ALL HAIL LORD SPRONKUS!!!
I was amazed just how true this is. There was a colossal head and arm of an Egyptian statue in the British museum, and a plaque saying the rest of the statue (body and legs) were still where they found it. Presumably because they were to heavy to take back.
can confirm, queen is dead but I still say god save the queen out of habit
When your king is that old, it's wise to not get used to "god save the king"
I give him a couple years tops
It's not that I wish him to be dead, but he has been waiting for the crown for too long to actually enjoy a reign
I want the dictator dead.
But the next monarch is King too.
Sounds like Death needs to aim for a double kill. Been too long since Britain had a child monarch.
Here's the difference though. Tea leaves will actually drive the ants way.
According to this, British people are ants as I am pretty sure that ants would enjoy the sweet beans on toast.
Although they'd probably prefer the sickly sugar water that Heinz come in, rather than the far superior Branston beans.
This requires some experimentation.
To the lab!
Yeah British people are just a subset of weak ants, clearly.
Beans and toast? 🤨
Exactly, what kind of blasphemy is this? It's beams on toast.
Beams, Jesus? Your day job is showing…
Didn't you read the Bible you jerk? It says Thou shan't correcth thy son of God on thy interneths.
Jesus, Jesus. Aren’t you supposed to be turning the other cheek or something?
We need to do one for the continent where it's like France/Belgium/Netherlands Venn diagram with the neighbor's dog that they swear isn't racist but only barks at black people.
It's really not on at all that some countries still have their own cultural icons. They all need to be in the British museum where they can be conveniently appreciated.
"All ants are British 'cuz they colonize" -Dan Cummins
Nah it was away from their colonies, thats how money gets made.
Everyone makes fun of the British museum, but am*ricans stole too, even entire fucking buildings
And the first (colonial) Americans were originally British. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Wait, really? Can you tell me more? I don't know what to google.
Stole their entire country from the natives for a start.
That was kinda the British too... But there was plenty of bad colonial attitude to go around.
Dog, they were sent by the British to do explicitly that. You don't get to feign innocence.
Not really true. The early British colonies had a lot of peaceful trade and alliances with native tribes until the first Indian war. And even after the first Indian war, the British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide of the Americans westward expansion.
"...The British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide..."
Except for the Boer concentration camps, the Irish famine, the Bengal famine, the partition of India...
i meant in north America before the revolution, but thats my bad for not being specfic.
