Yet somehow manages to be even more cringe than Squall, which is quite the achievement.

It's a decade old lol.

Rattlesnake in the wild, thanks to an insane ex-military Scout leader I had that was trying to prove a point to us (his Scout troop).

It was actually a lot better than I expected, but I wouldn't recommend it for a number of (hopefully) obvious reasons.

Considering that it was more concentrated, and also more thoroughly destroyed in a single act, potentially yes. Unfortunately we don't really know what was contained in the BHoW, but that could be said for the LoA as well so that's a moot point.

Sorry to be the one to break this to whoever still believes this:

The main myths surrounding the Great Library of Alexandria are that 1) it was just one enormous library 2) containing a half-million or more scrolls full of ancient knowledge that was 3) sensationally destroyed in a senseless act of vandalism.

Problem is, there's no hard evidence to substantiate any of that nonsense. There are so many fantasy accounts of the “Great Library,” its founding, its contents and its destruction that we today really do not know how much of it is true and how much is revisionist bullshit. But we're pretty sure most of it is revisionist bullshit.

It's more likely that the “Great Library of Alexandria" was actually comprised of two or three (or maybe more) small “libraries,” which were just limited collections of scrolls and reading rooms associated with various Greek temples. These were all part of the larger Mouseion (a scholarly Greek institution honoring the 9 goddesses of the Arts, aka the Muses), which had branches all over the Greek world at the time, all the way back to Athens.

The Greeks were also famous for making multiple, multiple handwritten copies of any literature they encountered, such that the scroll collections at Alexandria probably existed as duplicate copies elsewhere all across the Greek world. So, it would be virtually impossible to destroy the collected knowledge of the Ancient World by simply destroying one “library" in one city.

Furthermore, the alleged fiery destruction of the “Great Library” has undoubtedly been blown out of proportion for millennia, right up to the present, by opinionated pseudo-historians attempting to assign blame for one heinous act that may not have even happened. The fact is that nobody knows how the Great Library (or several small reading rooms) of Alexandria came to an end. Very likely, it met the common fate of most libraries throughout history…a gradual decline of interest and eventual extinction due to lack of funding.

Haha good stuff ty.

There's probably an XKCD about that.

Are you insane? "you canadians" lmao, yes I went to Africa myself and attacked these people, what country are you from exactly? Are you personally responsible for every thing every company of your country ever did?

What. Is. Your. Motive? Stop dodging the question, why are you attempting to defame the entire country of Canada and all its citizens?

edit LMAO judging by your post history about American politics, you're American aren't you, how the fuck do you sit there and judge Canada for the actions of one corporation, your entire countries corporate history is drenched in international blood, what a fucking hypocrite.

Don't dodge the question.

No there was one, literally one comment chain.

The rest is mostly Americans screaming about Canada to make themselves feel better about themselves.

This seems to be the only comment chain that actually explains it, the rest of this post is mostly Americans bringing up every crime and misdeed that Canada has ever participated in or even is connected to.

Sorry you got downvoted for bringing up the point of the original post, which was the title and linked image, everyone else on their hate parade and is too busy.

Compared to the US which is loudly doing bad things constantly.
