@ZacMabry A Madiran and a Lambrusco

There are no two wines within the same type as different in mouth feel and flavor as Coke Zero is from Diet Coke. It’s why Coke Zero’s huge growth comes at the expense of regular Coke (and even zero calorie Pepsi drinks) and not Diet Coke.

@TitusCEO @Fenrirtheicewo1 That’s not true, Portuguese were all over the coasts of Africa and even penetrating the interior in Angola and Mozambique by the 17th century

@Fenrirtheicewo1 ‘’Heck, did you know it was actually rare for Europeans to set foot in African soil over the fact that they could barely survive walking in the terrain’’ Africa was known as White Man’s grave. Europeans refused to walk inland or even step off boats into port cities.

Funny enough if you look at history most of the time they did pay for them with guns and liquor so that they could go fight the other tribes and then sell them as slaves in both the European and Islam slave trade. Honestly, African history with outside forces is insanely complex, not just... what Hollywood traditionally shows. Heck, did you know it was actually rare for Europeans to set foot in African soil over the fact that they could barely survive walking in the terrain so they just hired tribes around the oceans to guide some in or just do the whole things for them.

@ScipioAfr1canus @bondagehookah Lmao bro the average Arab has no clue and does not care about history, go mention the Fatimids to a Tunisian and good luck getting a response other than wtf are you talking about

@bondagehookah The average modern European has no connection to his history, and probably doesn't even know who Charlemagne is. I don't like a lot about Islamic culture, but they appreciate that they are part of a culture that existed before and will exist after them. That's laudable.

I’ve seen Arabs flex about the Ummayads hundreds of times on this website, but I’ve never heard a white person flex about Charlemagne. The reason is that white people have been doing shit in the intervening 1300 years, and Arabs really haven’t.

@18503qwsf3n @flangelianity No they don’t, literally never ran into this speaking French in France for months at a time as an american. They immediately clock that someone is foreign and speaking with an accent but almost always they’re more delighted than anything to see a foreigner speak it well

@flangelianity no one will judge you more for an imperfect accent in a foreign language than french people, i wish we werent like this...

We do the same in France but the explanation is that doing the accent is for try hards

@Robintschek_CIA I mean tons of restaurants offer aioli as a sauce I just think a decent subset of Americans don’t know that aioli is just flavored mayo

I still don't understand why Americans think eating fries with mayo is disgusting. It's like extremely common anywhere else in the world lol, is American mayo just really bad?

@hotscenekid4eva Honestly this is the bigger issue I see with our gen in terms of food, people cornering themselves into eating bagel bites for the rest of their lives rather than just trying something, it’s just sad idk, you don’t have to like something but just try it

do u think nixon had arfid do u think if nixon was around today he would only eat dino nuggies

@cleba76 You’re right and it’s irrelevant but I will never ever get over the fact that there was a major peace accord signed in fucking Dayton Ohio

And right when the Bosniaks had the fucking barbarians who did this on the ropes, we turned around and sold them out at Dayton. Fuck Bill Clinton.

@ConnorFolf @chxnluh That order costs more than $20 I’d wager

@chxnluh did this mf seriously AI generate an image of taco bell instead of just getting some for like 20 bucks

@praiseall1 @nikicaga No he’s right non immigrant names are out of control for white and black Americans, believe me it’s just as bad with tons of white parents these days

@nikicaga *wokely* black people have crazy names

Please god, government-mandated lists of legal names like in Sweden

@bigseb31213 I could be drunk and do better than those sample answers, but I can’t say shit I only got a 3 on the 2015 AP world exam

Am I remembering things with rose tinted glasses or was the AP test much harder in 2010

@posta_octavian This is retarded

Unpopular opinion but Islamic Civilisation is the only true rival the West has ever had and will ever have. They, alongside us, are the only ones who genuinely seek to understand the objective truth underlying the world. It's just that Muslims think they have found it in the form of Islam; it is the most perfect, eternal revelation. The sunnah is infallible. The Qur'an is infallible. Why would you ever apostate from objective truth? If you do, it's no different from cutting yourself off from the source of life. You deserve death. No tolerance of other religions and ideas; they have to live a life of complete humiliation and subservience to Muslims. Not accepting the truth means you cannot live a normal life. It is utterly totalitarian. We may consider it utterly barbaric but the success speaks for itself. Largest religion in the world. Keeps growing everywhere. Gets converts from Christianity, especially women who are comforted by the clear rules and confidence in its eternal truth. Islam represents a challenge for us in the West : We have found the perfect truth and the perfect society. We're done. Now we will defend it to the death, kill our enemies and enforce our faith. Deal with it. We in the West are the only ones who likewise believe in Absolute Truth and Objective Morality. Our liberals believe gay marriage should be legal everywhere. Our Catholics believe in natural law that applies to the human race as a whole. Our communists believe in an objective trajectory of society with objective moral values that go alongside with it. Us Europeans are universalists. We aren't satisfied with just having a way of life. We want to justify it, explain why it's correct not only for us but also for you. But our religion was ambiguous. Jesus was just some guy. The gospels are contradictory. The bible was written by multiple authors. The protestant reformation. The enlightenment. We're uncertain. We struggle. We are Faustian. We are never satisfied. We criticise ourselves, change our minds, change our whole societies, change everything that we believe in. Continuously striving to finally get it right. We are the civilisation that did the holocaust and abolished slavery. The rivalry between us and them is if our endless drive towards the truth can eventually create a society that is more sustainable and powerful than anything Islamic society can produce, one that can overcome the violence and totalitarianism inherent within Islam through our faith in freedom and open discourse. I'm my opinion, in the 21st century, Islam clearly got an advantage. Conservative social policies created massive birth rates and now they massively outnumber us. Our self criticism was so intense that we are now letting people like this guy who would kill us and enslave if he could in our very own countries. They're brutally taking advantage of our liberalism and openness to systematically weaken us and take over our societies. Weak! It remains to be seen if Western civilisation can, once again, learn, innovate, change and transform itself to defeat the challenge posed by Islam once again. The rivalry must continue.

@yfcherries @rowanfornow I’ve 100% seen the galaxy multiple times in very rural Kentucky

@rowanfornow i have never been able to wrap my head around the idea that there is no real “middle of nowhere” east of the mississippi it makes me kinda sad to know how many people there have never looked up at the night sky and seen galaxies

as a life long Red Dot right in the middle of The Green Zone, the degree of human impact on the eastern United States is unfathomable and honestly disturbing to me

@CostaKapo 2026 and we have gooning rationing smh

“We’re facing the largest supply shortage of lubricating fluids in the modern history of America. Realistic, middle-of-the-road estimates are for our average available supply in this product category to drop by 40%.” Internal AutoZone Memo

@I_Miss_Korolev @stendhalist Yes, but they also had bigger fish to fry, like all of Europe breathing down their neck

@stendhalist Racial equality was second priority for most of the French Revolutionaries

@BillTheKid1603 Idk about a fear perse but with the onset of sedentary living people definitely developed an aversion towards bugs like cockroaches that infest food stores

I refuse to believe even 100 years ago women were sacred of insects, being this inept is a luxury of the modern world

@Mcn_xd Plus they did absorb them for a bit, and it was in a pretty peaceful way all things said, Sebastian was just stupid and killed anyone who could’ve put up a real fight in Morocco

Criticizing a great Imperial Power for not swallowing their smaller, ethnically similar neighbor as a Ukraine shill is INSANE.

@mike_slugs You’d hate reading about the Napoleonic wars then lol

@NoahCarl90 Unless you’re Dominican

Interestingly, Islam seems to be the strongest predictor of willingness to fight for your country (or at least to say you would).

@totally_not_ace @_Wilsonpilled_ Like very fucking famously they weren’t 😂

@_Wilsonpilled_ The Bolsheviks were not lead by peasants what is this person talking about.

The peasants would vote for a trillion years of Bonapartism

@mbateman Literally just ate at one yesterday granted deep in the country, but I was the only foreigner

Was in Paris a couple months ago for wife’s 40th. We splurged and did a handful of Michelin stars and similar and kept noticing that it was mainly Americans, along with a smattering of other foreigners, eating at them.
