Anyone find it weird that we simply don't know where some significant historically documented battles took place.

Like Boudicea's final stand is somewhere near the London part of Watling street (a street that extends from Dover to Wroxeter via St Albans), with 80 000 losses, and we've just... never found the bones.

Same with the Battle of Stamford Bridge, where we know 8000 people died (including Harald Hardrada) somewhere in the Derwent River, but no bridge or bones found.

We know these events happened from written record, but the physicality of it just isn't present.

I don't know what I'm really trying to say other than that I feel there's a weird disconnect to a past that existed.

Just randomly stumbled on this song, and despite it being something I used to laugh at for its dramatics when I was younger, it really resonated with me just now.

Could be the beer talking

I've learned that not wearing pyjamas just soaks the bed with sweat, so might as well wear them and just change them out in the middle of the night as and when needed.

I've learned that sleeping with the window open only does nothing but ensure that I hear the birds at 5 in the morning

I've learned that a decent blindfold works better than any curtain

Hey, I liked your resignation letters.

I could see that a lot of time and love went into the reddit, and it's a site I still miss dearly due to how it shaped me during my formative young adult years. That wouldn't have been possible without the diligent and balanced mod action you guys enacted all those years, so thank you for your service.

Glad to see you here!

Watch the steps, get a drink, have a good time now, welcome to paradise, paradise, paradise...

Edit:

Oh wow. I must be having a brain fart.

I thought I just now read on the Lemmy front page about how the Accidental Renaissance mods have moved to Lemmy, it even had imgur posts of the resignation letters. But when I look at those letters, they are dated to 2 years ago.... and this communitiy has been running just as long...

I think I'm lost in time? Really sorry! Deleted my stupid post

I just want to browse tunes from all over the world

The ones that inspired you, or left a positive influence in you

Mine is literally being held together by two rubber bands.

Suggestions for a new one would be most welcome. Though to be clear, I'm not asking for an idealised wallet, I'm asking for the specific one that you have now that has lasted you X years without complaint

The more worn and frayed, the better

If you were going to sell your house tomorrow, what would influence your decision the most?

Assume that the difference in money offered isn't that wide, and it comes down to personality.

Who would you want living in your house right now?

• Married couple?
• Same religion or beliefs ?
• Ties to the area?
• Type of work (Banker? Social worker?)
• Same cultural background?
• Has physical skills?
• Asks a lot of questions about the house?
• Wears formal attire?

I need ideas guys, I've got my first house viewing tomorrow and I'm pretty low on the ideal candidate ladder.

The above website itself has fan-drawn maps of the landscape of the Night Lands, and I love looking at it from time to time
