Monks did most of the writing and artwork.
Monks main diet was brassicas.
They grew their own food.
Do the math, it’s wish fulfillment
Brassica, it is ALWAY brassica.
Mate, when a full monastery is blowing the covers off every night to the sound of foghorns i care little for correct plurality
I read their response not as “The correct plural is brassica”, but as “Friggin’ everything is a brassica cultivar”.
If you didn’t know: cabbage, kale, broccoli, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, collard greens and cauliflower are all selectively bred cultivars of the same species.
You are correct. Not sure why he felt so attacked.
No, not everything is brassica.
But everything that isn’t brassica is cucurbita.
Yo mama’s so something something biologists something something brassica cultivar.
Yo mama’s so widespread they renamed brassica after her
I think you’re really on to something here, if you don’t work in history or something, you should run this by a historian or scholar and see what they think
Explains the rabbits as well! You come up with this on your own?!
Monty Python makes so much more sense now
That’s my guess too. Snail plague there heart to be evidence of it somewhere. Also when did escargot become popular?
This makes so much sense, is there any evidence? I don’t want to spread the rumor as a fun fact unless there’s something behind it. Very fun idea!
The ones with the rabbits are pretty messed up as well!
Ahhh…this explains the rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
That movie is shockingly historically accurate.
The snails also explain an odd event in Runescape while doing the Temple Trekking minigame. Now that I think it, Runescape also has a historically accurate fascination with Brassicas like Cabbages, which would correlate with a historically accurate aversion to snails.
That’s the kind of thing I doodle in my notepad when I’m bored during a call.
I’m concerned.
I’m aroused.
I’m concerned again.
Imagine getting beaten with a stick by a rabbit as his friend robs you, while your friend draws it for historical archive.
The Snail Wars lore has been lost to time
Our DNA never forgets. That’s why to this day, every human has an innate and irrepressible fear of snails. It’s true.
Well, in France people eat them… It could still be related though…
Most things are actually delicious when cooked well. Alligator? Stingray? Guinea pig? Cow tongue? The heart of nearly any creature? All of them are better than chicken
We eat things not because they’re delicious, but because they’re convenient and reasonably delicious. Snail used to be a delicacy… They don’t eat it in France much anymore because they’re not convenient anyone
We still do eat them. Well at least I assume some people do as I can’t stand it. But you still find frozen snails in pretty much every supermarket around where I live.

Like children.
Also a French delicacy
Honestly I like snails, they look kinda cute. I get excited whenever I happen to find one
Stormlight Archives vibes.
I won’t be like the others.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Imagine future civilization digging out some of today’s memes…
Well, do you see any giant snails around? No? Then thank those knights
Sounds like an ecological disaster to me, so no thanks to them.
“Lisa… I’m going to buy your knight”
The exact same thing will happen hundreds of years from now with amogus memes and
:.|:;Is there a god damn font character for loss??
…Is loss a Unicode character now??
:.|:;~:.|:;~
Cool! I never thought of that!
A few hundred years from now, historians are going to be equally confused by the horse-sized duck images …
And why there are so many pictures of bananas next to things.
"We hypothesize that the bananas of the 21st century were a different type, one that grew in a wider range of climates. We’re not certain why this breed seem to have randomly fallen from the trees so often, but perhaps it helps explain all these other drawings of inattentive humans slipping on random banana peels as well. … "
There going to have to sift through so much porn.
Porn will train the next-gen AIs and, since AI cannot tell the difference, in the future 90% (-99%?) of all language will be based on porn, just as (looking back with 20/20 hindsight) the proportion of the current internet would imply must have been true of today’s culture.
“Yes spank me harder daddy” will come to mean “I would like a promotion in my place of employment, so that I can take on exciting new challenges in this fast-paced, team environment”:-)
Ofc, “help me stepbro, I am stuck” will still mean the same thing as it always has.
spoiler
the joke here is that the change in meaning has already occurred
Future generations are going to be so confused… :-P So exactly as we are now, I guess? :-D
Well Dodo’s were big ass duck like birds, though not as near as big as a horse. Weird thing, they haven’t been extinct that long.
Shoebills are a little closer in size, and they’re still around.
What about the cat pictures? Will they think they’re our gods?
Wait, they aren’t?
Source: the cat pictures from every single culture in history.
Ye olde memes.
Because they probably had a great sense of humour, comedy clubs and memes back then too, but hey let’s ignore that for just a moment to imagine how hardcore a knight you would have to be to fight off Cthulhu snails
The mystery of the medieval fighting snails 23rd December 2023, 09:00 EST
This dude got payed to post this Ai article on christmas eve
I think we know the real answer.
Humanity was ruled by giant snails and their hyper intelligent queen, and it was only through the bravery of these fine knights were our shackles cast off and the mollusk menace thrown down.
And, in great effort to hide our collective shame, all knowledge about this was intentionally purged, Save for a few manuscripts who managed to be overlooked or were kept in hiding, so hints of humanities true history would be known.
And now we listen to the snails in our ears.
Was this event also when we as a species managed to free ourselves of our Slurm™ addiction?
God, is this what the American education system has come to?
Slurm was made by worms that had a physical appearance akin to slugs.
Neither of which are snails!
learn your history! and biology!
i mean, you joke, but the rest of us are pretty sure that Futurama is the american education system at this point
Can’t be. To many smart people and woke liberal agendas like strong women and the existence of brown people.
Hail Mollusca! Slime will prevail!
Did they also take that challenge with the immortal snail?
Plot twist: its actually the same person making the snail memes today, yet to be caught and looking for new ways to stay one step ahead of the snail
one step ahead of the snail
I dare say it shouldn’t be very hard to stay one step ahead of a snail.
But it never stops since its immortal. Keep that motherfucker in eyesight or one day it’ll just be there at your feet, waiting to kill you!
Oh, it’s easy to run away from a snail. You get away, and for weeks, even months, you stay vigilant. But one day, when your vigilance fades, you find yourself surrounded
Garden warfare!
I mean, I would guess dragons were a thing because of dinosaur skulls being found a long time ago. There were also giant dinosaur mollusk shells, so maybe this is the equivalent?
Gardeners… Nuff said
