It was me. Sowwy

No, that’s the wrong Caesar. Caesar became a dog behaviourist on TV

These gramaphone records may be worse for you than the wax cylinder!

Well, if you want to get specific, the Doge of Venice built a fleet to transport the crusader armies departing from Venice, but due to them mostly not having the money to pay for transit, he instead of sailing them to Jerusalem, he got the sailors to take them to Zara (on the Adriatic coast of modern day Turkey) with whom he already had issues with (they were rebellious subjects of Venice he wanted crushing).

After that, the Byzantine prince Alexios Angelos persuaded the crusaders to restore his deposed father to the throne and in payment would help them in their goal of taking Jerusalem.

They did what he asked but Alexios backed out of the deal so the Crusaders then sacked the city instead and instituted the short lived Latin Empire.

Or the fourth crusade which was supposed to go to Jerusalem and then onto Egypt but they got lost and just thought “fuck it, well capture Constantinople instead”

I’m not sure what’s worse: the awful AI slop, the late-stage Facebook level meme attempt or the obvious boomer baiting.

I remember the first time I saw the phrase “streaming video” was a website called “teen steam” (which I desperately wanted a credit card to access) in the late 90s / early 2000s.

I’m sure you can guess what the content of that site was and I was sure that “streaming” was some new sex act I had yet to discover and wanted very much to find out. Sadly I was too young, too poor and logged onto the Internet in the school library at lunch time so it was always going to be a long shot.

A curling gif? In the wild? Yay!

Wow very judgemental community here

(or newpipe)

That’s what she said!

^I’m sorry^

Washing always helps

Or just being plain nasty.

Yeah, where do you get off making out Stalin was the bad guy? Don’t you know FDR was mean to an old person once?

Whatever the meme is I can’t see it because lemmings.world blocks access to the UK now 🤣

If you can measure them individually and count them they’re plural, if they’re more figurative or impossible (or at least impractical) to count they’re singular:

Age

Sand

Stones

Inches

• Forced collectivisation of an entirely agrarian economy.

• Industrial policy that encouraged small scale iron smelting in homemade furnaces causing huge environmental damage.

• Agricultural policy that ordered the extermination of sparrows who then couldn’t keep insect populations down causing catastrophic damage to crops.

• Brutally cracked down on any dissenting voices, including scientists who happened to point out the potential flaws in Maos plan

• Contrary to OPs post, covering up the mistakes afterward and blaming outside influences and counter-revolutionaries rather than the failure of central policy.
