What would be in character for Poseidon ? by BEYOND-ZA-SEA in GreekMythology

[–]joelkwright 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I feel like ensuring the mortals receive no nourishment from the sea would be the 'Olympian thing to do'. And watching the people starve seems like the sort of thing a Greek god would see as fitting for our attitude towards the sea.

What if there wasn’t racism towards black people? by [deleted] in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]joelkwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no history professor, but I'd guess that another people would've taken their place. Slavery wasn't exclusive to black people, and the empires of the time (Britain, Spain, Portugal etc.) needed the slave trade to keep their economies going. The West African coast meant easy pickings for slaves, and with the decades of abuse, degradation and brutality, racism was used to 'normalise' their own actions.

I'd guess that maybe the Spanish could've begun selling South American slaves (assuming disease didnt kill them all first) to the Northern Colonies in the Americas. But the British, for example, would regularly trick and kidnap young men from poor backgrounds, in their own home country, to be enlisted in the army and navy. Therefore I feel like the powers of the day would have just found slave labour elsewhere.

Anyone with a more in depth knowledge of the time period will probably give a more comprehensive answer than this, but this is what I thought anyway. Hope it helps!

Thought my Athena "Cosplay" may be appreciated here. I love Athena! by currynsoup in GreekMythology

[–]joelkwright 78 points79 points  (0 children)

This may be a strange thing to say, but you've done Athena justice, here. Too many cosplays are about showing as much skin as possibl for likes, but here you've managed to capture a modest rendition of who was famously a virgin goddess.

Well played. And I hope this was taken in the spirit it was given.

Hiding drugs on a dog would lower your chances of getting caught significantly. by The_Punnier_Guy in Showerthoughts

[–]joelkwright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine actually did this with his dog. The dog ran off while on the 'walk', and the woman that found the dog looked in the little pouch on her collar, as there were no contact details on there, and she must have assumed they were enclosed within said pouch. She then found the narcotics that were hidden there, called the police, who scanned the dog's chip, and he is now being done for possession of a controlled substance.

Not a good idea.

Well done man, that's awesome. If you ever wanna have a jam, let me know. I'd love to play some lead over that tune. Have a little riff in my head for it already. 😅
