@catsalad When I was a kid I was at a church wedding and needed to pee but couldn't find the toilet, so I went outside and found a quiet spot.
I literally peed on a church.

Pirates never played accordions
️
🪗 (Because they hadn’t been invented yet)
Accordions were invented during the 1800s Industrial Revolution at the same time as the telegraph, steam engine and the typewriter
100 years after the Golden Age of Piracy 1600s–1700s
So every pirate movie with an accordionist is a science fiction movie with a time-travel sub plot
️@AccordionBruce oh please it's a well known fact that the golden age of piracy was the late 1900s

@catsalad You can like both Star Trek and Star Wars. 🤫
@benjamincox @catsalad I never understood that rivalry completely. I feel they are so different. I would equate Dune and Star Wars, more than Star Trek

️@AccordionBruce @catsalad I've got a theory here: accordions, like opsin genes, were invented at least twice, separately. When the golden age of piracy was gone, the memories of accordions were repressed since strongly associated with socially unaccepted piracy-related aggression and violence. Hence, no trace in later history. However, they re-appear in movies as a great example of an archetype in Jungian shared unconsciousness. Anyone recall other social groups playing accordions? I'd like to develop my theory further.

️@AccordionBruce @catsalad It fucks me up knowing that the bodhrán was invented in the 19th century, cus it feels like something that must have been around forever.
Granted it does depend on who you ask, there are people who insist it's ancient, but I think it's a question of how rigorously you define it. Like frame drums are probably older than dirt, but we're talking about a specific type of frame drum.

@AccordionBruce @catsalad I thought the things pirates don't play were concertinas.
@davidr @AccordionBruce @catsalad Concertinas are still 1835 ish. Now, I haven't found anything on the variations of the nearly 4,000-year-old Chinese version. https://concertinamusic.com/timeline/

️@AccordionBruce @catsalad Neal Stephenson made a similar mistake in the Baroque Cycle: a character is killed by being stabbed with the endpin of a cello. Aside from the fact that this wouldn't be very effective structurally (the endpin is not robustly attached), the endpin didn't *exist* before the mid1800s (prior to that, the cello was held tightly between the legs, as the viola da gamba is today). A musician friend of mine wrote to Stephenson about this, (politely) pointing out the error. He told me that he received a reply, which read: "AAAARGH!"

@catsalad What's the difference between Jesus Christ and the Pharaohs?
The Pharaohs had the good sense to put gold in their tombs to distract corpse buggerers.
