LB 1 Tiktaalik Tiktaalik.jpg What compelled that fish to walk on land? Why did he do it? It's a question asked by many of this magnificent creature. The truth, however, is insignificant. Tiktaalik was the birth of EVROPA, after all, due to being the forefather of the extraordinary I1 haplogroup (please remember this). He needs no petty reasons to do as he wishes - he is, indeed, walking here.

AYY, I'M WALKIN' HERE!

>20 minutes of panicked firing later, someone signals to cease fire
>searchlights illuminate a tiny cluster of unarmed, severely distressed British fishing trawlers, one slowly sinking
>three Englishmen dead, oops lol
>Russian fleet decides to just keep sailing and pretend nothing happened
>next morning, trawlers limp home, the Royal Navy absolutely flips their shit and raises steam on the entire Channel Fleet
>suddenly the Russians find their six battleship fleet being pursued by TWENTY-EIGHT battleships
>surrounded and forced to park off Spain until St. Petersburg finally apologizes and gives Britain enough money not to sink their entire navy as revenge
"If you're counting, you'll have noticed that the Russians only managed a 2:3 kill ratio against unarmed fisherman. The Oryol fired 500 shells and hit nothing. This is the fleet they expected to save Vladivostok from the Japanese."

CB 5 Decisive Tang Victory Tang.png "...Yin Ziqi had besieged the city for a long time. The food in the city had run out... The dwellers traded their children to eat and cooked bodies of the dead. Fears were spread and worse situations were expected. At this time, Zhang Xun took his concubine out and killed her in front of his soldiers in order to feed them. He said, "You have been working hard at protecting this city for the country wholeheartedly. Your loyalty is uncompromised despite the long-lasting hunger. Since I can't cut out my own flesh to feed you, how can I keep this woman and just ignore the dangerous situation?" All the soldiers cried, and they did not want to eat. Zhang Xun ordered them to eat the flesh. Afterwards, they caught the women in the city. After the women were run out, they turned to old and young males. 20,000 to 30,000 people were eaten." -- The Old Book of Tang

>"If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!"
>What do you take me for that you treat me with such contempt?...
>...How have you treated me for that copper?
>You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory;
>it is now up to you to restore me in full.
>Take notice that I will not accept any copper from you that is not of fine quality.
>I shall select and take the ingots individually in my yard,

RB 146 CARTHAGO DELENDA EST CARTHAGO DELENDA EST.png

Repeating "CARTHAGO DELENDA EST" at every single senate meeting, every single day might seem a little extreme for your average person reading about it, but let's be honest here - the Carthaginian dog had brutalized Rome and attempted to bring it to its knees before.

Do you believe, truly, that if Hannibal had the skill to completely wipe Rome off the face of the earth, he wouldn't take such an opportunity? You and I both know, my dear friends, that they would have vaporized every trace of Rome's existence. But the cowardly elephant fucker could not pull it off. Even when Rome lost 20% (TWENTY PERCENT) OF ITS ENTIRE MALE POPULATION they refused to surrender. H*nnibal, the fat fucking kissass, didn't stand a chance against the Roman fighting spirit. So now, after all that is said and done and "peace" has been achieved, what was Rome supposed to do? Forgive and forget? Let the Phoenician dogs live in peace? I don't think so. Leaving Carthage alive would have been an error worthy of Crassus. Those dogs would be scheming, plotting in the shadows on how they would attempt to destroy Rome.

So no, you fucking casual, it was not "over the top" for Cato the Elder to repeat "CARTHAGO DELENDA EST" at every single senate meeting, every single day. It was downright NECESSARY. Never forget the hundreds of thousands of muh brave Romans that fell against the deceitful Phonecians. For everything that is fair and just. For everything that is good in life. For everything that is Roman -

I am of the opinion, that Carthage MUST be destroyed.

CMF 64 Burnin’ Sherman Sherman.png William Tecumseh 'Wood-Smoked Georgian-Style Ribs' Sherman was an American author, businessman, Union general, and pioneer of southern-style slow cooking. He was most noted in life for employing total war strategies, burning Atlanta to the ground like a mad-lad, and BTFO'ing the Confederates so hard that the resulting butthurt was (literally) seared into the cultural consciousness of the entire South for decades to come. Do it again, Uncle Billy.

>"We rode out of Atlanta by the Decatur road... reaching the hill, just outside of the old rebel works, we paused to look back upon the scenes of our past battles... Behind us lay Atlanta, smouldering and in ruins, the black smoke rising high in air, and hanging like a pall over the ruined city. Away off in the distance, on the McDonough road, was the rear of Howard's column, the gun-barrels glistening in the sun, the white-topped wagons stretching away to the south; and right before us the Fourteenth Corps, marching steadily and rapidly, with a cheery look and swinging pace, that made light of the thousand miles that lay between us and Richmond. Some band, by accident, struck up the anthem of "John Brown's Body"; the men caught up the strain, and never before or since have I heard the chorus of "Glory, glory, hallelujah!" done with more spirit, or in better harmony of time and place." -- William Tecumseh Sherman, Memoirs of General W.T. Sherman, Chapter 21

DMF 44 Dirlewanger Dirlewanger.jpg

As WW2 drew to a close, the Nazis (having officially run out of lads) decided to recruit an aging Prussian LARPer with a taste for the cruel. Despite his earlier convictions for illegal arms possession and embezzlement (as well as the rape of a 14-year-old girl), he was clearly 'based and redpilled' enough to be put in charge of a commando team that roasted field hospitals with flamethrowers. He was wounded 12 times and somehow didn't die until he was caught trying to flee the Master Country after the war, whereupon he was prison raped to death. Some folks have all the luck.

CB 600 African Paratrooper Kabarebe.jpg "...Gen. Kabarebe takes his paratroopers and crosses into the Congo. They then seize commercial airliners and fly them across the continent, where they land in the Congo's primary air force base. Within days, a few hundred men had blocked off an entire nation's access to the sea, captured their airforce, cut off 40% of the electrical power generation by seizing a hydroelectric dam and were about to take the capital. It's crazy to think that 600 paratroopers nearly controlled the fate of 60 million Congolese." -- Anonymous

CMF 19 Scottish Wikipedia Furry ScottishWikiFurry.png Amaryllis Gardener is a native of North Carolina (what else?) and self-professed Christian INTP Furry (what else?). Beginning in 2013, he wrote almost the entirety of the Scots Language wikipedia, publishing around 23,000 articles over six years and eventually becoming its head admin. This would have been acceptable were it not for the fact that Amaryllis did not actually speak Scots. One observant /his/ user noticed this. The subsequent revelation made several news reports, including the BBC.

>"...Through the efforts of one obsessive who knows absolutely nothing about the topic he seems to dedicate all his spare time to, what could've been a vital resource for a dying language is instead most commonly used as ammunition against it, people deriding it as 'badly spelled English' because that's what the guy writing all these thousands of articles thinks Scots is. 600 years of literary history wiped out by a random teenager.
