Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
Fucking savage.
Alexander the Great was captured by pirates too. He forced them to increase his ransom because he was insulted that it was so small, and spent much of his time forcing them to listen to the poetry he wrote. Which is also hilarious IMO.
Nope, that was Julius Caesar. Who also told the pirates that he would return and crucify every one of them. After his release, he assembled a posse, went to the city he'd been captured in - where the dumb pirates had returned to - captured them all and turned them over to authorities.
When the authorities were not taking swift enough action, Caesar demanded the pirates be remanded to his custody, and because of his sociopolitical clout, they were - and summarily crucified.
It's suspicious that you had that ready to go, ngl
I didn't, actually, took like 10 seconds on Google tho
Ave, true to Caesar.
Oh. I always get those two mixed up.
Still hilarious
Greek philosophers had no chill apparently
Goddamn. Is there a list of Diogenes quotes? I've heard a couple but this one was new to me.
My favorite is when he got caught masturbating in public and responded with "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly." Or when Plato was teaching a class and defined a man as a featherless biped, and Diogenes brought a plucked chicken to the class and said "Behold, Plato's man!"
