it's difficult to explain, but there's a certain type of post on twitter that basically just serves to demonstrate that the author knows about a particular historical fact or topic, but the topic in question is incredibly well-known and basic. people across the political spectrum will cheerfully post a picture of a ww2 plane with bullet holes any time the topic of survivorship bias comes up. people seem convinced that this shows intelligence and historical acumen when it really makes you look like you learned everything you know from cracked.com here are a few examples of historical reference memes that are played out to the point of pain: - The aforementioned survivorship bias plane https://twitter.com/Duderichy/status/1660291386883571714 https://twitter.com/upzone_CA/status/1633000123516219392 https://twitter.com/oncloud_e/status/1665074708239499265 - The demon core (for some reason, this seems to have recently become a furry/anime meme) https://twitter.com/FruitzJam/status/1695665400325849217 https://twitter.com/gahhnie/status/1695819478427386100 - charles ii of spain https://twitter.com/JonnElledge/status/1648454579334569985 https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1648453714183864321 if you have other good examples, by all means, post them. i love a good wiki binge, but nothing makes me roll my eyes like people digging up entry-level wiki binge entries and treating them like they've struck gold Aglet56 has issued a correction as of 20:55 on Sep 6, 2023 |

this thread is like birdshit islandquote:It was said that the islands gave off a stench so intense that they were difficult to approach. They were a clutch of dry, granitic mounds thirteen miles off the Peruvian shore, about five hundred miles south of Lima on the west coast of South America. [...] Predators and prey both are preyed upon by the Peruvian booby, cormorant, and pelican. All three have nested on the Chincha islands for millennia. Over time they have covered the islands with a layer of guano as much as 150 feet thick.

this is unfortunate, but sadly predictable. after all, "Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It."
