    Guys... I'm starting to think this Adolf guy isn't so great!

    Let me finish reading his Wiki though. Shit's wild.

    Bit idea: start prefixing every major historical event with "the first". e.g. "The first 9/11" "the first capitol insurrection" "the first COVID pandemic." That way history books will be ready when they happen again.

    I get this feeling a lot when I read about a historical event. I want to tell everyone about it.

    You guys would not believe happened to King Edward V of England.

        As a child-king he got fucking murdered by his uncle who was supposed to protect him.

          I was ready to say you cheated by hyphenating, but unfortunately you expertly kept it under 20.

          I also feel like I learned unnecessary information about British royalty that I normally try to avoid because I confused Henry V with Edward V. But in fairness to myself, fuck the Brits.

            About the only thing America got right was telling the Brits to fuck off.
