so 250$ to fix the sign.

Cheapest billboard rental is more than that.

shit business model

tell that to the byzantines who claimed to be the successors of the Roman empire. don’t think they got the memo

yhea, but they still considered themselves Roman.

the point is that it is impossible to determine when exactly an empire begun or ended.

we could argue for weeks and the Roman empire, and that’s just one of countless empires.

depends how you define Rome, from 753bc and the Byzantine empire lasted all the way to 1453CE. so Rome lasted longer if you count it as the Roman empire.

in b4 someone says that it is an “average”.

that number is made up BS anyways

there’s no average, that number was literally made up for some bs theory of empires.

it isn’t because it’s an “average” it’s literally made it, and it’s impossible to get, as whatever definition of empire will miss so many “empires”.

it’s multiple layers of bs.

if you want to go into statistics, normal average are useless for these things, as many empires last a few years, while others can last thousands. they don’t fall in a normal distribution, you might need a geometric mean.

but also, empire is such a vague term. did the Roman empire fall around the 5 century? or do you count Byzantium as the Roman empire?

Did England start with the Norman invasion? or was it from before and the Normans were just a new dynasty?

it’s something that’s practically impossible to count, what’s an empire? when it started/ended? and on top of that no normal distribution.

it isn’t an average, it’s a literal bs made up number

can’t remember what I was watching, but I accidentally muted it just when a dramatic scene started, and I was so riveted by the scene having no sound at all.

i had to focus only on the scene, and it was so suspenseful, tense, and immersive, thought the director was a genius for taking such risks and it paid off… eventually I noticed it was on mute.

elaborate please
