Where does this meme come from? Most people I know as well as myself only have a normal plate of food at morning and another one at evening.
It's probably New Worlders that pull shit like this.

Was Dark Ages really that backward or just a meme to degrade Christianity?
32 posts and 6 images submitted.
>>
It was no more backward than barbarian Europe.
>>
>>2888612
they where a big step backwards culturally and and the focus on this judaeo-roman end time cult prevented western society from advancing for centuries.
Good thing this is over now.
>also sage, we have way to many christcuk threads on this board
>>
>>2888612
The concept of dark ages was born as a period of little artistic value. Initially it meant just for latin literature, then expanded to fine arts in general.
From this point of view, yeah the dark ages were real.

That said, the whole period was blown way out of proportion by the cancer that is enlightenment and 19th century "historiography", so yes, you can also say that it was pretty much a meme to degrade christianity (or the church more like).

Shit like doxxing happens though, I kind of like anonymous discussion for the no nonsense it can bring but some people can't seem to not take the jabs here to heart and become serious and invested into the site. I feel that over time the amount of people who take it too seriously has grown.

>are people online anonymously naturally cordial to each other?

What would posses you to ask such a breathtakingly stupid question?

>Does it depend on the site's culture?

Not really, sites with severe moderation breed passive aggressive dipshits, sites with weak moderation breed openly hostile cunts.

>Are hot discussions on /his/ filled with actual vitriol or are they just playful back and forths?

Both. People vent their frustrations via anonymous insults and hate, but people also indulge their playfulness baiting spergers and shitfuckers.

Yesterday I passed a mother with her toddler on the street, she was singing a popular children's song for her kid. It is called "Stiefeli muess stärbe" and pretty much every Kindergarten kid here (Switzerland) will know it.

Turns out that song is referring to Michael Stifel and his failed end of the world prophecy from 1533.
I was pretty much baffled that a folk song can make 500 years and remain popular in in its form.
So I investigated, turns out some of the other popular children songs here are very old, "Oh du lieber Augustin" refers to Marx Augustin 1643-1685 and "Maikäfer flieg" is a song about the 30 years war.

Now I know all those songs by heart, my mum sung them to me when I was little and they are still known by everyone around here.
So, how long do songs last? Are there any popular old folk or children songs in your Country/Language that did survive the times.

for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXQoZ7rdEck
the guitar parts are the Stifeli song in question

Why do children's songs last this long in living memory? They by far outlive the memory of the events or persons they sing about.

He had lost his power after the embarrassing Chinese famine in which tens of millions of people died. He wanted to get it back. So he wrestled his authority back by fucking over his own government and destroying China for two decades.

>how much history was lost to it?

Incalculable. There's a reason nobody considers China a historical site to visit for tourism reasons in the same way as places like Egypt or Greece.

Because the Chinese always made the majority of their buildings out of wood, even the important ones.

I am a fan of metal, and a huge history buff. Because of this, I was naturally drawn to a band like sabaton, which combines the two perfectly. Because of my passion of this band, I wanted to ask other history fans about their opinions of the band, or, if you haven't heard of sabaton, introduce you.

I feel like we need to make more easily-posted image collages with sources on them for common questions. Like that one about how genetics tests show that modern Italians and ancient Italians are pretty much identical. Or that one full of quotes from Russian/Soviet leaders about the impact of Lend-Lease.

What role did Britain have to play in WWII?
I ask because some like to claim that Britain did most of the heavy lifting against Germany and Japan while the US played a minor role and could have defeated both powers without US help. Is there any shred of truth to this of is it complete bullshit like I think it is?

The UK could've survived WW2 but all of Europe would've fallen to the soviets.

They played a big role in North Africa, and a big role in Italy and the Western front, as well as fighting and defeating the Japanese in Burma.
>>
>>2886448
This basically

Germany was gonna lose WW2 even if the US didn't jump in. The US's real contribution was stopping the Soviets. Also singlehandedly winning the Pacific theater.

>>2886430
Americas main contribution in ww2 was the same a 1, selling goods to England which led to massive debt for England
Whilst the British empire kept the war s constant one

>That giant non-moving slump of the 'Dark Ages'
>Not recognising achievements within that time or achievements outside of the European sphere.

Jesus, this is some Family guy fan level of autism right now. Even though there wasn't much majorly accepted advancement in the scientific fields during the 'Dark Ages' there was still plenty of development to the point of achieving that which the Romans did and developing their own methodology, the invention of the windmill for example, comparatively minor but had a massive effect on agricultural development.
