Are lace-makers ever struck by the realisation that all the holes were already there before they started?

Due to the craftsmanship shown in this picture, the emperor has requested that you make all of his clothes out of that exact lace.

THREE WEED SMOKING GIRLFRIENDS, THE MOVIE

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

The first attested cat in Japan was given to a young 9th century emperor and his diary about it includes such gems as 'I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.", "The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink.", "When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk." and "I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.” Basically posting about how his void is the best little void and so good at getting really round

I genuinely cannot think of any other occasion in which an imperialist power was forced to pay war reparations to a state that isn’t a fellow imperialist power
