    Never heard about the estrogen claim, but I definitely knew about them smoking weed. They hotboxed in their tents, lmao

    After the burial the Scythians cleanse themselves as follows: they anoint and wash their heads and, for their bodies, set up three poles leaning together to a point and cover these over with wool mats; then, in the space so enclosed to the best of their ability, they make a pit in the center beneath the poles and the mats and throw red-hot stones into it. . . . the Scythians then take the seed of this (kannabis) and, crawling into the tents, throw it on the red-hot stones, where it smoulders and sends forth such fumes that no Greek vapor-bath could surpass it. The Scythians howl in their joy at the vapor-bath."

    Funny enough, a friend of mine got into literature recently and he recently read it. He said it was fucking heavy but probably the best thing he’s read so far in his life. I’ve been meaning to get around to reading it myself, but I am also WELL aware that it is not a, uh, ‘great and tragic love story’.

    I think it’s real - Corinth Canal.

    Although the canal saves the 700-kilometre (430 mi) journey around the Peloponnese, it is too narrow for modern ocean freighters, as it can accommodate ships only of a width up to 17.6 metres (58 ft) and draft up to 7.3 metres (24 ft). In October 2019, with over 900 passengers on board, a 22.5 metres (74 ft) wide and 195 metres (640 ft) long Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines cruise ship successfully traversed the canal to set a new record for longest ship to pass through the canal. Ships can pass through the canal only one convoy at a time on a one-way system. Larger ships have to be towed by tugs.[37] The canal is currently used mainly by tourist ships; around 11,000 ships per year travel through the waterway.[38]

    In the other thread, someone posted this lovely video of someone firing this exact gun.

    He’s clearly not some weedy kid firing a gun for the first time, but he’s visibly dreading the recoil. When he does fire it, it kicks up pretty high, and if he had a less firm grasp, he very well could have hit himself in the face with it (you hear of people breaking their noses or getting black eyes that way every once in a blue moon, firing a handgun they have no business handling). According to the description in the video, the guy later found out he got a stress fracture in his wrist.
