I just started reading an English translation of Cellini's autobiography, and 20 pages in I'm thinking this guy is a narcissistic lunatic.

I'm 😤 not a 🦸🏻‍♂️hero...🧜🏻



In today's 'horrifying European history', I present to you the Ypres tradition of the Kattenstoet, or festival of cats. 'How can this be horrifying?' I hear you ask 'a festival of cats sounds absolutely charming!' well, just you wait.

For you see, this is not a celebration of cats, more a... Celebration of how Ypres used to TREAT cats. Namely, they used to throw them to their deaths from a belfry for... Some reason?! People have supposed it is because they have been linked to witchcraft, others proposed they were thrown to their death after the yearly selling of clothes because... The people of Ypres are cat-killing scum?!

Anyways, the modern day festival pays homage to his practice by flinging stuffed animals from the high buildings to children below, instead of being humiliated and disgusted that such a monstrous thing was part of their city's history.

Well, if the cat-tossing fad ever comes back, you have generations of people trained to safely catch them before they hit the ground.
