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.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

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

Now if you decided to stand and fight with a real pirate, there wouldn't be any back and forth acrobatics, you'd just get shot in the gut with a flintlock, fall to the ground, and one of them would probably hack your legs off." ~ Sam O'Nella (paraphrased)

17:00, also without him Italy wouldn't have been unified for quite a long time probably, even though he decided to leave the war before it was over, but still thanks to him the piedmontians started the unification of our country.

He stopped half-way through because of the Pope's influence in France.

[@lukeflanagan1307]

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. Things in the past that had been named something but was then discovered to have been named something else at a sooner time will have their names changed. So this makes sense

The baguette one is actually a pretty cool fun fact. Back then bread came in the form of loaves, which workers needed a knife to cut into. They came to work with their knives, and 90% of (bar) fights ended in bad knife wounds or worse, death. One day the manager of a company got tired of it and asked the local baker to make a bread that the men could cut with their bare hands so that he could prohibit bringing knives to work. And the baguette was born
