you can just ignore him though i don’t care what happens to him

need to pop out for a sec can you keep an eye on him for me thanks

@MaxPi314 @HiddenYorkshire no shade on america’s cities and cultural cuisines but as someone who moved from middle america to germany as a kid the difference in what the average person (me) ate was quite large

@WeirdMedieval @HiddenYorkshire I live in a city where the food is almost universally tremendous, surely other parts of America have shit food though. I think a lot of Europeans don't really grasp how large the US actually is, to be honest.

The American obsession with how other countries do Mexican food is fascinating, because not once on my holiday have I thought "I'm going to order a Full English from a foreign country and then laugh at it"

@espurrs_eyes @HiddenYorkshire bear in mind my diet is mostly cheese

@WeirdMedieval @HiddenYorkshire

@somerandom_non @HiddenYorkshire my diet is mostly meat, cheese, bread, butter, jam, and beer so i might be a bit biased

@WeirdMedieval @HiddenYorkshire What are you talking about

@HerJenness @HiddenYorkshire that’s right #misanthropist

@WeirdMedieval @HiddenYorkshire Weird statement, considering we are a nation of ALL nations. So, you just insulted the entire world population.

@porc_u bc it says ‘smoking can make you impotent’ so his dick doesn’t work 😢

@WeirdMedieval Why's he naked tho?

thinking about the medieval cat door in Exeter cathedral again

People have varying opinions on the palindromic text comprising the cross. The above interprets as 'Oro te ramus aram, ara sumar et oro': 'I pray to you, branch and altar, that I may be taken to the altar, and I pray' But I have seen other academic works treat it differently

A 9th century poem by Rabanum Maurus. The grid is a complete poem, while the cross and body of the praying Rabanum contain stand-alone phrases. The green text on Rabanum's body reads (in Latin): 'Christ, o pious and merciful in your judgment, keep me, Rabanus, I pray, safe'.

literally why doesn’t every European drive a Fiat 500 it’s literally god’s own car

stop saying Land Rovers are safe and I’m an environmentalist or whatever! i would throw 1 million pedestrians and the entire Amazon Rainforest under the wheels of a Fiat 500 to get these eyesores off the road

Ignoring the safety aspect these are the most hideous cars in existence and if you drive one you are an incarnation of blight and rot

@theCATaccountt i literally said ignore safety i would throw 1 million pedestrians under the wheels of a fiat 500 to get these eyesores off the road

@WeirdMedieval I've never seen an suv hit pedestrians It's always the smaller cars With suv, you have more visibility because you're sitting up high Only jealous people don't like suvs because they cannot afford to run them

@Kalivo5Tom yeah thats a sexy automobile

@WeirdMedieval Classic Defenders are way cooler. Thankfully there’s Ineos now to scratch that itch .

obvs at the end of the dialogue Scipio, Hannibal, and Alexander are deemed by the debate’s judge King Minos to be inferior to Arminius

In the 1500s, when Germans were reckoning with their place in a culture that favoured ancient Greece & Rome, a German scholar wrote an alt ending to Lucian’s 12th dialogue where Germanic chieftain Arminius rocks up and germansplains to Alexander the Great why he’s cool, too

@extremeXmetal saw one irl in for the first time in december and actually wanted to vomit

@WeirdMedieval This takes the cake! 🤢🤮
