Hush for a bit, sir.
I'm chaining these together.
No randomness here.

@bigtiddyoneesan Whenever you mention the 5th Dimension I get lost because my knowledge on the 5th D is like, absolutely zero. I require words of knowledge!

All I know, is that Caesar, is a salad dressing dude.

@Hitspark
The 4th dimension is time, and it's purely linear (goes in a predetermined line).

The 5th dimension consists of all possible timeline branches, and actual timeline changes can only occur by traveling at this level or higher.

(Relatively) easy to understand vid on it.

With raids across the 'no man's land' between the two walls becoming frequent, Pompey caught a break when some Gauls defected and began leaking out intel on Caeser's wall. Utilizing this information an all out attack was made on the southernmost section and successfully pushed back Caesers wall, Pompey took this chance to sieze one of Caeser's wooden forts in 'no man's land'.

Caeser thought of this as a tactical mistake and sent a group to attack it, moving along an obscure route to catch the garrison by surprise. It worked as the Pompeians were caught off guard. Now it was the Caeserians to be caught off guard becuase within the walls of the forts were... another set of walls. Pompeian reinforcements moved in on the trapped legions, few were able to escape back to their lines.

Labienus, now serving under Pompey, made his way to the prisoners of war condemned his former fellow soldiers and personally made sure each and every one of them were put to death.

Now out of food and having suffered a blow Caeser withdrew from the siege, Pompey did not pursue arguing that an opportunity to deliver the killing blow would come. That opportunity would manifest one month later at Pharsalus.

Before clocks became commonplace, the term for counter-clockwise was widdershins.

The term "Saved by the Bell" has really morbid origins.

Back in the before times, people weren't great at telling if someone was actually dead, so a lot of people ended up being buried alive.

Because of that, often times today, when old coffins are opened up for whatever reason, they find scratch marks inside of it.

Old timey people were aware of this as well, so they created a method that gave non-deceased people a (small) chance to get rescued, by putting a bell on top of the grave stone, and connecting it the pinky toe with a piece of string. Thus, allowing the (likely soon to be suffocated) person a chance to ring the bell, and hope someone nearby hears it.

I always remember this, whenever I rewatch the Saved by the Bell series.

Folk etymology has suggested that the phrases "saved by the bell", "dead ringer" and "graveyard shift" come from the use of safety coffins in the Victorian era.[5][6] The "saved by the bell" expression is actually well established to have come from boxing, where a boxer who is still on their feet but close to being knocked down can be saved from losing by the bell ringing to indicate the end of the round

A cunt is a sheath for a sword
Vagina also derives from a word for a sword sheath.

Fun fact: H. P lovecraft named his cat a racial slur

 

[wowfucktron]

@retarded_egg
AAAAAHHHHH HELP ME H.P. LOVECRAFT’S CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of Lovecraft’s stories were about race or his insanity. He was severely mentally unwell and was constantly in environments conducive to fostering his paranoia.

The Shadows over Innsmouth story was about him realizing he was mixed European, he was horrified by miscegenation in general and that story was about him living a lie and his reality being shattered.

The Cthulhu Mythos was built off of him confronting his own irrelevance in the grand scheme of the universe, something most schizophrenics struggle with. He was genuinely convinced anything and everything humanity has ever done is pointless because there will eventually be a higher species that will come along and subjugate us.

A lot of his stories were built off of what most schizoids experience: fear of the unknown due to an inability to separate delusion from reality.

Fun fact: Inhaling small amounts of alcohol can make a person way more drunk than drinking the alcohol instead.
This is why I take my alcohol by gas canister instead of by cask 😎

Fun Fact:
Roger Ebert, the famous film critic, was an enormous anime otaku.

According to him, he was a hardcore anime fan. /a/ had once found an account on an anime forum that seemed to belong to him.

One of his lesser known hobbies was attending anime conventions and reviewing “notable” anime on his personal blog.
