On YouTube, multiple content creators thrive on manipulating history to create digestible stories that justify their preexisting political biases. Whatifalthist is one of these YouTubers. As suggested in the r/badhistory post discussing his depiction of Africa, Whatifalthist is no stranger to making historically inaccurate statements illustrating his misconceptions on the world and willingness to act on that rather than the facts. This post will discuss his video on “How Does Latin America Work”, critique the conclusions he makes as well as reflect on how Whatifalthist contributes to the perpetuation of badhistory on the internet. I will not be covering his analysis on the present-day conditions of Latin America.

Whatifalthist commences the video with a discussion on whether he considers Latin America part of Western civilization. During his monologue, he shows this map that describes “Western Civilization Variations” according to the creator. For me, this map is a rather concise introduction on the issues prevalent throughout this video. To start, the creator does not fully explain the choices he makes with assigning regions to “Latin America”, “The West” nor “Orthodoxy”. He does not elaborate on why significant areas of both Australia and Canada are not considered “The West” for example. There are regions like several of the Canadian Arctic islands and the southern tip of South America that are colored red but have no label. Also, the choices he does make on mapping these “variations” are both incongruent as well as misleading. Muslim majority nations Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina are labelled “Orthodoxy”; certain regions of the United States with historically significant Latin American influence like Miami and the Rio Grande Valley are labelled “Latin America” but other regions with long-term Latin American influence like Los Angeles and San Antonio are not. For a section of his video dedicated to explaining his decisions, he neglects to concretely explain most of choices, leaving it to the viewer to attempt to reconcile the inconsistencies and inaccuracies in his

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun im having so much fun. I just used my scav to hit interchange to see if there was some GAS laying around and you know what? i spawn in rasmussen (tech store) and I FIND 2 FRICKIN GAS ANALYZERS!??! Im sweating, i'm thinking this is it, this is my moment this is what i have been waiting for... I met a scav on the way to the extract and told him im up to no funny business other than getting the heck out of the raid, i didnt tell him about the gas analyzers in my backpack because i was scared he would thrust Magnum 8.5 up my bum bum. We get to the railway extract and about 5 seconds before we extract we both get hit by impact grenade
