Dat nero. He gud boi. He didn du nuffin
@Virgil except for the red hair he kind of looks Roman
People make jokes about the size of Charlie Kirk's head, I finally see it. Man, that thing is huge.
Wow burning women and kids alive is so honorable
don't forget the two dogs they shot
those were _very_ credible dangers
Never forget
The bravery of those domestic terrorists
@Jordan - MD....I dunno, I've never met an Italian who would be caught dead sporting a chinstrap beard and a bowlcut/mullet.
Honestly that hair was pretty common
And it probably looked relatively normal on normal looking people
Nero was just pretty ugly
@Perihelion - CA I like the way you think (distributed solutions and whatnot) 😎
@Virgil Tacitus-post incoming: Romans weren't Proto-Italians 😏
Romans had some big honking noses. Change my mind.
It’s probably a myth
LOPF registration closes in less than 24 hours, do it now!
Imagine midgets with giant noses conquering everyone...
How you feel imagining that is how gauls felt
Wait until the manlet rebellion at the conference
@Virgil I could be wrong (I'm admittedly not terribly well-versed), but it's my understanding that, while the Italian language came from Vulgar and Classical Latin, and they obviously inherited Catholicism from the Romans, as a population, the Romans were pretty much genetically wiped out. Is that not the case?
What the hell did the Romans look like?
Apparently they looked like me
No doxx

This will be the intro video played at CPAC. I can think of a few ways we’d improve it
@ExternalPepsi I've heard that they were kind of an Alpine people, with light hair and features. Could be wrong, though.
I’ve heard Roman gene was replaced too. @Bjorn - MD
@Bjorn - MD I believe I read before that the genetics of the Italian penninsula haven't changed in the past 2500 years or so. So the ethnic Italians of today are the same people as the Romans of 2000 years ago, roughly.
Huh. Certainly plausible. I mean, they've always been pretty adjacent to Semitic peoples, whose appearance seems to have remained fairly static over the millennia.
Well, except for the Ashkenazim , Sephardim, and Beta Israel, obviously.
To be fair, the genetic make up of Semitic people has actually changed quite a bit since the Islamic conquests and the Arab Slave Trade and during the time of the Romans, they were more adjacent to pre Islamic Berbers, more so than Semitic people from the Levant/Middle East
You're just determined to anthropology-cuck me all day, aren't you...? 😏
@Virgil: 🤓☝ "ACKshually..."
I love these
@Bjorn - MD I admit I'm a bit of a sperg when it comes to the Romans haha
Lol
