history

Please tell me. Maybe leave a link to it also.

Today we're finally living in the year 2025. I know for some people it's just another year but the fact that I've lived to see 1/4 of a century finished feels significant. What has the 21st century meant to you? How do you feel or think about the 21st century?

AGORA ROAD'S FIRST AND ONLY POST-HARDCORE THREAD (After a long wait, it's here) (Every underlined text is an hyperlink) Post-hardcore is a subgenre of rock and punk music born in the 1980s that keeps hardcore punk's agression and intensity but with a much bigger creative freedom and...

So Biden's term is coming to a close pretty soon. This thread is dedicated to observing and reflecting on the last 4 years of our modern era.

(Someone told me to open a thread about it so here we are) Yesterday while clicking links and reading obscure Wikipedia articles, I stumbled across the Reedham Orphanage, an old-timey orphanage that operated in London from the mid 19th century to 1980. The orphanage is featured in one of the...

Disclaimer: This is about as "WOKE" as you can get, so remember you decided to continue reading after this sentence. This is not my opinion but a semi-journalistic piece based on research and my own lived experiences. This is not an advertisement for obscure self-empowerment tapes, mind-altering...

When I think about gaming history and legacy for consoles, usually they come out and last for a while before a new generation drops. PC is slightly different since that's more about hardware components that get upgraded but it still has it's history. During that time that a console is out, some...

It's really really cool and kinda fucks with your brain seeing stuff like this: Also helps to humanize all those people in the actually old photos. Check it out! link

The End of History and Neon Genesis Evangelion 1. Life's a Beach and You're Here Dude I believe we're living in the End of History. Though it's difficult, and maybe even impossible, to pin down when it exactly happened—it could still be happening, it might always be...

A few months ago I visited a museum that contained an exhibit about the Windover Archeological site findings. There was such dramatic historical revisionism I felt compelled to write this. If I create a website, this will be my first post. I finally feel like I have something truly meaningful to...

Post warped nostalgia from the future. What will people think about life today 20 years from now? What about 1000 years from now? This is 50% grateful posting and 50% dystopian future comedy posting.

It's interesting whenever people try to assign a specific date to the death of a platform, considering that platforms and corporations and websites and the like are sprawling complex entities. I think it can be done with relative accuracy, however. For me, the date of YouTube's death will always...

So, long story short, one of me mates wanted my opinion on this particular video (I do not think it is anyhow necessary to watch it, but it provides context): View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYzhMN0JUD4 My answer resulted in the biggest write-up about Ancient Egypt I've done so far, and I...

Cheers people. By the time you're reading this, it means that I probably have stopped talking about this completely, in its full form, in real life. On the internet, I've always abstained from getting too deep in, and now, I'm letting it out as much as I can for the first and last time. This is...

It just suddenly makes it a new aesthetic. https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Aesthetics_Wiki

There are many beliefs that are centered around worshipping the sun, but I have found it very hard to get any information on beliefs including the moon as the core celestial body of worship. I am aware that Wicca to some degree places importance on the moon, but it's my strong opinion that...

This is a thread to discuss Denver New Wave, also known as DNW. What is Denver New Wave? Denver New Wave is a subgenre of new wave originating from Denver (and the surrounding Denver metro area, which includes Golden and Boulder) in the early 1980s. Denver New Wave is different from normal New...

I don't even know how to spell desensitization, yet here we are. History and journalism are tough fields if you are working on tough subjects. Writing about some nice period in history or taking photographs of good-looking celebrities in bikinis is one thing. However, if you're working on...

This is an article by Jef Raskin, who has worked in computing since the '60s and worked at Apple. He notes the high number of historical inaccuracies in various accounts of Apple's history, and muses on the cause of such mistakes. I think it's an interesting microcosm of greater flaws in the...
