He’d also take the piss out of people all the time.
He saw a hopeless archer practicing his shooting and stood next to the target, calling it ‘The safest place’.
He also saw a prostitutes child throwing rocks into the crowds and stated ‘Watch out son, you might hit your father’.
Lol
That guy from that fandom he fucked many
What a fucking lEGEND
My hero
Jesús you know what I WANNA become a philosopher like him if I could anyway.....
The stories of how much Diogenes messed around with Plato get even better when you consider that Plato may have been a wrestler before he became a Philosopher. That's supposedly how he got his name, "Platon", which means broad.
If that's true, it means Diogenes is regularly walking up to the buffest Philosopher in town and trolling him and it's an amazing image.
It's fun to think about. You're Plato this massive guy giving a lecture and this malnourished and dirty homeless diogenes comes into your lecture throws a plucked chicken on the ground yelling I've brought you a man and you know you cant stop him
Plato: Swole in both body and mind.
It might have helped that both of them were Socrates' students. So at the very least some respect existed between the two.
@@jocosesonata If Diogenes were here, he'd say that Plato was so overly full of muscles that they left little room for wisdom in his head.
NullPoEx
Plato had meat, Diogenes would beat his own meat.
Easily my favorite story about Diogenes is literally any story where he takes the piss out of Plato.
One story has it that Plato came across Diogenes while he was washing some vegetables in a river. Plato said to him "Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to kings you wouldn't have to wash vegetables"
Diogenes responded "and if you knew how to wash vegetables you wouldn't have to pay court to kings"
Another story has it that Plato was discussing his Platonic forms with Diogenes, and pointed to a bowl on a table nearby. "You see that bowl? There is an essence of 'bowl' that all bowls partake in."
Diogenes answered "I do see the bowl, but I also see that it is empty. So where is the essence of emptiness that this empty bowl partakes in?"
Before Plato could answer, Diogenes tapped him on the side of the head, and said "there it is"
Someone should just make a show about the hijinks of Plato and Diogenes.
I want a Spy vs. Spy like series, but with these two being a-holes to each other
Robert Sacher Spy vs. Spy requires both individuals getting the short end of the stick at some point though, and we all know Diogenes takes no Ls.
God i swear back then you could say anything and it would sound smart Plato essentially just said "this bowl is a bowl because all bowls know how to bowl" and Diogenes just replied "ayo thats fucking stupid"
Diogenes had the biggest dick energy.
Another tale of Diogenes is when he was in a city (can't remember which) they received word of an army approaching. So the citizens ran around panicking. Diogenes being the smart arse he begins rolling a large vase up a hill and then let it roll down. He repeated this a number of times before the citizens stopped to ask what he is doing. He responded
along the lines of "helping as much as all of you at the moment". To which the citizens realised running around panicking wasn't doing much and evacuated.
Lol they got roasted
At the port of Athens Piraeus. But I know that he started mopping the dirt outside of his barrel
This is a bit inaccurate!Diogenes as most cinic hated war so while people were preparing for war he was rolling his vase (house) up and forth to show he was "contributing" for the war .
That’s awesome😁
Lol, that's truly brilliant and hilarious 😂🤣
There's another version of Alexander meeting diogenes.
Diogenes is digging in a pile of bones
Alexander asks in what he's doing
Diogenes says, "looking for the bones of your father but I can't tell them apart from the slave bones."
Destruction 100
I think I've heard that one now I'm not sure who has the confusement of the emperor/king
Well, he's lucky Alexander didn't murder him in the face. Alexander was usually pretty quick to reach for a weapon, and not one to take shit from anyone. Not hating, just saying.
LeatherCladVegan apparently Alexander held great respect for diogenes
Tbh I believe there was a man named diogenes who did many of these things. But I think his exchanges with alexander are myths. He woulda been killed on the spot.
Actually dogs stare at their owners while they are reliving themselves as a sign of trust as in the wild it is a vulnerable position for them to be in. :)
I suddenly feel really bad about yelling at the dog when he's pooping in the hall
kira yep hes making sure you got his back.
Vulnerable AND venerable, I think.
Dogs are the best😁👍
Legend has it that all Florida men are descended from Diogenes’s bloodline.
Except it would have to be singular. There's just multiple instances of Florida Man.
Yes
@@NuevoExistence The dumbest motherfuckers in the world live in Michigan. Florida is just crazy/insane.
Nah they’re all reincarnations of him
The prerequisite inbreeding would explain a lot.
the Diogenes route is my plan C
Joss Green its my plan now
Whats plan a and b?
plan A was being a teacher, which fell through like 2 days after i wrote that. plan B still in the works, but plan C is definitely still living in a barrel and not giving a shit.
Joss Green it's my plan A kinda... I'm gonna move to the woods and hunt elk for the rest of my life
It was my plan A but I'm on B already. NEET and net junkie.
Imagine learning about a man because he shat in public then respecting him for philosophy
At some point he knew people were going to remember him, and then show us that trolls are apart of society
Isn’t that basically how Trump became president?
He shat in public because of the philosophy dumbass
@@neonWHALE002 We can only thank the revival of Cynicism.
Too based to be forgotten.
I just love to imagine him going to his regular fruit vendor and buying the loudest food, and the guy expecting him to eat it right there going "wait, you're not going to eat that here?" and he goes "No mate, Plato has a lecture today, I'm gonna go eat this as loud as I can, and if I'm lucky I may need to take a shit while he's talking"
At which point, the fruit vendor would be morally obligated to give him a discount.
And then would immediately give him another as he bought it
The best part is the word cynic comes from the Greek word for dog because this man liked dogs so much. I think it literally means "doglike"
That's not the reason they were called cynics. They were called cynics as a slight because people thought they had the demeanour, values and behaviour of dogs.
Diogenes: HEY, CHECK OUT THIS *HUMAN* I FOUND! LOOK HOW *HUMAN* IT IS!
Plato: Gods dammit, not again!
You said gods nice touch
Sam
O'
N----
Ha he ha ha haha he
Gods dammit. You're a genius.
YOU CAN'T BUY ME HOTDOG MANNNNNNNNN
Also, with the Irish thing, Cú Chulainn was the name of a guy who, because he killed someone's guard dog in self defence, offered to take its place and protect this guy until a replacement could be found.
Hound of Ulster
Irish mythology can get bonkers.
Jimmy
All mythology can go insane sicko mode. Cu Chulainn, after getting stabbed by a spear through his guts causing his intestines to come out, continued to walk away from his enemies, but he did not want to die a dogs death on the floor, so he tied himself with his OWN INTESTINE onto a rock, and for 3 days his enemies would shit, piss and cum while waiting and camping around said rock and looking if Cu Chulainn is dead. He also had a raven trip accidentally from his intestines and he laughed really hard before he died. An asshat named Lugaid had to trick him and manipulating a prophecy just to kill him.
In Nordic myth, Loki got himself fucked by a horse and became pregnant, and gave birth to Sleipnir the Eight Legged Horse. He also had children who was destined to kill and eat Thor and Odin.
Zeus in Greek myth would fuck anything that has holes. If Im not mistaken he had even fucked femboys.
@@Nope-en9bo Zeus didn't just fuck those he also fucked trees which is why certain trees have those holes in them according to Greek mythology.
Ohhhh now that thing off Shin Megami Tensei 4 makes sense
"Nobody comes here for the facts!"
Karl Smallwood - 2017
we come for the facts but stay for the smallwood
He would be perfect in the modern day.
Dr . Wub Yeah, the original internet troll from time way before the internet.
im sure he would offend some people and they would find it necessary to shout at him all day.
+T REX You call the fact that we arrest people who masturbate and defecate in public "trash"?
There's a version of him in a webtoon where he's a homeless gut with a PhD who becomes roommates with Alexander, the youngest chief of police in New Athens history, and spends his days terrorizing Plato and Socrates at the local museum.
@Ellie Pohlsander In the name of all Diogenes fans,could you show us the way to such work of art?
You were expecting Plato, but it was me, DIO(genes)!
IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!?!
to be continued ===>
Nani?!?
Jessie Barkwell 何?
Stop you weeb
I literally have a Diogenes poster on my wall and I'm wearing a Diogenes shirt as I'm watching this, I know the fact I own both these items in a contradiction to his beliefs but he isn't perfect, just an amazing person.
Kumquat of Death You gotta admit, Diogenes on clothes is some major irony
Now i want diogenes in a bowl to increase the irony
I’d actually guess that Diogenes would like the unashamed hypocrisy
Wow, gee, like totally literally? Really?
Yeah, such a complete and total shocker and an amazing, unbelievable and incredible coincidence that someone who likes Diogenes enough to where they would buy a poster and T-shirt with an artist's imagined depiction of what he miiiiight have looked like, would also happen to look up videos about Diogenes on TH-cam. Seriously? Smfh....
I wanna see dishware with him on it... No screw it, I want dishes with *dogs* stamped on them. I only have chickens... T.T
There's another Diogenes in Corinth story that I've always liked.
When Philip II of Macedon marched on Corinth the entire town flew into activity, some forging or repairing weapons and armour, some patching walls, some strengthening battlements, but no one gave Diogenes a job. So he gathered up his rags and began to energetically roll his barrel up and down the square. A passerby asked what he was doing, to which he replied, "I do not want to be thought the only idler in such a busy multitude; I am rolling my tub to be like the rest."
One of my favourite tales of Diogenes was when someone called him a dog, he started pissing on him, saying: "what do you expect? I'm just a dog".
If you try to become Diogenes, please film, we deserve to watch it.
About every female sub would probably enjoy seeing Karl beating it Diogenes style in the street.
I don't think Diogenes will approve of said person owning a recording device even for reseach purposes.
But a camera is martial possession
CER SIVA and some of us guys too tbh
Will do
Fun fact: Praxines the Constipated also didn't give a crap.
ddogbud great pun
ddogbud ohohoho
Diogenes was the ultimate troll
He was the real shit tho, not hiding behind a screen, just shitting in front of your face
usagi tsukino was?! IS!! Also perfection does not exist.
Wasn't "dog" his nickname too? People would call him "Diogenes the dog", or something like that
Simon Parks If that's true I'd imagine he took it as a great honour...
Yes, kinicism (derived from kinos -dog) became cynicism
They sort of called him a dog as an insult for being a hobo, and it sort of became the symbol of cynicism
Cynic indeed is a derivative of ''dog' (= κύων in ancient greek), which later became official term. But the nickname stuck to Diogenes, because he preferred to act like a dog, people treated him like one, then he said ''ok then, I'm denying my part in humanity, a dog I am''.
he admired dogs because they're totally honest which no human is. taking the piss once as he often did he went walking around in broad daylight with a lit lantern and said he was looking for an honest man
You should have mentioned how it's said he died by just holding his breath
Alexander Etheredge how is that even possible?
Wouldn’t you pass out and breathe normally?
LegoBoyFilms that's what some historans say it's probably bs but it adds to his mystisym.
I mean it’s likely impossible and is more a tale about how he died but I like the idea.
idk... if you were pretty old maybe the strain of holding your breath could cause an brain aneurysm
That isn’t physically possible as when you pass out you start breathing again
The stories of Diogenes always bring me so much joy, and there are many more, like the time he got kidnapped by pirates. Anyway what's truly charming that as weird as antisocial as he was the people of Corinth respected him and after his death erected a pillar with a marble dog on it :)
(which I am sure Diogenes would have thought is pointless and stupid :P )
dident he also get captured by alexander's father as a spy and awnsered "yes" while roasting him about his war command?
The original punk! _Paracharattein to nomisma._
"Perhaps no philosopher is closer to the truth than the cynic, for the happiness if the animal, who is, after all, the consummate cynic, provided living proof of the truth of cynicism." -Nietzsche, _On the Utility and Liability of History_
Was nietzche speaking about diogenes in this route?
Almost certainly
Diogenes is my favorite person ever in the history of everything. I'm glad he's finally getting his due. His interaction with Alexander the Great is easily the most incredible story in all of history.
Intro: Diogenes was (description of Diogenes here)
'So who was Diogenes?'
Dearest Karl Bigwood,
Thank you for compressing the life of the greatest man who ever existed into less than half an hour. I will be using this video to tell other people how badass Diogenes was.
A man like Diogenes is incorruptible. Such a man would be considered dangerous. Also very sad that so few even noticed the Reign clip. The underrated of the underrated.
Diogenes the Cynic sounds like the name of a dark souls boss
Have the balls to piss off Plato is also something extraordinary. Plato was also a former wrestler, with several golden medals at the olimpics games at the time.
“Stealth is optional for this mission”
If a man cannot cry for a Dog then he is truly worthless,
Wait. Can man not cry for a Dog? That is imposible, if someone does not cry for a Dog, then i refuse to recognize that someone as neither a human, a person, a man or a life form.
@@diablo.the.cheater it's called you name it you get attached to it
@@DkKombo ok sociopath
@@DkKombo Hey maybe you should pull your head out of your ass and realize disregarding animal life doesn't make you cool.
I'll cry for a cat but not a dog. I'm a Stoic not a Cynic.
"in the house of the rich man, there is nowhere to spit but his face" -Diogenes, anti-capitalist icon.
@Thelondonbadger Capitalism in ancient Greece? Ridiculous!
"What you gonna do ? Complain ?"
- Diogenes, probably
One more thing about Diogenes and dogs: He was called a "kynos" which (later became "cynic") and is greek for "dog"
I swear like 2 weeks ago they had like 16k
Crashidy690 dude he did shit is wild
Crashidy690 The rate he's gaining subscribers is kind of amazing
They had actually 36k
Yeah dude, check their socialblade:

I found them in my recommendations
One of the best Diogenes stories was when the town was going to get invaded. While people were running around screaming, Diogenes was rolling his barrel up and down a hill. Someone stopped and asked "what are you doing?" He stopped and said "just making myself as useful as everyone else."
This is the kind of shit that makes me proud to be Greek
Why? Everything about him is pathetic. He's one of the biggest hypocrites in history and an utter garbage human.
If that's how Greeks are then I hope your country burns to the ground.
Broken Wave don’t speak so lowly of yourself. I’m sure you might be worth something someday :)
Modern Greeks are not the same as ancient Greeks btw...
@@brokenwave6125 Diogenes was a fan of unashamed hypocrisy.
But the thing is, Diogenes wouldn't be proud of anything :p let alone ancestry.
So what you're saying is, Diogenes was a furry with better hygiene?
essentially, but he's more of a man than any of the furries we got now
Your words are something i'd expect from diogenes, good job.
Over the last week and a bit TH-cam hasn't been giving me notifications for anything even with the bell icon ticked. But this channel is so good even TH-cam doesn't want me to miss it
Side note; it's 1am and I can't sleep suggestions?
(Reason for lack of sleep is I don't sleep much and I just got a motorbike so I'm super excited to take it out again)
Knock yourself out, interpret that as you will.
@@Lepong20 how's your sleeping been over the last year? Did you crash the motorcycle yet? (Hopennot)
I lost my dog of 10 years yesterday, and your story about Penny made me smile because my Sadie used to do the same thing right up until the day she passed. Thank you for unintentionally cheering me up.
i am using up my 4g cause as soon as i got the notification, my internet died. I blame Brad
“You thought it was Plato, but it was me, Diogenes!”
Basically the sam o’ nella’s academy video but longer
also without those sweet samo'nella graphics
diogenes is chavo del ocho CONFIRMED
Diogenes is also well known for being stuck in a cauldron and attempting to scale a mountain using a sledgehammer.
8:27 Fun fact, the guy who played the Annoying Devil is now my A level Physics Teacher
Mazing
Omg no way lmao
In a rich mans house, there is no place to spit but his face
diogenes was also reported to have dug through a pile of bones, looking Alexander the great dead in the eyes saying he was looking for the bones of Alexander's father but couldn't tell them apart from the bones of common men.
Diogenes, the first ever otherkin
... I wish I had a tenth of that kink confidence
Sam o'nella
Corey Sprinkel yes he did it's quite interesting.
Toby Grice historians
Help I can't shit no more
finally someone said it
I just recently got into this channel. The presentation feels so authentic and the ideas are so original. I read about Diogenes in National Geographic History Magazine last year. I think he had a good point about what possessions and social constructs mean, but I'm not sure it was a good way to get his point across. I prefer the stoics to the cynics, lol.
Diogenes was great, he didn't prove his point whit words, he used his entire lifestyle to prove his point.
It's been a couple years since this was posted. But you missed one of Diogenes greatest* exploits. He had a nick name in Greek that translated to "door kicker inner" because he was known to randomly kick in the doors of people's homes and begin lecturing them on ethics all the while the home owners would be yelling at him to GTFO
Nearing 100k! Just a few days ago you were at 88k! So excited for you guys i really hope this channel takes off
Woop notification squad :D
Also, love the vids and its awesome to see your channel grow, keep up the funny stuff :)
We need another episode just about dogs. Listening to Karl talk about Penny is always one of my favourite parts to some of these vids
CONGRATS WITH 100K! I WAS WATCHING THE LIVE SUB COUNT!
i just can't stop watching videos on this channel, congrats on 100k subs! you deserve it
“Behold, a man.”
Congrats on 100k!! You deserve it and can't wait to see where this channel goes
Congrats on 100k lads!
I love how all the topics that are brought up are put as pictures and they just stack
You look so freaking young in the picture! X3 And Penny sounds utterly adorably! You should totally just do a video on your many many dogs, for the craic! XD
Apparently you guys just hit 100k, and I’m very confused by how fast this happened but also quite happy it did
6:32 "Cú" in Portuguese means something entirely different.
I'm glad you're made these videos longer
You are so close to 100,000 you have to do a video "taking the absolute piss" out of your silver play button when it shows up
Diogenes complete apathy to Alexander the Great's entire existence is one of the greatest things i have ever heard
Fun fact: the word canine is derived from the latin canis, which in turn is derived from the greek word "κύων". The word cynic (greek: κυνικός), is also derived from the greek word for dog. So yeah, being a cynic pretty much meant you were ''like a dog'', which would mean that it wouldn't be much of a stretch to call Diogenes the first literal cynic to have ever lived.
I feel like you get another 1k subs every few hours. It's awesome! Well deserved. Thanks so much, you two. :)
Dogs are pure
What a fucking legend, I want to be just like him when I grow up.
The intro screams for a video "Karl Smallwood doesn't give a f**K"
this is my favourite factfiend video. this is the video i watch when not even the third cigarette calms me down. this may just be my 2nd favourite youtube video. nr 1 is move bitch ukulele cover.
It's amazing how he did with nothing but force of will, what takes the average homeless person in Portland years of heavy drug use.
Until I looked at the date, I thought this was one of the current videos... Karl, rocking that lockdown haircut two years early!
Bradace Reveal at 100K Subscribers?
John Roscoe what channel?
I just found this channel and i have spent the last three hours at work. (I pack up interlibrary loan books) listening. Keep up the great work
The one question Dingenes could never answer. "Who's a good boy/girl?"
Just realized that in his eyes that small homeless child must of seemed like a genius to him as even a famous philosopher did not think about cupping his hands this making his bowl redundant. A homeless child in his eyes must of been a truly insanely smart person.
Karl is watching horrible histories again
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers, you guys deserve every single one of them.
ya like daags?
my dog always comes up next to me on the bed, does that walk in a circle thing and then flops on top of me like the people elbow nowhere near where she was circling. cracks me up every time.
I love when Karl tells dog stories, Penny is my new fave.
Someone said to make fun of people freaking out about an invading raid, he started to roll his pot up and down a hill. He said he was being as useful as the people running around screaming doing nothing.
So Diogenes is the original troll? :P
Rocks D Boat no, Diogenes is the most successful troll. People know who Diogenes is.
First time learning anything about Diogenes today, thank you for the information!
Penny sounds freaking adorable, thanks for sharing your stories with us!
Diogenes is actually my first name
One of the my favourite quotes from Diogenes is “in a rich man’s home there is nowhere to spit but his face” or something along those lines
Man, Diogenes would fit right in in modern San Francisco.
You guys are so close to 100k, shows how good the channel is
Well you got an ad this time! But it was grindr ;-;
The real question then is why does the adsense algorithm give you a grindr ad?
Maybe you should come out to yourself, if you haven't already...
rushthezeppelin I am a 42 year old disabled transwoman, and it tries to sell me small business accounting software. Pardon me if I don’t take its choices as indicative of much. ;)
it tries to sell me schizophrenia meds lol
The term Cú was sometimes used in a more literal sense as a prefix used to refer to the dogs themselves such as Cú Culainn literally meaning hound of Culainn (The dogs owner).
You guys would make the Emu Wars hilarious.
They did.
This is just from sam o’nellas video on him ?
This man was a complete legendary lad.
