  • Fuck yeah, you posted something about my hyperfixation! I love the Viking age so much, what little we know about the raiders is always interesting to read about.

    (if you’re interested in that time period I HIGHLY recommend the book “Eaters of the Dead” by Michael Crichton, it starts off nonfiction with one of our earliest known historical records of the Vikings written by Ibn Fadlan, and as the book continues, it shifts from nonfiction to fiction with a variation on the Beowulf story!)

    It truly is tragic that so much knowledge from Scandinavia during that time frame was never written down, its such a fascinating time period and such a fascinating culture!

    (Just a note: when I use the word ‘Viking’ here, I refer to both the raider job/caste, as well as the people that made up these raiders, primarily consisting of Norwegians, Swedes, the Rus, and some of the Finnish, all of whom were primarily peaceful farmers and traders.)


  • youtube is plagued with these bots that either copy someone else’s comment (normally positive of the video creator in order to avoid being auto deleted) or use some chatbot to come up with phrases, the picture is always some attractive woman or sometimes just straight up images from porn, when you click on the profile the banner image or profile links will contain a link to either a scam site or an onlyfans page. They generally also bot upvotes on their comments in order to get better visibility
