Daft_ish,

Believe it or not, entirely edible.

RizzRustbolt,

Why is he sideways?

doctorcrimson,

We thought Mussolini died to the mob this whole time, but no

he died of envy.

Thcdenton,

Look at me. I’m the pope now

antiabed,

The crown of the Holy Roman Empire was not for the pope but for the emperor. The name might be confusing but it’s basically the predecessor of Germany.

Listen Leeroy, I’ve been killing Nazis for 3 months now. How about instead of fact checking my joke you put your big city learning to good use and tell me which of them paintings over there is valuable.

JayDee,

Where’s that crown now?

Furbag,

According to Wikipedia, after the Nazis were defeated in Europe, the crown jewels were returned to Vienna by U.S. forces where they are still on display today in the Imperial Treasury.

Harbinger01173430,

Now that’s one way to wake up Heinrich and his legion of undead

afraid_of_zombies,

Rich people do the weirdest shit. Why would anyone want to wear that?

Kusimulkku,

Display of wealth and power seems to be the obvious answer

MonkderZweite,

People and hats.

As Team Fortress 2 proves

BigPotato,

They didn’t have Bentleys and Private Jets yet.

afraid_of_zombies,

At least luxury cars are comfortable and fun to drive. This thing just looks uncomfortable and ugly with no utility.

I mean I sorta get it. Anyone wearing it is conveying that they can’t do anything practical or even tend to their own needs. Which means they have the resources that free them from it. Induced weakness to display strength.

Point is it still looks uncomfortable.

Jumi,

It’s not about the comfort, it’s about sending a message

afraid_of_zombies,

All you people care about is land and castles, this Holy Roman Empire deserves a better class of Kaiser, and I am going to give it to them.

raynethackery,

He’s got a lot of rings on his left hand.

CptEnder,

Tbf men used to wear jewelry more commonly than now

Kusimulkku,

Rings, watches, what have you

octopus_ink,

In my head there’s an unsavory story involving dead nazis and marking his kill count.

unsavory

involving dead nazis

Sounds pretty wholesome to me, ngl.

JohnDClay,

Does it still exist? When was it made? Very interesting.

It still exists and was made about a thousand years ago

BedSharkPal,

Kinda wish the billionaires of the world would at least bring back crowns. Like the cosplay aspect was one of the few fun parts.

New life goal acquired. Become a billionaire. Construct an absurdly lavish crown of solid gold and precious jewels - so lavish, in fact, that it makes the holy crown of the Roman Empire look as though it’s a paper crown from Burger King (home of the flame-broiled beesechussy). Wear this crown everywhere, every single day, in every public appearance. Set 1 billion aside to maintain your billionaire status, and live only off the interest to afford your Burger King sandwiches. Spend the remainder of your income (billions of it) on charities and other humanitarian causes. Contribute toward paying down or paying off entirely the debts of the poor and the working class. Buy Smuckers just to ensure that their jam continues being delicious and that the capitalists don’t fuck it up like they did Cadbury. Continue to act as a beacon of hope and good-will, but never stop wearing that crown until the day you die.

shalafi,

His .45 is in a tanker holster, so I’m guessing that was his job.

CptEnder,

That or a Monuments Man.

Wearing crowns?

@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Glorious purpose.

Anticorp,

Look at me. I’m the emperor now!

rodolfo,

I understand the war, the pain, the stress and all. But you don’t handle an ancient object like that… You should feel the importance of the thing for all the human people, as an extraordinary artifact… Average extra ignorant USer, moreover a soldier one… Bleah

Agent641,

Fuck that, give it to BigStackD and let him melt it into a brick for fun.

rodolfo,

Would you tell me what would be the difference between someone advocating the destruction of that artifact and taliban discussing the cannoning of Bamiyan’s Buddhas?

thesporkeffect,

Bloody royalists

betterdeadthanreddit,

Waaah, waaah, bad US man touched an object 80 years ago and that makes me sad for some reason. Go get some real problems to be upset about.

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t invest too much in arguing against that person. I remember reading their distinct style of insisting on writing “USer” instead of “American” and I assure you, they are too obnoxious and stubborn to be worth the effort.

rodolfo,

Eh. The president of the US can offend tens of nations with “shithole countries” remark, and I cannot refuse to indicate people from US with a word that should/could address an entire continent’s population? I cannot do it, simple as that

rodolfo,

This is a real problem, as USer still do this kind of things today. And anyway bad mouthing USer is always something good 😉

betterdeadthanreddit,

I’d still rather be from the country that kicked Hitler’s bitch ass than the one whose leader’s lips were stapled to his ballsack until the Germans weren’t winning anymore. Where are your countrymen in that photo?

rodolfo,

Not in frame, not touching historical artifact

betterdeadthanreddit,

Being as relevant as ever then. Go play some soccer or something.

rodolfo,

Exactly, partigiani where extremely relevant.

betterdeadthanreddit,

It’s a fine cheese, Kraft distributes it here but I don’t see what that has to do with anything.

rodolfo,

Well, after all, I’m not that wrong

squid_slime,
@squid_slime@lemmy.world avatar

So the Russians then?

pimento64,

Russia deserves credit for being willing to throw men into a meat grinder while the United States bankrolled her war effort and kept her from getting her shit kicked in by the Wehrmacht. And if you disagree with me, you disagree with Field Marshal Zhukov and are therefore obviously wrong.

@squid_slime@lemmy.world avatar

Lol calm down, Russia do deserve credit they really dealt with a shit show, a lot of them died, the leader ship treated the troops as a meat grinder.

Maybe make less assumption and have a dialogue.

pimento64,

Maybe make less assumption and have a dialogue.

Sure…

Italy, I believe they mean.

Correct.

Nah. I’m fine now

It takes a ridiculous amount of privilege to think that this is even in the same universe as a real problem.

ParsnipWitch,

I wonder if you would write the same if it was an artifact from another culture.

Alto,

I would. It's not like the guy threw it on the ground and stomped on it. And when you're fighting the nazis, honestly I don't give a fuck if you make fun of some inbred douchebags fancy hat. At all.

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

You should tell him that

rodolfo,

Guess he’s dead

robotopera,

I didn’t even know he was sick

rodolfo,

I think it’s age, not illness

AnonTwo,

To be fair morale could not have been that high in one of the worst modern wars in world history...least he didn't destroy it.

rodolfo,

That I get, as I said. And yes, he didn’t destroy it at least

Perhapsjustsniffit,

You should let the British know.
