No TO, but approved very quickly. Does involve making a phone call and has short timer, but super worth it!

I was not a fan of the recent TimeGhost episode on the Vikings. I will make a disclaimer and say that I really like their content, in particular the Great War channel and WW2, and listen to them often. When it comes to those channels, there is a deep historical authenticity and I can tell they are well-researched. But alas, their thesis on the Vikings feels misguided, and may fall into the issue of “bad history”. It is not because of what they said, but rather, the lack of what they said in my opinion.
(Secondary Disclaimer: Forgive me for putting a lot of sources based on the English side of things, it was my speciality for this era of history and one I know best.)
First of all, let me address this point: they did a good job on discussing the problems with the term “viking” as there is much debate. From what I have researched, their claim on nobody of the era referring to the Norsemen as “Viking” seems largely correct. In The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle it refers to the Norse as either “Heathen Army” (the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok according to Norse Sagas) or “Danes”. Asser, the chronicler of King Alfred, also refers to them as such. Asser claims to be a contemporary source.
(Though some debate over Asser’s authenticity has arisen. In particular, Alfred Smyth of the University of Kent had claimed that a monk from the 10th century had written it as a forgery. He has been contested by other scholarship such as Simon Kenyes and arguments from historians before him, like Dorothy Whitelock, who argues it is too well-researched to be a forgery. I’m of the historical opinion that it is genuine.)
But besides that point, the main thesis that TimeGhost is presenting seems to be arguing that Vikings were never an ethnicity. I agree with this claim, but mostly because I have failed to see any historians saying the contrary. The problem is how the argument is presented.
From the video’s description: Vikings: Scandinavian a people from Scandinavia, or a bunch of multiethnic seafaring barbarians who pillaged, raped, and conquered their way through more than three centuries of European history? Or maybe they never existed at all?
The last sentence is erroneous. I understand trying to pose a question to debunk cultural misconceptions, but to question whether they never existed is silly. The term is a l

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
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.
