2019-01-24 19:39:32 UTC  

One poxy boye *

2019-01-24 19:40:16 UTC  

had they invented modern medicine they wouldn't have died tho, they asked for it 👌

2019-01-24 19:40:28 UTC  

They didn't intend to bring disease, it just happened, the same way other diseases went the other way. It just so happened one side got the worse end of that deal

2019-01-24 19:40:44 UTC  

Are you sure they didnt

2019-01-24 19:40:50 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-24 19:40:59 UTC  

Because im pretty sure it was intentional

2019-01-24 19:41:05 UTC  

They didn't even know the continent existed, how would it have been intentional?

2019-01-24 19:41:11 UTC  

exactly

2019-01-24 19:41:12 UTC  

@Swedishmafia101 actually wait. There is a channel called red elephants. Maybe it was them

2019-01-24 19:41:37 UTC  

he's another good one

2019-01-24 19:42:04 UTC  

they didn't even understand how diseases worked completely. Not like they loaded up on diseases for biological warfare in case they encountered someone. Hell they were looking for India, not America

2019-01-24 19:42:35 UTC  

They knew smollpox was a thing

2019-01-24 19:42:46 UTC  

They didn't know America was a thing

2019-01-24 19:42:52 UTC  

yeah but they didn't know how microbes and transmission worked

2019-01-24 19:42:58 UTC  

germ theory wasn't a thing

2019-01-24 19:43:04 UTC  

hmmm

2019-01-24 19:43:12 UTC  

Sanitation didn't exist

2019-01-24 19:43:17 UTC  

That's why the black death was so bad, they didn't know how diseases worked

2019-01-24 19:43:29 UTC  

They knew it was a thing, yes, but the fact that the natives of the Americas had 0 resistance to it wasn't a thing

2019-01-24 19:43:34 UTC  

heck, did they even know what caused and how to prevent scurvy ?

2019-01-24 19:43:57 UTC  

Some of them did

2019-01-24 19:44:01 UTC  

Scurvy was first "cured" in 1497 apparently

2019-01-24 19:44:04 UTC  

The vikings did

2019-01-24 19:44:17 UTC  

They figured out Scurvy eventually, hence why the British were called Limeys, becayse they used limes for Vit C

2019-01-24 19:44:44 UTC  

...that's actually a pretty cool fact, didn't know that

2019-01-24 19:45:18 UTC  

maybe the british being that better at sea than other nations was because of that fact too

2019-01-24 19:45:25 UTC  

I'm full of info that is normally useless but entertaining at certain times 😂

2019-01-24 19:46:12 UTC  

I devour information

2019-01-24 19:46:25 UTC  

Was it autism

2019-01-24 19:46:36 UTC  

O.O

2019-01-24 19:47:03 UTC  

RULE BRITTANIA

2019-01-24 19:47:03 UTC  

Are you ok Maddie? Have you suffered head trauma?

2019-01-24 19:47:09 UTC  

BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVESSSSS

2019-01-24 19:47:12 UTC  

Yes im fine why

2019-01-24 19:47:27 UTC  

because you are making zero sense

2019-01-24 19:47:43 UTC  

😏 if you say so

2019-01-24 19:48:00 UTC  

any rational person would say so

2019-01-24 19:48:03 UTC  

i'm so sorry but you have autism
