AskHistorians

This sub got lazy and fat like the people on the ship in Wall-E with answers this should have and now will be to the best of our abilities a more lean community where people can come and have a resource for reading facts. If there are any questions please DM me or my mod mate for any questions. Thank you and we are still looking for new mods with hopefully specialized in certain aspects of history. This is a friendly place please be civil and kind but also direct. Thank you have a nice day. We will accept any critique to any question or answer for review if you think it is a problem. This will be the open post for questions about rule changes and every pertaining to this community. Please do not be afraid to contact US mods for any questions and will get back to you in roughly 6 to 12 hours.

Kind of seems disrespectful.

But we will take everything under advisement. Also like always if you are good at some spot of history or science history or something. We will take all comers to be mods with respect and will read (from now on) more closely your post and comment history and your interaction within the community

Don went ahead and notified me about this new position at around 6:30 a.m. PDT, so I might as well introduce myself here (hopefully, this doesn’t break any of the rules I don’t know about, Don).

Taking advantage of the lax rules to ask a very broad question, maybe too broad. Feel free to answer with your area of expertise, whether geographically or temporally.

Also did they just cut out a piece of black cloth and hang it? Or was there something more intricate?

It’d take 10 lifetimes to read every book on this topic, so I’m not sure if I should use up my limited single lifespan on Al’s output, as much as I love him as a comic. But if his work is actually solid, maybe his unique POV would make for a worthwhile read.

I am sure it was different back then but how did it evolve from just hurtful speech to something you can get arrested for? Is there like a time line of cases or incidents or something????

Just trying to keep it in house for our community, so you can opine about it. Thanks ahead of time.

My assumption is that it’s probably been a thing since roads, so possibly since at the least Ancient China, but I don’t know, so I was curious if any experts know.

I know it was Jesus’ first birthday party, perhaps with the slightly older Judas Iscariot lurking in the background stuffing his pockets with party size Snickers bars while everyone else sang יום הולדת שמח, but apart from that.

We are looking for knowledgable people and get off on providing knowledge to others. And who can ask hard questions where it makes people think.

I mean it must have take a long while to light a goat or something similar on fire as a sacrifice. Do then the believers just go home come back the next day and keep lighting it till its down to ash? Or when it was burnt to a crisp did they use the meat to feed the villiage city or town?

Purely asking this for some fiction writing

For example, I don’t imagine them needing a handgun, food supplies, gear for camping, and so on. Would such items have been taken away and reused on soldiers/pilots who were expected to survive awhile longer? How would the interior of their planes differ from those of regular pilots?

I highly doubt someone woke up and completely came up with Superman and the history and such.

I’ve never really thought about it before, but just wondering if there were additional incentives besides exploiting antisemitism to gain power and control.

What are some well known food and drinks that where in use by cultures around the world until someone “discovered” it and changed it

I’ve heard a few theories. One being they didn’t need to invent war ships and gun powder due to their unique situation with their neighbors. Another was that when they came to south America thousands of years ago then they were separated from where civilization first started and we’re essentially starting over technologically. Along side the starting over idea, their food was of poor quality like the the evolution of maize into the corn we have today.

I’m wondering if there have been any notable cases historically where a criminal blackmailed a innocent person to confess to that criminals crime.

I guess they where with an alliance with him, while Napoleon invaded in Egypt? But later where beaten by Napoleon in egypt in a battle. I do not know much how they reacted to his quick rise through europe, and his downfall at Waterloo, where they where only viewers bystanders to these great Napoleonic wars in central europe I guess.

Socialism is leftism, Nazism is not, so why were they called, and some people still call them, the National Socialists?
