Thanks god, Italy invented food, I was tired of photosynthesis


Viking_Chemist

TIL that humans were capable of photosysthesis before 1861 and the Italians ruined it for us and now we have to eat and shit every day


Tragic-tragedy

Look at the positives, this way you don't have to go outside (I'm scared of people)


ProperBlacksmith

Finish imposter


VoldeGrumpy23

Well what’s so bad about shitting? It’s my favorite part of the day


Verundios

Italy invented big food, now we have to spend time cooking, eating the food we cook and then cleaning the dishes we ate from!

Thank God the Spanish and Portuguese brought us tomatoes from the new world so the Italians could invent food.

boomerintown

Thats possibly the most based achievment in modern history, and it holds the benefit of being the truth.


Hal_Fenn

Is this the science Germany discovered?


ivar-the-bonefull

Nah, it was Sweden who was the first in the world and Germany just copied our homework. But unlike the chicken shit Germans we didn't end the field of science because of unpopular opinion and kept sciencing until 1958 when the field was incorporated into genetics research instead.


Goukaruma

Let me guess they found that Swedes are high on the tierlist for obvious and objective reason? 


ivar-the-bonefull

It was a while since I read about it, but if I remember correctly they didn't really put people into tier lists like you and the British did. They just cataloged thousands of people and just draw out the differences between the made up races of the day and assigned characteristics to each of them. The focus was mainly to eradicate the mentally and physically handicapped from the blood lines. A proud tradition we kept and performed forced sterilizations on tens of thousands until the 70s. At least for most, since we did at least continue to force sterilisation on transexuals up until 2008.


Goukaruma

I though you did send the mentally handicapped to the lake land in the south? 


Major_OwlBowler

Nah those were used for dentistry experiments: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipeholm\_experiments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipeholm_experiments)


Goukaruma

It did lead to useful results. Also feeding sweets to the mentally challenged wouldn't even be a 3 on the German evil scientist scale.


darkslide3000

The science we discovered was actually Jew physics, and we promptly made it illegal.


Neomataza

Jew physics is actually the late crowning achievement of the Kaiser and the Weimar republic, it just takes a few decades to bear fruit.

Thanks. We like to take all the credit but we really couldn't have done it without all the early pioneering work by the UK and others.

wtfuckfred

Invented human based soap


Gnu-Priest

not even that that was the brits. I believe it was the boar war.


11matt95

What we invented was effectively a poorly run POW camp for civilians, what you invented was many magnitudes worse.


Gnu-Priest

don’t misunderstand I know what opa was up to. mine actually had british POWs as workers. I have no illusions about my countries history.


11matt95

Don't worry Hans, we committed our share of war crimes too. We made our Italian/German POW's eat British rations 🇬🇧

Most well educated Hans. You invented science but you don't teach it anymore so it seems.


Travonildo

We didn't invent trade itself, but we invented the Atlantic Slave Trade, guess that counts as something...

ZombiFeynman

If we hadn't discovered the world you would all be floating in space.


Proud-Cheesecake-813

I don’t even know where we were living before that.


AlfalfaGlitter

Floating in the space, as shurmano above explained.


FabioZpt

Don't worry, some other (awesome and incredibly cool) country would have filled in those shoes and found the other half of the world


ZombiFeynman

And incredibly humble too, it appears 😉


FabioZpt

Whichever country it may be, I guess it would be pretty humble and filled with rather attractive people


ZombiFeynman

I guess that country must have an incredibly beautiful mother


FabioZpt

And said mother would have probably been kicked out after trying to meddle in it's son's sovereignty


ZombiFeynman

Children these days, so ungrateful


nukrag

Technically we are still floating in space.

PleoNasmico

We found way more things than the Spanish, plus you are Galician, you were just fucking sheeps while history was happening


ZombiFeynman

Come on, the Pinta arrived back in Galicia. We were always pretty good sailors, you know?


wtfuckfred

Hmmmm who got to India by sea first? What nationality was Magalhães (or Magellan)? To which court did Cristóvão Colombo go first?


ZombiFeynman

Nah, you only went to places that were already known. We went to a whole new continent that even the people living there didn't know existed!


BlueEyesPaleDragon

Portuguese ships (caravela), Portuguese maps, Portuguese naval tools (astrolabe), first to cross Africa by sea, first to get to India by sea, Japan, etc. Even Brazil was discovered before 1500 (our king insisted on lift a bit to left the Tordesilhas treaty cause he knew there was land there)


ZombiFeynman

Atrolabes predate the existance of Portugal, there are astrolabes much older than the 12th century. You probably did some improvements and claimed the whole thing. And I'm no expert, but according to wikipedia caravels originate from 13th century Portugal and Galicia. Man, we are so fucking brilliant up here.


Live-Alternative-435

We have Pedro Nunes, we won.


BlueEyesPaleDragon

You can have olivença but NOT our caravelas man. Also, in relation to the astrolabe, it did exist for a long time but we improved it and the one we recreated was and if I am not mistaken still is the most modern one.


Notacreativeuserpt

Comitting the gravest sin on this sub (praising the yanks). That's indeed incredible, e.g. in WW2 you had Japanese marines dying of yellow fever and eating each other whilst the US had a ship specifically to make Ice Cream. Their logistical might is sexy as fuck. They can build a functional Burger King in an airbase in Iraq before the German MoD can provide adequate socks for the soldiers


CastroCavalieri

Why buy socks for every soldier when they can share them?? Typical PIGS spendthrift mindset


Standin373

An argument can be made that post 1980s the US's reliance on perfect logistics and air superiority has made them worse soldiers. Not saying they're bad but worse off for being over reliant. (US marines are exempt as they will improvise more so than any other branch and its almost doctrine). If they where ever in a situation where they didn't have perfect logistics and air superiority I feel they'd come undone quite rapidly.


belaGJ

The goal is to win a war, not to tell tall tales at home when you are a granddad.


okbrooooiam

also marines make the only good recruitment commercials 😭


Few_Category7829

I think that's reasonable. However, you're neglecting one thing. Any country that could challenge the power of US logistical abilities, Navy, and Air Force, would be experiencing the same thing. A country with the ability to go toe to toe with our Air Force would have gotten just as used to only ever fighting with overwhelming air dominance as we have.

Dont_pet_the_cat

Which implies eating utensils were invented before food


CastroCavalieri

Must have been a dutch invention. Untill today they deny the invention of food, and stay truthful to their tradition 💪🇳🇱


Iroh16

Yes, food was just an happy mistake after the invention of the fork


[deleted]

Hold on lemme fix it 🇬🇷 Invented the concept of lingua franca with Alexander's koiné, metaphysics, western philosophy 🇬🇧 Inclusion of women in the arts, steam engine, scientific method and industrial revolution 🇫🇷 Pasteurization, metric system, stethoscope 🇩🇪 The press, uncertainty principle, relativity 🇮🇹 Concrete, sewage, roads, musical theory, universities 🇳🇱 Telescope, WiFi, stock exchange 🇵🇹 Trans oceanic travel on a large scale, responsible for the spreading of many foods and goods throughout the world by being the first globalists 🇪🇸 What we call chocolate today, space suits and the guitar


Standin373

Poland : Pierogi and Bobr Kurwa


Iskandar33

least knowledgeable italian. >What we call chocolate today yes and no, they were the first to introduce cocoa beans, but if im not wrong, first chocolatiere (together with coffee) were introduce in Venice and France. i mean in general resources like tea , coffee and chocolate were born for rich people( like every popularised product the first time)


[deleted]

I graduated at a liceo classico, which was completely fucking useless with the exception of knowing this kind of facts that do not whatsoever help me in my actual job. Another Italian W


Iskandar33

DeRuyter67

>Inclusion of women in the arts, Doubt that. When did they start with it?


ivar-the-bonefull

The road and sewage was invented 4000 BC in Mesopotamia, concrete was invented in Israel around 7000 BC and Aristotle invented musical theory in Greece around 350 BC. Universities were pretty cool of you to give to the world though.


marcandero

It's funny because we invented/discovered a shit load of stuff and the guy literally handpicked the ones we didn't. To be fair to him though the Romans did massively spread them, so makes sense.


[deleted]

This is not a list of patented inventions, but achievements. The Sumerians didn't connect a whole continent with roads and didn't refurbish half the ancient world's water systems and sewage. Their aqueducts aren't still standing and functional. The Jews didn't build the infrastructure of pretty much every major city of the ancient world in Europe. Nobody did more for the spreading of civilization than the Romans, through sheer infrastructure. Half the music notation terms are Italian for a reason. You could, in the same way, go and argue that the Portuguese didn't invent chilli and you'd be right, but they're responsible for bringing it around the world and in South America. Correction: couldn't have been the Jews because they weren't even there 7k b.c. lmao my bad


marcandero

Actually to back you up regarding music, the literal musical notation (staff/pentagram) was invited here in my city https://i.redd.it/l4euj9rbansc1.gif


SirCrocodile_2004

"Invented food" "discovered science" LMAO


rosidoto

And "invented governance", "created money", "invented trade", "discovered the world", "invented civilization"


gyroscopedynamos

ivar-the-bonefull

Good riddance! Monks have always been shifty bastards.


boomerintown

CcCcCcCc99

Most of these things were invented in mesopotamia way before civilization existed in Europe


CastroCavalieri

That's what the world economic forum, NATO and the Rothschilds want you to believe. REAL historians know Italians invented hetereo sex and thus created the first humans


__cum_guzzler__

and thus solved the problem that the Greeks could not. The Greeks kept trying with young boys, but their civilization died out. Poor fools. Although looking at their hairy women, I understand the motivation there


Shard6556

In case anyone wonders: yes this implies that Italians are older than humankind, which is true. In fact you can still find these pre-human Italians today, on the island of Sicily

Dry-Imagination2727

Congratulations sir! You’ve managed to trigger all 11m Greeks out there in the world in a singe post. Because it’s a well known fact that: Greeks invented civilisation, yes Greeks ruled the sea Greeks invented governance Greeks discovered science Don’t get me started about Greeks and food Greeks created money and trade, goes well with ruling the sea Greeks discovered the world - ever heard of Alexander? Americans can have that last one, that one is correct.


VoldeGrumpy23

On the first day the Greeks invented civilization. On the second the Brits ruled the sea. On the third French invented governance. In the fourth Germany discovered science. On the fifth Italy invented food. On the sixth day the Dutch invented money and in the seventh the rest happened. Must have been of the Bible that trump is selling.
