To be absolutely fair to Sun Tzu, _The Art of War_ is basically "an idiot's guide to not dying in five minutes" intended for spoiled nobles who had spent all of their lives in some flavor of palace until that point.

The Nobility generally were not spoiled in a Palace. Maybe I am reading European noble stuff into it but they based militarism on blood.

5:03 Not only that. King Charles II commissioned a portrait of himself being presented with one. The pineapple became a cultural symbol for excess. Dozens of political cartoons depicted half-eaten pineapples being thrown away, which was essentially in the price range of burning down a house nowadays. Jane Austen wrote about a rotten pineapple to criticize the aristocracy.

[@Lewisiaisoutofcontext]

0:33 I hate to be that person, but being Swedish and a history nerd I can't help it. While King Adolf Fredrik DID in fact die right after a lavish many-coursed meal that included baked goods, it is said it was "hetvägg", a sort of wheat bun with cinnamon served in hot milk, that was the last straw for the king. Modern tales change hetvägg to "semlor", a modern version of hetvägg with whipped cream and almond paste, without cinnamon or hot milk. I'm also not sure where the number fourteen comes in but everyone knows it was fourteen semlor. In reality the king probably didn't eat 14 of anything that night, but had a heart attack while eating hetvägg and died a short while later.

As someone who is learning Latin, I can confirm that most French words are from Latin. I could go on all day about them.

[@DoloresLehmann]

That's because French is a language directly derived from Latin. You will find the same phenomenon in Spanisch, Portuguese and Italian, just to name the most famous ones. It's also the reason why Latin America is called Latin America, because it was colonized by countries whose languages stem from Latin. So, that's not really a surprise.

[@TR3xxy_]

@@DoloresLehmann I never knew spanisch derived from Latin

[@DoloresLehmann]

@@TR3xxy_ Honestly? It's probably the most Latin-like language still in existence, while languages like French and even Italian have changed considerably. Just take, as one example, the word for "today": It's "hodie" in Latin, "hoy" in Spanisch, "oggi" in Italian, and "aujourd'hui" in French.

4:25 If I remember right, I think how the naming process works for newly discovered things is basically first come first serve. The first name it is ever called is what it will forever be known as.

3:15 - 3:17 Waittt I get it but idk how to explain 🤦‍♀️ Basically, there was a queen (I forget her name. I think it was a queen of England) who ate lots of sugar.

He was born in the late 1800’s. And there is a point where he mentioned that flying machines were science fiction until he was 12. He said something along the lines of, “…when we got to see those two American boys take off from the ground. And now I get to see two American boys walk on the moon!”. In his one lifetime he went from flying being sci-fi to watching people walk on the moon. It’s insane.
