Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.

There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Have some home cooked Passover memes!

Descriptions are in the alt text!

Explanations for non-Jews here:

Meme #1: In the beginning of the story, Pharaoh kills the male Hebrew babies by throwing them in the Nile. However, many scholars have pointed out that it would have been more effective to kill the women and not the men, especially since the men were used for labor.

Meme #2: Moses asks Pharaoh to "let my people go!"

Meme #3: Pharaoh refuses to release the Hebrew slaves.

Meme #4: Pharaoh kept agreeing to let the Jews worship in the wilderness (which they would have used to escape), but repeatedly changed his mind at the last minute.

Meme #5: as above

Meme #6: in Exodus, the word used for frog is singular. So although the plague is frogs and probably referred to massive amounts of frogs leaving the Nile, there's an argument that it was a single, giant frog. A Godzilla/Kaiju frog.

Meme #7: Pharaoh refused to allow Jews to leave for the first nine plagues. He relented after the ten plague, the death of all Egyptian firstborns, including the animals.

Meme #8: Hashem, literally "the name," is a title for G_d. Traditionally, Jews don't write out the actual name of G_d because it's disrespectful. G_d protected the Jews from Pharaoh.

Meme #9: after Jews escaped to the desert, Moses went up a mountain to talk to G_d for forty days, during which he received the Torah. The Jews left behind were worried that G_d had forgotten them, and built a golden calf to worship. G_d was pissed and forced Jews to remain in the desert for 40 years.

Meme #10: The song "The Plagues" from the movie Prince of Egypt is incredibly catchy and will get stuck in your head

professors who have only interacted with other academics for years: “what do you MEAN you don’t know multi-variable calculus yet??”

professors with small kids: “thank you for not putting the lab equipment in your mouths when I turn my back”

We don’t bully Sauron enough for being such a FUCKING instagram villain that he’d only ever steal black horses from the Rohirrim, like he really in canon passed over herds of perfectly good load-bearing horses just for aesthetic fidelity
