@johnrockshomes MAGA are so fucking gullible. To believe that January 6thers were innocent people going on a stroll through the Capitol is the height of brainwashing.

I am a J6er. I am a Hero. I was a peaceful protester. Democrats weaponized. Socialists imprisoned me. I will be made whole. God Bless the J6ers.

@AlanHutchi69845 @histories_arch No educated person actually thinks that.

@histories_arch So in pre conquest mesoamerica slaves could be purchased for a 100 cacao beans ? So Western White Europeans didn’t introduce slavery to the indigenous population after all.

The Aztec Empire developed one of history's most unusual monetary systems between the 14th and 16th centuries. Cacao beans—the raw ingredient for chocolate—functioned as standardized currency throughout Mesoamerica. These beans possessed the essential qualities of effective money: portability, divisibility, durability, and universal recognition across the empire's vast trade networks. Cacao's value stemmed from practical scarcity. The trees grew only in specific tropical lowland regions, making beans rare enough to resist inflation while remaining abundant enough for circulation. The Aztecs couldn't cultivate cacao in their highland capital of Tenochtitlan, forcing them to obtain beans through tribute from conquered territories or long-distance trade. A single bean could purchase a tamale; 100 beans bought a slave; 8,000 beans represented significant wealth. The system created immediate problems with counterfeiting. Enterprising traders hollowed out beans and filled empty shells with dirt or avocado pits to increase their supply of currency. Merchants developed expertise in detecting fraudulent beans through weight, sound, and visual inspection. Unlike metal coinage, cacao eventually rotted, preventing long-term hoarding and encouraging active trade rather than wealth accumulation. Spanish conquistadors recorded detailed accounts of the cacao economy when they encountered it in the 1520s. Hernán Cortés initially dismissed the practice as primitive, failing to recognize the sophisticated economic thinking behind it. The Spanish eventually recognized cacao's utility and temporarily integrated it into colonial currency systems before gradually replacing it with European metal coins. By the mid-16th century, cacao's role as money had largely disappeared. The Aztec cacao system demonstrated that currency requires social agreement, not inherent value. Metal has no more natural claim to monetary status than beans—both work because communities trust them. The practice reveals economic sophistication often denied to pre-Columbian civilizations and shows how environmental constraints shape financial innovation. The Aztec cacao currency system established precedents that influenced economic thinking far beyond its collapse. It demonstrated that commodity money could function without centralized minting or precious metals, influencing later debates about what constitutes legitimate currency. The system's vulnerability to counterfeiting and decay prefigured similar problems in paper money systems centuries later. Spanish documentation of cacao currency provided European economists with concrete examples of alternative monetary systems, broadening theoretical frameworks about money's nature. The practice preserved cacao cultivation networks that outlasted the empire itself, as demand for chocolate as a luxury good eventually created global trade routes. Most significantly, the system's disappearance illustrated how conquest disrupts not just political structures but fundamental economic relationships, forcing populations to abandon working systems for imposed foreign alternatives. The cacao economy remains a powerful counter-example to claims that only gold or silver can serve as "real" money. #archaeohistories

@DrJesseMorse Idiot

How do you treat the Hantavirus? Ivermectin + Vitamin D + Zinc Have your vitamin D level checked (blood). If your levels are under 40 (on a scale of 0-100), then start taking vitamin D3 15,000 IU a day for two months and then recheck. Your goal should be a level of 60-80. Note you can have too much vitamin D in your body so that’s why you have to recheck.

@JenBrooklyn51 @ginamilan_ Trump did cheat on every wife. He can't sue her for the truth. Numbnuts.

@ginamilan_ I hope he sues her ass for defamation… make her apologize.

Jessica Tarlov just now: “He’s (Trump) cheated on every wife he’s had.” What a vile, disgusting piece of shit…

@DisrespectedThe God you are dumb.

Hantavirus pulmonary listed as a side affect from the Pfizer Covid vaccine? What? Is this why they wanted to hide this info until 2085?

@docmartin22 @DawnsMission Facts don't matter to these idiots

@DawnsMission You are wrong as usual, and Japan has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.

Something every parent should know! Japan ceased all mandatory vaccines for children under 24 months old In 1994, what happened next? Japan now has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. The US? One of the highest. Coincidence?

@DawnsMission You are a moron.

@vancemurphy Ignorance is curable.

The part of the Artemis mission that really feels off to me… why are all three of the men freshly shaved as they get out of the capsule? Sitting in a tiny box sweat box for 10 days, un-showered, I know I wouldn’t look like that.

@CatherineInSea @dailydirtnap Red states are dumb. Red states are poor. Red states live off welfare.

@dailydirtnap ❤️ this! I'm actually planning my exit from a terrible blue state to an awesome red state! Great post, Jared!

Let me tell you what it is like living in a red state. - I pay 3% state income taxes, versus 13.3% in California and potentially 16.8% in NYC - Property taxes lowest in the country. A typical 2,000 square foot middle class home will pay about $750 a year. - No mass transit that breaks down all the time - Massive economic development; everyone wants to move here - People are civil to each other on roads because everyone has guns in their cars - You generally don't hear swearing in public (or even private) places - No spitting, littering, and certainly no crapping on the sidewalk - The homeless drug addicts live in the woods and don't panhandle you - There's a bad section of town, but if you don't go in it, you have practically zero chance of being victim of a crime. And the bad section isn't that bad. - You're more likely to hear a racial slur in New York than you are here - Politicians are fighting over how fast to lower taxes - Education is better while spending half as much per student - Still a healthy discourse--in spite of all the Trump stickers on cars, there are No Kings rallies here, too, though people mostly ignore them - Real estate values going up, not down - Developments with thousands of houses going in all over the place - 235 days of sunlight a year. 110 in NYC. The downside? Almost impossible to get an abortion, but you can just go to another state if you're motivated enough. Blue states are so screwed.

@AstralPreobraz1 @Pechangu @dailydirtnap Stop bringing facts into the discussion.

@Pechangu @dailydirtnap A little bit, but it’s still lower in SC.

@dailydirtnap You can't even get basic facts right. South Carolina's education system frequently ranks in the bottom ten nationally, with recent 2025/2026 data placing it around 41st to 43rd in the U.S.

@Milajoy You are an idiot

I believe COVID was released ON PURPOSE to stop Trump. What do you believe?

@mitchellvii Fucking liar.

Honestly, when I saw this picture of Trump I didn't think of Jesus at all. He looks more like an apostle is healing sick people. I'm a very strong born-again Christian. I wasn't even remotely offended. 99% of the people who were offended by this hated Trump anyway.

@JustinUSA @GarlicCorgi You mean like Matt Gaetz? Didn't Trump want that trafficker to be head of the DOJ?

@GarlicCorgi He has always been an unserious candidate trying to divide the GOP and make us look bad.

James Fishback tells a Black voter that he should be “lynched” after the man asked him about his history of dating minors.

@Jenny_1884 Only if you are a fucking moron.

Why has it taken 50yrs to just go around the moon? Is anyone else starting to question whether the moon landing really happened?

@JonStewartIL Stop proving to everyone, how dumb you are.

To believe as a sane adult that this vehicle was mounted to the side of the LM, taken down from 8 feet off the ground, assembled and driven on the moon is the peak of lunacy! You DO know that Mr. Rogers neighborhood wasn't an actual town, right?

@sweatystartup @grok why do idiots believe the government is poisoning us with chemtrails?

Go back and watch the moon landing videos. Laughable. Guys riding around on a side by side getting a wheel off the ground on the moon. Anybody in their right mind can see it’s a joke.

@sweatystartup Were you born an idiot, or did it take a lot of work?

@SCMountainGoat Why ask why? You can't understand the basic answer, so it doesn't matter.

If it’s just Contrails, why doesn’t it dissipate? Why do they spread out and create a thin haze that lingers all day?

@chaincartel You fucking moron

🚨 CHEMTRAIL PLANE CAUGHT RED HANDED: SPRAYERS SHUT OFF THE SECOND THE PAYLOAD IS DELIVERED Observe closely as the chemtrail plane switches off the sprayers once it completes delivering its payload. Look at that. One second it is laying down thick, persistent white lines across our sky, poisoning the air, the soil, our lungs, and controlling the weather like gods playing with humanity. The next? Click. Sprayers off. The trail vanishes like it never happened. Mission accomplished. They do not even try to hide it anymore. These are not "contrails" from innocent passenger jets. Those disappear in seconds. This is deliberate aerosol deployment, aluminum, barium, who knows what else, part of the global elite's geoengineering nightmare to block the sun, manipulate storms, and keep us sick and dependent. Why do some planes spray while others do not? Why does it stop exactly when the tank runs dry? Because it is NOT exhaust. It is a payload. And the pilots? Complicit or clueless cogs in the machine. They are terraforming our atmosphere right above our heads while we scroll and comply. How many more "coincidences" do you need?
