All memes aside, why do people like Kennedy?
because he died
>>1321177
Because getting shot in the face by commies during the Cold War does wonders for your public image. If he'd survived he'd be just as hated as Johnson.
>>1321177
meme fail

Why did people start using trenches only in WW1, and not before that during line battles?
>>1320731
That's some American-tier understanding of history there friend.
Trenches have been used for millennia..
>>1320731
Trenches existed in the era of line battle
They just werent that effective so they were rarely used
I think the Russians dug some trenches at Borodino
>>1320742
They were effective but due to amount of work you've had to put when making them they were mostly used in sieges. Well, western front, kind-of was a never-ending siege.

Stop, ones a side arm the other is not. Hoplites, romans, and probobly samurai all had swords on them along with the spear. No one is arguing that the spear is shit.
How fucking dim are you that this is what you get angry about. Now fuck off to /k/

Poverty and a strong sense of pride in your culture and/or country.

How many genders were there throughout history?
https://youtu.be/dtCyepuLt8Q
Bump I'm looking for answers
Plato has taught me that there was originally just one gender, until Zeus split it in two because he was mad at humans.
Now Zeus is mad at us again and is splitting us in more genders.
>>1318091
No Zeus was afraid because humans were too string
Get it right nigger

Is it true that Victorian era British prudishness was a reaction to the previous era "lewdness"?
I read previous it used to be common for women to wear dresses with cleavage showing and non penetrative sex between unmarried couples was common place.
Also was the Prudish mostly a British thing or did it expand to other western countries?
Yea Regency Period was all about the king/aristocracy getting drunk, divorcing, and partying, and the fashion was flamboyant for both sexes
Victorianism was the worse thing that ever happened to British fashion. The Regency period harkens to the Greeks, so you know it was great.
>Native American stone age
manages to build large mounds, pyramids and machu pichu
>european stone age
only famous structure is a bunch of rocks forming a circle
why didn't stone age europoors build anything cool?
>>1309882
I'd venture to say because they weren't in the stone age for as long, but the real answer is that the weather and environment probably pushed their focus elsewhere. Jared-Diamondesque determinism applies to Euros too.
Probably due to their genetic inferiority.
Pyramids and Macchu Picchu weren't built in the stone age

Let me guess, New Testament fanfiction?
>>1323272
About the same time that I read about Prometheus in greek mythology and noticed very similar parallels between the two mythological figures.
So, like 15 or 16.

Satan is a sexual narcissist who's power is manipulating humanity into thinking he's their righteous liberator rebelling against the unjust authority of God, but as you come to know Satan on a deeper level, you will see that he is ultimately just a spoiled, petulant child throwing a temper tantrum and trying to drag all of humanity into his misery.
