PugJesus@kbin.socialOPtoSaltier than Carthage (if it had been salted)@kbin.social•How irresistible!1·1 year agoExplanation: Romans, unlike some Greek sources, did not find a small penis to be attractive - but an overly large penis was considered comical and barbaric. I suppose the “I’m perfectly average!” was the real mating call of the Roman man.
Also, going down on a woman was considered emasculating. Nonetheless; it was acknowledged as often happening (and used as an insult), and male prostitutes are recorded advertising their prices for cunnilingus.

PugJesus@kbin.socialOPMto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Anti-Nazi resistance fighters in the Netherlands, WW2, 194451·1 year agoOh yeah, Israel was instrumental in Hamas’s rise and sustainment. It’s just that Hamas would never have gotten the opening if Fatah didn’t become either hilariously or sickeningly corrupt, depending on whether you feel like laughing or crying at the absurdism of the world at the given moment.
And now Israel is trying to genocide Palestinians while blaming their own tool, Hamas. What a fucking shitshow.
PugJesus@kbin.socialOPMto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Rosa May Billinghurst, sufragette, in her tricycle wheelchair, sometime around ~1910?71·1 year agoEvery source I’ve seen refers to it as a tricycle. I don’t know what the additional two wheels are for, but they aren’t touching the ground in the pic, so I’m inclined to keep the original description.

PugJesus@kbin.socialOPMto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Anti-Nazi resistance fighters in the Netherlands, WW2, 1944223·1 year agoProbably has something to do with Hamas being a bunch of institutionally anti-democratic Islamist shitheads who took power from Fatah, an actual left-wing and secular and at least nominally pro-egalitarian organization, because Fatah was corrupt - only for Hamas to prove themselves as corrupt as Fatah ever was.
But sure, let’s celebrate Hamas and their imposition of women wearing hijab in public and forbidding them to leave without guardians, or the brutal murder of LGBT folk trying to flee, or the complete dismantling of democratic infrastructure in Gaza.
Hamas are fucking shitheads. It’s just that Hamas being shitheads doesn’t justify Israel’s ongoing attempt at genocide.

PugJesus@kbin.socialOPtoSaltier than Carthage (if it had been salted)@kbin.social•"Take a lap"1·1 year agoExplanation: The survivors of the Roman defeat at Cannae were shamed by having been crushed by a numerically inferior force and bringing the outcome of the entire Second Punic War in question in one disgraceful stroke. It wasn’t really their fault, but the shaken Roman Republic desired some scapegoats, and “These guys who survived because they were in the camp didn’t fight hard, like REAL Rough Romans!” was an easy one. As such, the survivors of Cannae were sent to garrison duty in Sicily - tedious and hardly glorious! They were forbidden from returning to Italy until the war was over - the great Roman general Scipio Africanus took these defeated men with him on his expeditions against Carthage, and returned them their honor by decisively ending the war on Carthaginian soil.

PugJesus@kbin.socialOPMto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Woman condemned to die of starvation for the crime of adultery, Mongolia, 191316·1 year agoI took over the community because it was unmoderated but already active, but I’m not a fan of the ‘x-porn’ name. In any case, this is just a place for historical photographs of interest.
Far fewer, not systematically; mostly unnaturalized immigrants and those with connections to the Italian government. Many of them were released before the war’s end. But yes.
