Diogenes was an absolute legend. Friend to dogs, his only possessions were cloths people threw on him so he wouldn't run around naked, and a bowl for water Then one day he saw a kid cup water in his hands to drink it, and threw away his bowl in disgust at the wasteful indulgence he had unknowingly kept with him. He was a sarcastic bastard too; when a fancy shmancy philosophy hall nearby defined man as a "Featherless Biped" He stole a chicken, plucked it, and released it in the lecture hall, saying "Behold; A Man" When the emperor came by and asked him what reward diogenes wanted for his contributions to philosophy, he simply replied "to get out of my sun" as he had been sunning himself beforehand. Diogenes is the Real O.G.
The best part of that last episode about the emperor, (Alexander the Great). Alexander was so impressed by Diogenes' wit, that he said: "If I wasn't Alexander, I wish I were Diogenes'" And Diogenes replied "Well If I wasn't Diogenes, I would also like to be Diogenes" Wich is the most epic comeback in history.
6:05 For anyone who doesn't study history, enjoy this super simplified and family-friendly explanation. Europe said hello to Egypt and for a while left their own people in charge. This happened more than once and European families moved to Egypt to eventually hold decent/high positions. Almost like it was a great supplier of food or other luxuries and European nations recognized that even in the ancient days. I do understand all of this was ancient days but some things were more ancient than others :P 8:45 I've heard and never confirmed, that they only accepted witches being real and burning them out of fear of a widespread peasant rebellion that they had no hope of stopping. Before that, it was punishable by burning to believe witches were real.
To expand slightly further, while the picture is inaccurate due to facial features, Egyptians were and still are not as dark skinned as sub-Saharan Africans, and many North Africans in general have a skin tone similar to tanned Europeans or otherwise Arabs. This skin tone is especially similar to Italians and Greeks, specifically.
@@yh0o because it is homelander >= 3 The Romans were in charge for a bit, it's from the game Pharaoh and is briefly brought up in the expansion there's a Roman dude in charge and he's rebelling against Rome with Cleopatra. spoiler, they lost.
The last witch hunt happened as late as the 19th century, when 26 Sami shamans were burned at stake for practicing magic. This was around the time when borse culture and thus christianity was properly begining to spread to be the Sami, but they still went to local shamans for help with daily needs. A lot of people don't know the full history or just how recent this barbarism was. A lot of the revisionism is just the church trying to make itself look good by passing off the witch hunts as some secular or political event. But the fact is, a lot of the witches who were burnt were in fact *actually* actually witches, meaning people practicing some sort of pagan tradition. Yes, a lot of it was also fear mongering. But a VAST majority was active persecution of rural communities who never quite let go of pagan beliefs, or even of fringe christian sects, and in some cases hebraic sects. One example of a Christian sect would be the cathars or occitania, and an example of Hebrew persecution would be the burning of Prague by a joint army of Catholics and protestants during the reign of Rudolf II. I find it truly amazing that such prominent parts of history are generally left out in modern education.
"Historically accurate" Stolas: Hootie hoo I have knowledge about the stars to tell you. Helluva Boss Stolas: Almost fucking died. Coulda just turned Striker to stone. Didn't. Bruh. (no hate towards Helluva Boss, just wondering why Stolas doesn't defend himself.)
@@studiouskid1528 Sure, but mostly those diseases were what killed you in childhood and if you didn't die then you probably had a good enough immune system to last a long time.
I'm not Swedish but I know enough about the country and its people to know that either those were VERY large buns, or the meme is lying. Or the buns were filled with literal poison and he should have died after just one but wanted to eat more so badly that he overcame the poison long enough to eat 13 more. Like the Rasputin of delicious baking.
It was 14 servings of het-vägg which is semlor cooked in milk. I think it’s like 4 semlor that are about the size of half a modern semla. Plus there had been a feast so he had also eaten lobster and other shit
3:39 Žižka is our history, we learned about him, most Czechs know the date when was burned alive, he even has a day dedicated to him, but this...we never learned in school, that makes him a lot cooler than he already was. 😂😂
14:00 As a weirdo occult nerd who fucking loves talking about demons, this is the fist time in YEARS that I've seen stollas depicted as anything other than a gay twink. I have, since the beginning of Helluva Boss, gained an intimate understanding of how historians must feel towards the FATE franchise.
Fate actually encourages people to learn about history and mythology, though, because it directly references them. I mean, I started reading some 500-year-old Italian poetry (translated to English) because I wanted to learn more about Astolfo... and it turns out Fate/Apocrypha actually does him justice, he really is best boy! He actually is a halfway-insane adventurer-hero who cares more about chivalry and friendship than about his own life! By the way, Orlando Furioso is basically an anime in epic poetry form.
Now someone understands my pain lol 100% instances when i see "Nobunaga" in nickname, person in question turns out to not know any nobunagas besides anime girl from gacha And catgirl named "Dobrynya" who have nothing in common design-wise with Russia or bogatyrs (well, i guess they proud of cat joke in the name. And i'm aware that its his wife) is biggest crime against mythology since Changeling: the Dreaming named goth-fairies "Sluagh" and make them of Russian descent. despite having nothing in common nor with Scottish ghost-swarms whose name they have, nor with anything from Russian mythology. Thank God i'm not particularly interested in Scandinavian mythology or Marvel would kill me with their nonsense (and i have 1,5 Marvel fans among my friends)
For the record the thumbnail is wrong. A swedish did die eating dessert but it was Semlor and not cinnamon buns. Also he ate so much his stomach was so jammed packed it burst.
Came here to say that but you beat me to it. For the curious, you can find information about _semla,_ and why you would eat until you burst, here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semla
yeah Imagine being a wise demon "thing" and being respected for thousands of years just to have your name forever linked with a cheating h*rny bird dude who is never shown teaching astronomy to ANYONE in a cartoon...
@2:04 And Juius Caesar had a reputation of treating his subjects well... Not so much the slaves, but then, probably still not a s bad as Bezos treats his employees
Ah, but first he had eaten an undisclosed amount of smoked herrings, caviar, lobster, sauerkraut and boiled meat with turnips and champagne. The desserts weren't cinnamon buns, but a pastry called "semla" wich is a wheat bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream, floating in a bowl of hot milk. There are restaurants that serve Adolf Frederick's death menu if you want to try it out. "Semla" is still a very popular pastry, and they are sold everywhere in February (beginning of lent).
8:07 July and August were not added, they were renamed, they used to be named Quintilis and Sextilis. The calendar used to have 10 months until January and February were added, which, iirc, was before Rome was a republic. However, instead of March having gone directly after December, there just weren't any months where January and February are; calendars are usually invented for agriculture and there wasn't much agriculture to do in that time
11:03 Believe me, they knew. It looks like this is supposed to be Reginald Bunthorne, a character created by the musical-comedy duo Gilbert and Sullivan. Bunthorne was almost certainly based on Oscar Wilde, the gayest man in Britain (and second-gayest in America), and is one of the only characters in a Gilbert and Sullivan musical not to end up married.
I love how China is the only other country on that map that is drawn that massive They may try their hardest to downplay us but even they must admit we'll always hold a candle to them at the very least
sometimes i can’t tell if certain aspects were just made up as a placeholder or that one made-for-TV moment actually happened and Earth is just a large theater play
1:30 They made the bear a private so it would qualify to go on a boat with them, since mascot animals were not allowed. Also, it did eat cigarettes. Alexander the Great: I am the most important and powerful man who ever lived. Diogenes: get out of the way. You’re blocking the sun
Vaz please do some spider memes. Like people can catch them doing crazy stuff. Like just look at a Heteropoda maxima. Anyways thanks for making memes every day they make me happi
8:40 The catholic church in real reality: I know that witches aren't real, but I will act like they are and tell everyone that they exist so I can steal the dead women's land (accurate)
4:34 THAT IS WRONG AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT! THE AVERAGE NEADERTHAL LIFESPAN WAS 64 YEARS, AND SOME INDIVIDUALS LIVED TO BE 85-90. INCLUDING A 79 YEAR OLD MAN WHO HAD NO FUNCTIONAL LIMBS AND BOTH EYES FUSED SHUT BY AN INFECTIOUS BONE-GROWING DISEASE.

Striker had angelic material that he used, which would have probably blocked Stolas’s powers.

As a Swedish person I am utterly suprised our king only managed to eat 14 buns in one sitting
14 semlor.
