Fridges don't need any more rest, they're always chilling.

You guys are getting bread?

Actually, the British are just one of the most recent of hundreds of civilisations who took things from other cultures. Everyone just hates on the British because they're still around.

Seriously?!?

"Can I apply my own anaesthetic?" "Sure, knock yourself out!"

Awwww. Friends forever!

Bringing up the revolution again?

And the Australians couldn't even beat the emus.

Tis Valhalla indeed!

No, your ancestors were! - Sincerely, the Irish

I recently saw someone doing this on the lake where I live. He was on a paddleboard holding what looked like bat wings. It was a windy day, so he was getting some good air I guess. :)

He does look like he came straight from that era, though!

Tea drinking came to England in 1650, but because it was expensive, didn't become the most popular drink in England until the early 19th century. It took oolong time.

She didn't know at the time... and when she started to know, it was way too late.

Well, I know I'm not getting shot in Norway.

Franz Ferdinand feels this...

Task failed successfully

And the Nazi-Soviet Non Aggression Pact??

Everyone: "Tanks can't cross the Ardennes!" - Heinz Guderian: "Halt mal kurz mein Bier"

For those who don't know: after WW1, Germany started to design new tanks, which they weren't allowed to because of the Versailles treaty. To disguise that, they stated that they were building tractors ( don't ask me why that worked)

How very humble

The Germans had a similar experience too...

In terms of total air power, the US Navy is second in power to the US Air Force. 3rd is Russia, with the US Army and the US Marine Corp rounding out the top 5.

So cruel! Ironically it was apparently Canada that passed laws to ban liquor first, then USA followed while Canada repealed decision. Canadian bootleggers got rich after that. 😁

Hey hey hey, he tried but we fought back! - Finland -

Cross dresser?

Ah yes, I knew a girl in college who admired Stalin. Told her that if he were in power, she'd very likely be designated an enemy of the state due to being in college.

Belgium: "I had one colony but I did some of the worst things out of all of you."

Boomers had to deal with all of the sh*t that happened afterwards so cut them some f*c*i*g slack modern hate culture!

Istanbul not Constantinople, yeah it's Istanbul not Byzantium

Are you applying for a position that involves two lanterns, a horse and a loud voice?

Hawaii was unified in 1795 but it was independent for 800 years or so before that. By culture, language and customs, Hawaii was a country long before European maps designated it as such. If we applied the same metrics to Hawaii as contemporary European "countries" , Hawaii was a country a lot longer than. 103 years.

Can someone help me wiyth this one?

Wyoming and Utah always look like two rectangles that overlapped and Wyoming won the overlapping corner

They got tired drawing the lines about halfway through

Obscure fun fact(s): 49 states have at least one straight line segment along their border. I think that Hawaii has no straight line segments since it has no borders with other states. The distances between some of the islands is enough that those islands should be separated by international waters, but I can't find a source about it and I'm skeptical about the US government's adherence to accepted rules on the limits of territorial limits. There are exactly zero states that are rectangular. Untitled-6...585c6d.jpg

You forgot South Africa. The 50 000 white women and children that died under terrible conditions in concentration camps. And the 100 000's more African natives that also died in similar camps that no record was kept off, except for the skeletons in the mass Graves....

I read harry Truman as Harriet tubman 4 some reason?

This happens frequently to very flat countries with no natural geographical borders.

Sacha Baron Cohen. He will always get an upvote from me. One of the best satirists of all time.

Being well-fed is evil capitalism. Therefore, we shall stay hungry, comrades!

My great-grandfather was living in the region of Lorraine during WW2. History class became really weird when my teacher asked us to talk about our families' experiences in the war...
