Dumplings in Europe date from the Middle Ages and they very well could have come from China by way of intermediaries. I don't know the history of the other dishes on the map. But there was a lot of intercultural contact in the Middle Ages and the Mongol Empire was in general a key part of that.

My high school civics teacher struggled to explain this for an entire semester and this guy nails it under an hour @premodernist.bsky.social

Yes, that's right. I only ever heard "nitch." The pronunciation "neesh" was considered British. It doesn't surprise me that Canadians also said it that way; Canadian English can be a bit of a mix between the two. I remember being surprised at the way Robert MacNeil pronounced "Renaissance."

Six seven!

This 4K, 8K terminology is confusing. Why can't we call them 2160p and 4320p?

"Potentially inappropriate"
This one might be a sleeper. I wonder if it doesn't appeal to your core audience so it'll take a little while for the algorithm to figure out who to show it to. There's definitely a market for a video like this.
Thanks for including me!
The Italians may have invented pizza, but the Canadians perfected it.

Saw this in a 1901 magazine and for a moment thought it was AI.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were in their 30s when they made Raiders of the Lost Ark. If it were made today, it would be created by two millennials and take place in 1980.
Nice! Videotape on a tube TV looks amazing.
...if Cracker Barrel even exists a decade from now
Stomp Clap Hey was good, actually
Pluto had it coming.
I see what's happening here. You're just playing hard to get.
It's a great video. Maybe it's a matter of packaging.
It's hard to believe Jedi Party came out 12 years ago.
