On the topic of forgetting about a war: In WW2, Poland declared war on Japan so that allies could use a Polish destroyer in the Pacific, but Japanese refused to acknowledge that declaration and everybody forgot they were at war when it came time for Japanese capitulation. Documents proving it were found and war officialy ended in 1956

19:10 the first photo explains that the ruby is for protection against illness and evil and in the next photo they show the queen wearing 3 of them when being close to Donald trump, the meme uses the popular theory that Queen Elizabeth uses her outfits to secretly or indirectly express her opinions on subjects because she is more or less force to stay neutral when it come to politics, and the joke is that it’s usually one ruby that is weared(judging by what the first image shows) but for Donald trump the queen decided to wear 3 of them.

Re: black plague 8:50 Poland's secret was hygiene. They washed often.

This is a myth, the Pope sent out a Bull defending jews for the reason that they were dying at the same rates as others.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

This is not true, a Pope wrote Bull based on the fact jews would die as much as Christians.

[@MyNameIsZelo]

Iirc from a history fact I read, since the Jews washed often, they did not catch the Black Plague nearly as much, and this in combination of antisemitism caused many to believe the black plague was a cursed incited by them.

I cannot find it on my shelf right now and my google-fu is weak tonight, but there is an account of a Japanese delegation in the 1800s written as a report to the government of Japan, where they toured across Asia, then Europe, then a boat to the US, across the US then back to Japan. Along the way they were tasked with evaluating everything about western culture, industry, etc. They looked at railroads, hospitals, prisons, they noted the manner of the people, the layout of the cities, everything. And since this was meant to be a government report, the author gives his very frank opinion of everything he encounters. Edit: found it; "Japan Rises, The Iwakura Embassy"

4:15 I believe the reason we dropped the unnecessary letters in words here in America is because it costed money for each letter per word on a printing press or something so we got rid of those letters to save money

[@RexRagerunner]

The reason to this specific case of dropping "u" from those words is because with the American English, Americans tried to make English more phonetic and threw out some letters so the words revert back to the forms before English adopted them. If I'm not wrong, "Glamour" is the only exception to this as the word was invented in Scotland which makes the word and English word so they left the "u" in.

0:52 - Fun fact: the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, was used as a troop ship in WWI. It currently stands as the only passenger liner of any kind to have sunk an enemy submarine. Anyway, the Olympic-class Ocean Liner was actually a theoretically unsinkable ship, with a highly compartmentalized hull structure, watertight bulkheads and double-layered (originally intended to be triple-layered) hull. The Titanic disaster was a mix of multiple factors, including build quality issues and multiple hull breaches caused by the ship scraping the side of the iceberg. After the incident, the Olympic was retrofitted to address these issues, and the Britanic was built with design updates specifically in mind. The Britanic, unfortunately, hit a sea mine and sank while acting as a hospital ship. The Olympic, on the other hand, hit a German U-Boat and _sank the U-Boat._ The Olympic went on to have a full, if somewhat short, career doing transatlantic runs until 1935, when it was decommissioned and scrapped due to operational losses caused by the Great Depression and the ship's incredibly high maintenance costs. If "My Heart Will Go On" is the theme song of Titanic, the Dragonforce Cover of "My Heart Will Go On" is the theme song of the Olympic.

[@giantWario]

The whole ''people are more attractive now'' trend in so many of those is so wrong. And I don't just mean because beauty is subjective anyway. But because yes, people did clean themselves. And not just twice a year. The soap was invented in 3000 BC. Peasants in Ancient Time and the Middle Ages all had access to bathhouses which they used extensively, in fact it was often considered the most important building in town and the first one to be built when making a new settlement. And they did also use cesspits exactly to avoid having to drink ''poopy water''. The Romans even had sewers! People just think people before the 1900s were all filthy because, well, people in the 1800s were filthy because of the Industrial Revolution. The massive overcrowding in the cities during the Industrial Revolution caused sanitation to go way down until only nobles in the cities could afford to clean themselves and city-dwellers had no real choice but to just throw their trash and their feces out of windows or into rivers. But just because it was true in the 1800s doesn't mean it was true for all of history.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

There were like no Nobles then and laws were brought in to deal with sanitation.

[@giantWario]

@@johnnotrealname8168 Buddy there are still nobles now, most of which are still just as rich as they were in medieval times. Except for France with their revolution, they were never killed or deposed. Sure, except for Kings and Queens, we don't really use their titles anymore but that doesn't mean they lost their power or land.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

@@giantWario There are people with titles yes but they are not Nobles in the classical sense also no they are not just as rich and often their lands were taken by the government such as in Ireland. The Nobles today are not landed interests especially since today land is not as important as it once was.

[@giantWario]

@@johnnotrealname8168 Yeah British nobles lands were taken by the Irish government after their independence. Because duh. That's not really relevant. Land is not less important now, it's more valuable than ever, the fact that you think otherwise really makes me feel like I'm arguing with a teenager. Just do yourself a favor and look up the wealth of all the royal families of Europe.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

@@giantWario Yeah you call me a teenager when you do not realise that land-reform in Ireland preceded independence by about 50 years. Land is not valuable in the same way it was historically, social mobility is much higher than ever before. They are not doing especially badly but bear in mind wealth is a measure of fixed assets and not all of them are owned by individual people but the "Crown" which really means the government. Similar to how the British Monarch is Duke of Lancaster but the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is the one who administers it who is a government official.
