Everyone has something they can’t stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it’s hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!
Tolkien Lore. And WWI.
Are you familliar with the imgurian Ngugi? I could read that stuff for hours on end.
… not the same as proper discussions with likeminded people, but still super interesting IMHO.
Tolkien Lore Quick Fact:
Technically speaking Aragorn married his first cousin 65+ times removed.
WWI Quick Fact:
While thought of as a defensive struggle that lead to stalemates, generals at the time weren’t necessarily wrong to keep up the attack. Both sides were able to capture ground. Including enemy trenches. The issue was that neither side could bring reinforcements or supplies up to support those breakthroughs and keep the offensive going faster than the defenders could.
Another interesting fact about WWI: There was a lot more movement than people tend to envision, especially during the first months of the war on the Western front.
WWI is also a hot bed of really interesting and weird firearms development. They tried some wacky stuff around that time.
Okay, now I must ask - do you have more Tolkien Lore incest facts to share? Because I certainly didn’t expect that one!
