During 1672, which the Dutch refer to as the disaster year, France and England attacked the Republic in the Franco-Dutch War. De Witt was severely wounded by a knife-wielding assassin on 21 June. He resigned as Grand Pensionary on 4 August, but this was not enough for his enemies.

His brother Cornelis (who was deputy-in-the-field for de Ruyter at the Raid on the Medway), particularly hated by the Orangists, was arrested on trumped-up charges of treason. He was tortured (as was usual under Roman-Dutch law, which required a confession before a conviction was possible) but refused to confess.

Nevertheless, he was sentenced to exile. When his brother went over to the jail (which was only a few steps from his house) to help him get started on his journey, both were attacked by members of The Hague's civic militia.

The brothers were shot and then left to the mob. Their naked, mutilated bodies were strung up on the nearby public gibbet, while the Orangist mob ate their roasted livers in a cannibalistic frenzy. Throughout it all, a remarkable discipline was maintained by the mob, according to contemporary observers, lending doubt as to the spontaneity of the event.

I learned that art museums can be cool, I just don’t like abstract art lol.

 

[CrimsonGenius]

That people are thirsty for models who promoting dresses on YouTube. The dudes get hung up on one girl and make lewd comments. When she does not appear often, they get aghast.

1) How people know about users birthday easily (beside checking all users one by one)

There is a subsection on the left called : "Today's birthdays"
in "Members" section

2) (Context)
During my ban, there was AC trailer, so BADLY "something", that it shut the mouths of the defenders/spectator-players. EVEN THEY couldn't defend the trailer, that it wasn't "something".

What i learned :

Assassin creed shadows, did something never done before.
It banded CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, together.

which are the old logics (already known) :

The enemy of my enemy is my ally

A external big enemy is often the best solution to internal fighting

I learned that "ghosts" are possibly not just ghosts, they could be future time travelers trying to communicate with us in most visited places like haunted houses, asylums, and abandoned places all on a certain date because that's possibly when it was rumored to be most haunted.
so like when we think it's a ghost talking to us through a spirit box or touching things that can only go off when touched, it could just be a time traveler. (Some parts of this might not make sense and there are so many other things that come into play with it but it makes sense in my head)

Another interesting thing I never seemed to notice before, but ghosts/shadows/demons or whatever the thing is, they always tend to be darker than the dark itself

Sorry...I watch way too much horror and Sam and Colby...

I learned that Shirley Temple received 130,000 gifts for her 8th birthday.

They included: A calf from oregon and a Baby Kangaroo from Australia.

That "pipe cleaners" clean smoking pipes.

Born in the city in '96, I've never known anybody that smoked a pipe and never questioned where the name came from and simply knew them for their use in arts and crafts.

I learned that time is the ultimate key to wisdom.
(get ready for some philosophy, peeps)
Think about it. Wisdom is learning from your past mistakes and basing that knowledge on what you do currently, as well has having knowledge, right? We gain knowledge over time.
Except, I also learned that some people don't "have the time" to gain knowledge. i.e., people with busy lives or busy jobs. Their life, their job, takes up so much time and importance that they don't have the time to reflect on mistakes or knowledge that they have gained that day. However, I am NOT saying that having a busy job is a bad thing, just that sometimes people need to settle down and think.
But consider elderly, retired people. We often view them as wise, because of their experience and the knowledge they have gained over their lifetime. But also, retired people have all the time in the world to gain knowledge and wisdom, because they are not limited by jobs and events.
Just going to put this out there for those who want to read it. :)

Today I learned that while lizard people theory might not be true, crabs might be the next best thing to that.

Also, that some cultures oddly believed that vampires were weirdly into counting stuff. Thus, they claimed if you were ever being chased by a vampire, you could just throw some rice at it, which should stop the vampire, then it will count each rice grain for some reason. Count Dracula has “Count” in his name too, maybe that's a clever word-play. Or maybe that's just his noble title and I'm overthinking this.

I was listening to a sermon on Isaiah and one of the things that brought judgement on Israel was consolidation of land. People were buying up land and and increasing their wealth. God saw this as bad because it got certain people rich at the expense of others. In an agrarian society excluding people from having land to farm or ranch was really cruel, enough so to judge a whole nation.

I didn't think that the bible talked about anti-trust, but it actually does condemn it. So that is what I learned today.

Sadly
lot of people, despite having the key
dont use it.

"What humans learned from history, is that they never learn"

Also in china, lot of old men, do car accident scam.

"Its not that old men turned bad, but villains became old"

And "efficiency" is also important.
Tiktok/socials time cause brainrot, compared to reading books.
