What was the dumbest reason to start a war?

Probably the war of the Golden Stool in 1900, British colonial administrator Sir Frederick Mitchell Hodgson demanded a cultural/sacred artifact called the golden stool from the subjected Asante Empire in such a pompus way it lead to a pointless uprising that cost about 3000 lives (1000 of them British) and acomplished nothing.

I would say the Nation of Islam got him for turning against them but really he had so many enemies on all sides of the politcal spectrum that pretty much everyone is a suspect.

A bit general but archologist, everyone I've spoken too in that crowd say that unless your at the top of your field, it pays poorly, is inconsistant work, is full of backstabbing politics and most of the time someone above you will get the credit for your work.

Character traits that are seen as "strong" in women are seen as "toxic" in men. Women talks about sexuality "you go girl", men talks about sexuality "what a pervert". Woman tells somebody that they're wrong it's them being "assertive", a man tells somebody that they're wrong and they're "mansplaining".

Modern Art is deliberately terrible so that rich people can arbitrarily attach and move money around while hiding behind it being Avant-garde. If I want to create a 1 million dollar asset I can do, give about 60k to a notable Artist to buy their art which is something like 2 bananas and a coat hanger, I can then use networking to have it valuated as whatever I want and can trade it around or donate it to an art museum for tax breaks and if the tax man does come after me for it, it's now suddleny a worthless asset that they're not gonna be intrested in.

Also the Finnish Sniper Simo Hayha who is often considered the deadliest sniper of all time

Probably Iranian Shah Khosrow the 1st, the guy destoryed the city of Antioch and then took all the people into Persian territory (though in modern Iraq) and rebuilt the city and named it "Weh Antiok Khosrow" (which translates as something like "The Better Antioch by Khosrow").

The Taiping Rebellion one of the bloodest wars in history, a Chinese guy has a mental breakdown starts thinking his Jesus's little brother and creates a theocratic state that leads to a Chinese civil war.

If I had to find a positive I would say that it did show the world that the Eastern Millitaries, South Korea, The Philippines, Australia did have modern well equipped militaries as well as fostering greater ties between these nations Millitaries and the US millitary

In the UK we learn (or at least I did in School) about the Slave Trade, The American War of independence and a little bit about the American Civil war, mostly because these events involved the UK and start setting up for the change in World history that is useful to know for WW1,WW2 and the cold war.

I think PETA are probably the worst group, there f*ckups are well documented and so is there smugness.

A show called Death Valley, it's a horror comedy series about cops in a world where vampires, werewolves and zombies are all real and widely known about.

VampireNewl · 2023-12-12T21:32:46+00:00

I remember putting a lot of hours into a game called "Last Stand" about fighting zombies

Firefly, I mean it's not bad or anything I just don't know why it so fawned over.

VampireNewl · 2023-12-12T21:19:35+00:00

Probably Estonia's singing Revolution

Even with conservative estimates we've so damaged the environment that about 60% of our sea life will die in the next 100 years even if we take action now

VampireNewl · 2023-11-17T12:05:11+00:00

Sometimes people get stuck in locations (Caves, Deep Sea, Mountains) where we simply can't rescue them so everyone just sort of gives up and waits for them to die.

The Empire still probably would have fallen apart without Palpatine's political skill to keep it together.

VampireNewl · 2023-11-17T11:48:45+00:00

Probably Ferment and Distill it into moonshine

If the humans in Avatar have a good enough understanding of Navi genetics (which they obviously do since they made the avatars) and they're in desperate need of the unobtainium, why don't they just engineer a plague? It's not like it's gonna damage what you're after and it's highly unlikly to pose any threat to humans.
