  • I just read in a book on Genghis Khan that he learned siege warfare from the Chinese and when he attacked Eastern Europe, maybe even Poland?, they didn’t know what hit them with not just boulders but exploding barrels of hot oil. When he hit Samarkand, the nearby city of Bukhara surrendered just after hearing about the siege.

    Thought it was interesting to share that motors have a lot longer history than one might think! I can’t imagine how scary they were in 1944 but in 1200s it must have been insane.





  • Lemmy and Mastodon. Only lemmy really interests me. I got pixelfed and bookwyrm too, the latter seems pretty good replacement for good reads. I don’t see myself posting just to myself on pixelfed. I also find mastodon very difficult if you don’t want to talk about Linux or American politics. I absolutely do not get the point of friendica and think the low MAU shows that no one wants Facebook 2.0
