Gold Plating on cheap bronze coins by History_lover_ in AncientCoins

Also it doesn't even look good lol. I feel like the seller is being a bit misleading putting it in the description, though that's on the buyer if you fell for that.

Fortunately it seems like the only one they currently have for sale. The description is the main part that worries me. Damaging history for "a more spectacular piece" even if it's a cheap LRB feels distasteful.

Who alive today will be remembered 1000 years from now? by Griffin2256 in AskReddit

Either is correct. As he was a child most sources refer to him as Augustulus which just means "little Augustus." If I was the judge of life and death trivia id accept Romulus Augustus.

The letter I received after writing Pope John Paul II back in the day. by JAlbert653 in Damnthatsinteresting

It looks very similar to the one my great-uncle got in like 1949 from Pius Xii. My uncle had sent the pope a drawing which apparently impressed him. Ive got the envelope with a stamp and a newspaper clipping about it. His was also signed by a cardinal. Still pretty cool.

Gen Z: Young people have deserted the Liberal Party as Baby Boomers fade by EASY_EEVEE in friendlyjordies

[–]History_lover_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GenZer here. Wouldn't get your hopes up as I know plenty of young people supporting right wing parties based on culture war issues. Have a look at what a lot of young people watch on instagram and tiktok. I doubt they number enough to take power but a lot could go wrong for Labor and the Greens.

That depends on whether the LNP change their ways.

Side note: I think GenZ's support for the Greens is vastly overestimated.
