Historical facts which are surprising

I like this board. The level of intelligence is pretty high. There's very little pretentiousness. And /pol/ gets swiftly btfo.

On that note, post some crazy historical facts that'll blow someone's mind.

Fact: Oxford University is older than the entire Aztec civilisation.

>talks about high intelligence
>starts a cracked.com tier thread about surprising factoids

>The level of intelligence is pretty high

>go back to /pol/
they never had a chance desu

It may lead to interesting discussions and also educate people. Chill, dude.

>The level of intelligence is pretty high
We're all retarded. Why do you think Veeky Forums chose Charlie as its mascot?

Compared to /pol/, or even Veeky Forums, it's head and shoulders bruv.Have you been to Veeky Forums lately?

>hey, er, guiss, is the earth really flat??

At least it's possible to actually learn stuff on this board.

>Veeky Forums is intelligent
Just today I saw some retard saying he thought Ungern-Sternberg was a fictional character from some videogame mod.

>hey, er, guiss, is the earth really flat??
meanwhile on Veeky Forums
>hey guys were the Egyptians really black?

...

>The level of intelligence is pretty high. There's very little pretentiousness.

>There's very little pretentiousness.
Entirely wrong. History itself is stupid and pretentious babbynonsense, stupid redditor.
'facts' don't exist.

As opposed to Veeky Forums, where it's:

>I'm really smart. Why aren't you really smart, too?

That Hitler spent most of his time around men.

You know, OP isn't far from truth. Relatively speaking, Veeky Forums is smart, if compared to the other boards that focus on things that should require some thinking, like /pol/ and Veeky Forums.

>polshit
>stemshit
>smart
Fuck off to reddit

/pol/ has literally butchered this board.

Just to give an example.
>go to Veeky Forums
>first thread is some retard asking why don't people go up in time

>hurr durr

*inside

>The level of intelligence is pretty high.
Veeky Forums is without doubt one of the most retarded boards on Veeky Forums.

Sami tribesmen would nuder their reindeer by simply biteing their testicles off.

In an event of her baby catching the cold Eskimo mothers would suck the snot from her baby's nose with her mouth.

You don't go to /x/ much, do you?

Damn that place is at a level of retard which is immeasurable

>they don't accept my childish materialism so theyre le dumb!

Yh but those threads are obvious /pol/ threads. Every board gets them.

Christians of the Greek rite believe that the bodies of Christians of the Latin church, buried in Greece, do not decay, because they are excommunicated

No, dude. They don't accept basic logic. /x/ is the flat-earth and tulpa board.

>In an event of her baby catching the cold Eskimo mothers would suck the snot from her baby's nose with her mouth.
africans and west indians do this too

>logic is good becuz i sed so
lmao
The earth is flat mate and there isn't even any valid psychology discrediting the notion of tulpas (on the contrary really). I suggest you stop jerking your braincock.

The joke is that only a pretentious fucking twat would think any Veeky Forums board is "more intelligent" than another.

Hey /x/ how do I get a tulpa

I didn't even see someone else was already railing on /x/. Oops.

...

They are completely unrelated and all it will do is bait Aztecaboos.

bumpt

Yeah you need to try some other boards, senpai. Veeky Forums is by far one of the most intelligent boards on Veeky Forums, same with Veeky Forums. Retards don't like to talk about history so they avoid this place. Veeky Forums is overrun with /x/fags and autism and stopped being fun 2 years ago.

Apart from the obvios /pol/shit, Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums are the intellectual bastion of Veeky Forums.

*obvious

Obviously.

> There's very little pretentiousness.

Hey fuck you kid my collection of 15th century ink pressings are unparalleled.

Why do you anti white leftists want a safespace?

>people only post on 1 board
how did they get these iq numbers again

>/lgbt, /fa and /ic above 80
>/adv above the negatives
Thats some quality bait

>The level of intelligence is pretty high.

Nigger, take a look at the kind of discourse we have talking about Anne Frank. Posts on her fall into four categories.

A minuscule impossibly-small-to-measure amount of them are objective posts about her life and her role in history.

1/5th of them are Jeff Mangumfags from /mu/ quoting lyrics from his shitty songs

3/5ths are pregnancy fetishists, /k/ommandos, Charles II fanboys, and Dixieboos who jack off to pregnant Anne Frank porn and write erotic fanfiction to go with it. All because /pol/ wrote some stupid copypasta to make fun of Jeff Mangum and /mu/.

The remaining 1/5th are racist assholes from /pol/ who openly fantasize about raping and killing her (sometimes not even in that order), post stale memes about her father writing her diary, pretend to be experts on the history of writing instruments and say the ballpoint pen wasn't invented until after WW2, claim she never existed, or outright say she deserved to die.

Welcome to Veeky Forums, newfag. Enjoy your stay.

>very little pretentiousness
Case and point: everybody contradicts you when you call them smart.

Veeky Forums isn't on there, is it?

>1/5th of them are Jeff Mangumfags from /mu/ quoting lyrics from his shitty songs
Literally who?
If there's one band that gets its songs quoted on Veeky Forums the most it's Sabaton

Lead singer of Neutral Milk Hotel aka the drooling retard of indie rock. Has a well documented obsession with Anne Frank and she is the subject of many of his songs.

/pol/ used his own lyrics to write a lurid copypasta where Jeff fantasizes about having sex with a pregnant Anne Frank and forcing her to blow him while she's giving birth.

Post a thread that literally just uses her photo and guaranteed you'll see "I LOVE YOU JESUS CHRIST" or "I am genuinely in love Anne Frank..." within the first five replies.

3/5th reporting in.

It's explained in the fine print at the top, retard
t. comfortably above average s/adv/irgin

around as in pressing their engorged penis snugly in his anus, their considerable girth and length warmed and stimulated by his anus, stretching himself willingly for their pleasure

>reddit-tier "le epik shocker fact" that only takes normalfags aback

DUDE DUDE LMAO

Is this a joke post?

I sure don't feel smart for cracking up at that joke every time I see it.

/x/ is just bad roleplaying nowadays.

Veeky Forums has a sense of humor. That doesn't make them stupid.

Veeky Forums has a sense of humor. That doesn't make the users stupid.

dwarves didnt retire in gibralter

To be quite honest, i love how Veeky Forums can manage a decent discussion in objective way as possible. About the retards i think it's common because this is Veeky Forums. At least Veeky Forums is less retarded if you try to compare it with /pol/.

>/lgbt/
>average IQ
Everyone there is a complete fucktard. I'm not sure if AIDS has rotten their brains but they literally have the cognitive abilities of a small child at best, dumbest board on Veeky Forums by a nautical mile.

popular-archaeology.com/issue/april-2011/article/the-last-neanderthals

it follows that they wouldve reached beringia before humans something like this
sciencemag.org/news/2015/11/oldest-stone-tools-americas-claimed-chile

Bering strait hypothesis is nonsense.

they just built huge cannons and shot themselves across

all these boards are pure shit, I only visit here since the traffic flow is enough to satisfy my autosomal needs

>interesting fact
All socialist countries from the eastern bloc and countries like the DPRK, Cuba, etc didn't have/don't have a Rothschild bank.

Ok, that was so spot on and pointed I'll give you a medal for that.

No, they used boats to travel across the Pacific (easily doable, the spread of the sweet potato is an evidence of this). Bering strait was so cold and unhospitable it was impossible for people to actually settle there like the hypothesis is assuming.

>OP starts thread talking about bullshit and gloating about how the bogeyman board gets BTFO
>OP gets BTFO himself
I-it's like pottery

/pol/acks were some of the most active pushers for a history board wtf are you talking about? It's only natural that a founder gets a cut of the pie

>post some crazy historical facts that'll blow someone's mind.

DID YOU KNOW THAT ADOLF HITLER WAS A BLACK MAN?!

dewd

OP here, when did I get btfo? I must've missed it.

Goering was Tito all this time

Adolphous Mein Negger.

Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.

His Dad killed JFK

Say what you want about the average post qualities on /pol/ and Veeky Forums but there has been a staggering amount of moments of pure genius from /pol/. From the HWNDU sagas to /sg/ finding an ISIS training camp to posts about influential political strategies to even flag banter screencaps. Meanwhile, and I say this with this board being my home board, the most memorable moments on Veeky Forums was someone who thought it impossible to sail to Sardinia and Anne Frank copypastas.

Shut the fuck up you closet white supremacist internet warrior. A history board was made for people to discuss history, nothing else, the historical discussion on pol always equated to hurr durr Egyptians are white ervpa is the center of the universe. I want to shoot you

You just never stop with the Rothschild memes do you?

Back to /pol/ with you fucking nazi

>And /pol/ gets swiftly btfo.

Veeky Forums tries to attract posters to make itself relevant. I've noticed this infatuation, if I can't be you, then I'll reflect you.

t. Butthurt polack who got BTFO we wuzzing Greeks and Romans as wh*te

>Greeks and Romans
Totally different peoples, Romans ethnically cleansed the Greeks, enslaved large portions of them, and systematically destroyed every last Greek kingdom in the middle east.

Fun Fact 241: The Romans feared the black warrior.

Fun Fact 242: This is among the least educated boards on Veeky Forums.

Fun Fact 259: Dresden was a hoax.

It's pretentious to recognise that one group of people is smarter than another?
Literally every board cries that it's the worst board on Veeky Forums, you're all just unappreciative faggots.

The explanation given doesn't make any sense.

>double-blind cross reference test
>involving Veeky Forums

Sounds neat. Wtf does it mean and how did you carry out such a task on Veeky Forums? No explanation given.

>users are identified by their most visited board

Which users, and how could such data possibly be collected? No explanation given.

For a long time now I've seen this image pop up occasionally, and it just doesn't add up. How such a thing as board IQ could be quantified using the absurdly vague "methods" given makes 0 sense. Especially regarding subject matter which is entirely hypothetical. I can't believe I took the time to write this. It's a dedicated trolling.

OP here.

Yeah I take it all back. You're all a bunch of autistic retards. I'm going back to /x/ where an actual discussion is semi-possible.

>reee why are people making jokes
Literally end your life.

wronge

>/x/
>where discussion is possible

Yes, I wish it were still 2011 as well.

It's so obviously bullshit that it shouldn't even need to be explained.
Do you really think that we have multiple boards where the average IQ is one hundred and fucking fourty? Do you realise how exceptional that is?

140 iq here.

Sup breh?

140 isn't high tbqh. You're probably around that. I'd be surprised if you were under 130. 170 is high.

Then again, you wrote 'fourty', I'm docking 5 points for bad spelling

I tested 142 but then I ate some lead paint chips, smoked some weed and then got hit on the head.

>The level of intelligence is pretty high
Talk about autism

It's not that surprising, Veeky Forums is not representive of the average population and smart people tend to be quite autistic and not fit well among normies

I'm around that now and I've smoked weed for 10 years. Fuck knows how smart I'd have been if I'd been a good lad at school and stayed off the drugs and bitches.

Yup, pretentious. OP is a lying faggot. Oh wait... I'm OP, wtf am I saying!?

*exits stage left*

(you) the tweet

When do I start noticing the smart people? All I see is shitpost upon shitpost.

Veeky Forums humor is very smart and subtle

Mao slept with atleast 6000 woman,mostly with virgins
most of them praise Mao's prowess

Dude, for the first year I visited Veeky Forums I argued with everyone that used the word 'nigger'. I thought people were being racist when they wrote shit like 'fuck you, nigger!'. Yep, a retard.

Veeky Forums maybe a shithole, but it's probably the best shithole on the internet. Definitely one of the most humorous.

this
unless its some low traffic obscure forum with its own inside culture and dedicated members Veeky Forums is absolutely adequate for discussion
i remember being banned from some discussion forum because i called people out for larping bullshit

Evidently not because Veeky Forums needs a constant boogeyman like /pol/ to feel superior.
