Wait I thought it was just a world without Hitler

Right? Where all our words came from - historians would have a field day

Write your own bible with the truth, distribute it to safe locations like Constantinople, Alexandria, and Baghdad.

I genuinely think I fixed my ADHD with coffee. I know exactly how dumb that sounds, but I genuinely think it’s true. Sorry about your shitty parents. Hope they had their good moments.

I wouldn’t mind being there at the end of the children’s crusade, at the edge of the Mediterranean, as scores of kids wait for it to part. I’d just be there with a table and a chair, selling them Yo-yos

Bring him back to the future with you

“Tribal knowledge.”

Though, I actually like this one. It’s a pretty cool phrase you can use anywhere.

You’re always playing catchup when in a conversation with others; they’re racing ahead on the topic, already knowing both sides of the discussion and throwing their own spin on it, and you’re just sitting there staring at them mouth-agape as you try to process what is being said in realtime, but can’t quite grasp even the base concepts nor the terminology of what they’re talking about because their shop talk is so far removed from the baseline that it’s practically a whole subject in itself.

The smart thing to do is to just interject quickly with simple questions to highlight your supposed ignorance, and get some quick definitions to keep you at least somewhat up-to-date in the conversation.

But you don’t… either too ashamed of your own ignorance to draw attention to it, or rejecting it outright instead of facing the humiliation and telling yourself that you’re not that interested in the topic anyway.

That’s how it feels to me, anyhow
