-this error in historical accuracy would have been forced upon millions of lemmy users.
So, as a result of their firm belief that all showerthoughts must be historically accurate and factually correct, as mentioned, it will be removed.

The consequences would be devastating.


Look I’m sorry, i wasn’t meaning to upset you with my original comment. But I also wasn’t the only person to call out the inaccuracies.
I’m not in the least bit upset. I just didn’t know a whimsical thought would end up under such scrutiny- and then used as an example to serve to anyone else foolish enough to believe it.
You got me there, guy! Under the right teacher, most mistakes are only made only once. 😀
