things never get better unless people are complaining and TSA is one of them.
Are we assuming a 6 month journey didnt come with exhaustion and certain death from starvation, pneumonias, dysentery, disease, infections, freezing and trauma from attacks on the way ? In cooler moist climates a mere cut could be life or death back then. There was not any penicillin.
Have you not heard the horror stories even of today’s boat slaves who die packed in?
I think video games filled with light quests of picking moss might be deluding a few people with how the medieval times actually were.
