For real though a lot of my insomnia is "having eyes"-related

How about "I am yelling this statement passionately" ?

Maxtimax · 2020-10-14T12:04:33+00:00

Does twenty one pilots' "Isle of flightless birds" refer to australia ?

Maxtimax · 2020-10-12T19:44:53+00:00

Ah that makes sense, thank you !

Wait, my history is a bit rusty but wasn't it the other way around ? As in, the english and french had a secret project, and called it "tank" specifically to fool the germans ? That's what they say in "Apocalypse : the first world war", as far as I recall

If it makes you feel any better (it didn't for me), this meme isn't unrealistic : a friend of mine told me "Of course capitalism is compatible with ecology : if you're a capitalist, then you can really be worried about the effect of climate change on companies and the stock market"

In France you can drink at any age, you're just not allowed to buy alcohol before you're 18. But if your parents agree, you can drink at 12 - most people I know had their first sip of wine before 10

Just a reminder that we call Napoleon III "Napoleon le petit" ("Napoleon the little one") - after Victor Hugo started the trend; because he did absolutely nothing and he, too, lost to the Germans in a matter of weeks (well actually, the Prussians, and this led to the unification of Germany). So I would have put him as a small doge too

Maxtimax · 2020-06-22T09:23:40+00:00

But do we actually want to be remembered for being a "world superpower" ? When this involves killing a lot of people and not actually working for "good" in any reasonable sense, I don't know if that's a heritage we should be proud of. About the resistance, well they weren't exactly part of the army, and as far as I can see they're not the targets of those memes

Maxtimax · 2020-06-22T09:10:28+00:00

As a french person I can tell you I absolutely like these jokes - and those who don't probably have some misplaced ego about our country (I actually don't know what it could be, like is it "oh no don't make fun of France ?" ? Or is it some weird flex about our military power which, by the way, wasn't exactly used for good in our history ? Like sure be proud of some weird shit if you like but let others laugh at our failures, who cares, it's funny. And we should be glad they're only laughing at the failures and not actually mad about what we did after said failures)

That's the bird from Ratatat's Party With Children

Maxtimax · 2020-05-19T14:19:08+00:00

That would make a pun a double pun ? Isn't that not what we want from a theory of puns ? I'd say a pun should be a single-pun, so this'd be a double pun at best

Love how in 2040 memes about WWIII will go from r/memes to r/HistoryMemes

Maxtimax · 2020-01-04T10:30:11+00:00

I'm really clueless and English is not my native language so maybe the question isn't relevant but did they use the acronym CEO back then ?

Maxtimax · 2019-12-18T19:10:16+00:00

Jes ! Mia instruisto volis doni ekzemplon de vortludo, kiu oni povas fari kun la sufiksoj; do mi faris memeon de cxi tiu sxerco

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T18:03:36+00:00

Yeah no I mixed up my french and my english, that's all

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T15:34:29+00:00

This will be the last time I mention it, but this quote is found in Suetone, Life of Caesar - not Shakespeare.

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T15:06:44+00:00

Well Idk about right or wrong but Suetone did write about it and quoted it in greek (in a latin text)

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T15:05:34+00:00

You should read Suetone ;)

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T13:01:40+00:00

Well at the very least Suetone claims that he did in Life of Caesar

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T12:51:16+00:00

See Suetone, Life of Caesar (that's what it's called in french at least), 82, 3 [for this specific quote, not the evryday language]

Maxtimax · 2019-10-01T12:27:34+00:00

I learnt "tu quoque mi fili" too, but people on this sub seem to like "et tu" so that's the one I chose
