    Mississippi is too hard to say and spell. So henceforth because some bearded lady insulted me on a paddleboat ride in 1982 it will now be known as America River. It's a river and America runs through it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER PRESIDENT OF RIVERA DJT #TRUMPCOIN a-little-trolling

    Iroquoian word Ontarí:io, which is most commonly translated as "great lake" or "beautiful lake," though some sources interpret it as "lake of shining waters" or "sparkling water." 

    The name predates both Canada and the United States, appearing on European maps in the mid-17th century (first recorded as Lacus Ontarius in 1660). The Canadian province of Ontario was named after the lake, not the other way around picard

    During the Western Eclipse, there were two popular forms of entertainment. The first one was putting on 'earphones' to listen to two strangers bantering while you were stuck in traffic. The other was sitting alone in a dark room watching 'electronic games' on a 'computer'.

    You mean playing 'electronic games'.

    No, they watched strangers play the game and talking over it. Everyone under 30 got all their information and opinions served to them by people broadcasting themselves playing 'electronic games'. Some of these players got rich, and wielded great influence and power. They styled themselves with ridiculous names: Fouldaggior, Prophecy, Moldhaven, Creampie, Shaslik, Zimzam, Hoooorg...

    This is a serious history class, you can't just make stuff up, no one is going to believe this crap

    "Now honest to God, I'm not making any of this up." But in Chinese.

    Anyway I remember peeking in one of the fresh history books my high school had and yeah, they referenced Trump posting on Twitter.

    There's so much documentation now that this stuff should survive, but it does makes me wonder if there are legitimate historical events that are universally accepted as mythology because they sound overly farfetched and couldn't be extensively documented in their era.

    Me, minutes after reading an official government tweet claiming a graphic showing that our entire solar grid failed to generate any electricity between dusk and dawn proves that solar energy is a catastrophic failure: No emperor could be stupid enough to believe he was wearing clothes he couldn't see.
