Just because I like music doesn’t mean I have to like every genre and artist.

Fuck Rome and nazi Germany. Lemmie tell yous about railway history.

It all began when John Train had a great idea for a new method of transport…

Oh, my sibling in sin, I will tell you things about railways you wouldn’t believe, like a proto-railway that played a role in the 1745 Battle of Prestonpans, or rope haulage, or how the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales was designed to constantly go downhill because it was opened in the 1830s before steam locos were both powerful enough or widespread enough to be practical.
Sit down, I’m going to tell you about how the inventor of the RORO Train Ferry died in shame.

That’s a pretty good source to understand the zeitgeist of the whole railroad boom. It’s fictionalized but pretty truthy.
StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Railway history is incredible because it was very much built on personal spats between various millionaires and scam artists. Yerkes is probably my favourite example of both.

Don’t worry, actual vikings within one generation of the fjords get a pass for being fans.
Same with Italians and being fans of Rome.
Not Germans, though. Sorry Germans. You know how it is.

Jokes on you, I know a lot about the Spanish Civil War, Second Italo-Ethiopian War, and Second Sino-Japanese War too.

The French Revolution took about a century to fully process through. There were several instances of guillotines and piles of heads. We usually know about the first one (and the second one for those who’ve seen Les Misérables. ) During the post 1789 process there was also a weird cult thing that looked a bit like MAGA, until even the cultists got tired of Robespierre’s bullshit.
Marie Antoinette was a perfectly serviceable princess / queen and fielded charities and smiled at the commoners and all the things ambitious feudal ladies are supposed to do. She never said Qu’ils mangent de la brioche but the rumor of it was current, and sped her way to the guillotine. She was also accused of sexual perversities, including The German Vice (lesbianism) most of which had to be explained to her so she could deny having doing them.

Fun fact: Robespierre was nicknamed the incorruptible (prior to the reign of terror) for his strong moral convictions including his opposition to the death penalty.

Les Mis does not depict the second French Revolution, but the June Rebellion years earlier.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
I may be thinking of the July Revolution of 1830, in which case you’re right. They’re not the same, just related.

Should I know about the other 11 before digging into that one?
Valmond@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nah they’re just more or less the usual ashole king. The 12th was a complete douche, think angry spoiled kid, went on a war rampage in russia/poland and grabbed some land, got wrecked (but that’s just bad luck eh right?) went to invade norway, got shot in the head lol. Such a great king.

hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
tell me your top 3 aztec facts please
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
One: Women would use indigo hair dye called xiuquilitl to turn their hair blue.
Two: In Tenochtitlán human waste would be collected from public toilets for fertilizer. Thus it was someone’s job to sail the “poop canoe” to deliver night soil.
Three: Only a certain type of cacao was used as currency. Counterfeiting was rampant.

They hate it when you clown on Sparta like a smug Athenian too.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
Sparta? Those dudes that lost the most easily defended fortification in Anatolia? When the entire war plan revolved around them defending it?
Good thing the Athenian fleet won when outnumbered.

As a young nerd, I was happy that the national broadcaster decided to show history documentaries every week.
I was kind of disappointed that it devolved into a World War 2 Hour. But I guess it was inevitable.
