Internet Rabbit Hole thread

[HHJ]

When I have free time, I like to look into things, how humans first discovered how to do things.

At some point it became about exploration, and I found out about alot of cool shit.

So I figured in this thread we could talk about random shit that is interesting that you dont wanna make a whole thread about.

So anyway, exploration right. I was studying the Antarctic, polar exploration.

Apparently someone had found the North Pole already, so there was a race between the Norwegians and the English to find the South Pole first.

The Englishmen didnt know until late in the game that they were up against Raold Amundsen, the Fedor of Polar Exploration

Anyway the English expedition arrive at the South Pole...only to find out the Norwegians had beaten them there by THREE WEEKS.


That had to kill their spirits because it was extremely hard to get there, and you can see in this picture that these men are in bad shape, and dont even have it in them to smile.

"Every day we have been ready to start for our depot 11 miles away, but outside the door of the tent it remains a scene of whirling drift. I do not think we can hope for any better things now. We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker, of course, and the end cannot be far. It seems a pity but I do not think I can write more. R. Scott. Last entry. For God's sake look after our people."


All these men died on the way back from the South Pole.

Amundsen of course went on to more glory, but eventually vanished while flying on a rescue mission off the coast of Norway.

What YOU got?

This guy's channel popped up on my feed and I just been hooked. It's so satisfying to watch him pop lionfish in the head with his spear gun. I learned a lot as well.

I didn't realize how much a problem lionfish have become in the Americas, Caribbean, South America, and now even the Mediterranean. Unlike in the Indian ocean and southeast asia where they're native to, lionfish in the Americas are able to exploit the defensive behaviors of the smaller fish they prey on and the animals that would be their predators don't see them as prey. It's up to spear fishers to cull their population but it's likely impossible to completely get rid of them.

Fortunately, they're so used to being invincible due to their venomous spines that their only defense is puff up their spines and just sit there to be easy targets. Also they are apparently delicious and you don't have to worry about their venom as long as you remove the spines/cook them. I would love to spearfish some on my own and eat them. I saw another video of Colombians making lionfish ceviche and it looks delicious.

I remember seeing these in an aquarium as a kid and being facinated that it was a dangerous venomous fish.

The last rabbit hole I went down led me here. Suggesting ice age animals, cavemen, and dinosaurs may still exist in remote parts of Canada.

The internet is aiding my rabbit hole cult addiction with books being I've pretty much watched all of the documentaries.

The rabbit hole stems from investigators I look up which lead me to other investigators and former members of the cults.

This rabbit hole has actually ended up with a Sherbro's sister watching cult stuff I've got into.

Kyle Hill's videos on nuclear radiation are excellent. He does a fantastic job of explaining things in layman's terms.

De expugnatione Lyxbonensi ('On the Conquest of Lisbon') is an eyewitness account of the Siege of Lisbon at the start of the Second Crusade, and covers the expedition from the departure of the English contingent on 23 May 1147 until the fall of Lisbon on 28 June 1148.

It was written in Latin by one Raol, an Anglo-Fleming and probably a chaplain of Hervey de Glanvill in the army from East Anglia.It is an important source for the organisation of the crusade, especially among the middle ranks of society.

An English translation by Charles Wendell David appeared in 1936 and was reprinted in 2001.

"They ran hither and yon. They plundered. They broke down doors. They rummaged through the interior of every house. They drove the citizens away and harassed them improperly and unjustly. They destroyed clothes and utensils. They treated virgins shamefully. They acted as if right and wrong were the same. They secretly took away everything which should have been common property. They even cut the throat of the elderly Bishop of the city, slaying him against all right and justice. … The Normans and the English, however, for whom faith and religion were of the greatest importance, contemplating what such actions might lead to, remained quietly in their assigned position, preferring to stay their hands from looting rather than to violate the obligations of their faith and their oathbound association."

Here is the PDF for all y'all history buffs

Good shit. Check out the silent film The Great White Silence about the Terra Nova Expedition. Phenomenal footage that's only enhanced by the silent format.

Urbain Grandier (1590 – 18 August 1634) was a French Catholic priest who was burned at the stake after being convicted of witchcraft, following the events of the so-called "Loudun possessions". Most modern commentators have concluded that Grandier was the victim of a politically motivated persecution led by the powerful Cardinal Richelieu.

The circumstances of Father Grandier's trial and execution have attracted the attention of writers Alexandre Dumas père, Eyvind Johnson, Aldous Huxley and the playwright John Whiting, filmmaker Ken Russell, composers like Krzysztof Penderecki and Peter Maxwell Davies, as well as historian Jules Michelet and various scholars of European witchcraft.

One of the documents introduced as evidence during Grandier's second trial is a diabolical pact written in Latin and apparently signed by Grandier. Another, which looks illegible, is written backwards, in Latin with scribal abbreviation, and has since been published and translated in a number of books on witchcraft. This document also carries many strange symbols, and was signed by several demons including Satan himself.

We, the influential Lucifer, the young Satan, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Elimi,
and Astaroth, together with others, have today accepted the covenant pact
of Urbain Grandier, who is ours. And him do we promise
the love of women, the flower of virgins, the respect of monarchs, honours, lusts and powers.
He will go whoring three days long; the carousal will be dear to him. He offers us once
in the year a seal of blood, under the feet, he will trample the holy things of the church and
he will ask us many questions; with this pact, he will live twenty years happy
on the earth of men, and will later join us to sin against God.
Bound in Hell, in the council of demons.
Lucifer Beelzebub Satan
Astaroth Leviathan Elimi
The seals placed the Devil, the master, and the demons, princes of the lord.
Baalberith, writer.

There is an AWESOME totally NSFW movie based on this story
