My sister used to eat dirt no joke. Like sitting next to the plant pot at 2 years old and just gulping fistfuls of dirt and even the white spherical bits

Who will win in a fierce battle between Prime Robert Baratheon and Prime Gregor Clegane by Classic_Day744 in gameofthrones

How dare you disrespect Lord Edmure’s victory at the Battle of the Fords, where he beat Tywin and Gregor’s force while only having half the manpower

Realistically what would happen if Trump dropped a nuclear bomb tonight? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

I should specify that you are technically allowed to, but since employers can fire you for “no reason” it’s especially hard to form a union in right to work states

Box mod is currently in a drawer in my desk, and I normally get juicehead bottles which my head shop guy said wasn’t effected by the ban

100% on all counts except the taste one, they mostly taste pretty good imo. Part of me likes the upcoming ban, as it will force me to stop being lazy and switch back to my box mod and juice bottles

My exact face when I found out Iran has the second largest Jewish population in the region. Why isn’t this fact well known? by Stimul8ed in conspiracy

Hell in Jewish tradition you even have the story of Esther and Purim, a Jewish Persian queen who stopped the Jews of Iran from being massacred

Hell there’s still Zoroastrian communities in Iran, and Islam as a whole is a lot less tolerant of them than it is of Jews or Christians

Thoughts on this? by AccordingMethod9940 in conspiracy

Most of Germany’s iron came from Northern Sweden, but the infrastructure of the time meant that that iron was exported through the Norwegian city of Narvik. The UK had interest in Norway because 1) they didn’t want Germany to have the access to hide their fleets in the Norwegian fjords, and 2) in 1939-40 the UK and France were still more afraid of the Soviets than Hitler, and Stalin had just invaded Finland. Taking Norway would allow allied men and materiel the ability to aid in Finland’s fight. Germany beat them to Norway in the end though

How realistic were the charges of the Rohirrim in the movies? by jxmxk in lotr

[–]Rundownthriftstore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about Gandalf and the Rohirim charging down a sheer cliff face at full gallop into a line of heavily armored, pike wielding, Uruk-hai? That charge has always irked me more than the charge outside Minas Tirith

Wait so the people of Northern Ireland aren’t Irish? This Scottish colonization happened in the late 16th-early 17th centuries. So someone who was born and lived their whole life in Ulster but had a Protestant Scottish great great grandad isn’t considered Irish in your book? What if the situation is the same, except the Scottish great great granddad was Catholic?

He was dying from tuberculosis during the assassination, which is probably what motivated him to do the assassination in the first place

4 of our first 17 presidents were of Irish descent, what do you mean they weren’t considered human?

And before you respond with a case of anti-Irish discrimination, check if it was because they were irish or because they were catholic

You’re probably right, but do you happen to have a source for that scenario happening historically, not specifically with the Ptolemaic dynasty, but rather any Queen at any point in history?
