Howdy fellow badhistorians! Every time someone mentions our sub, we get a notification, and we compile the best posts (or worst, depending on how you look at it) for your enjoyment. This month didn't get as many posts as we often do, but we did get some that made us raise our eyebrows so high they might have left our faces entirely. Unfortunately for us, some of the best ones were removed by moderators, so our list is even shorter this month, but there are a few gems nonetheless. Enjoy!

First up, this tweet insists that Stanford historians just regurgitate nazi propaganda. Debates about the Holodomor aside, I'm not sure what "actual genocide perpetuated by Ukrainian fascists" they're talking about.

In my spare time, I'm going to start writing a theme song for the Baltic Greeks, because they just show up in the strangest places.

Next, capitalism, communism, nazism, and a lot of bad history duke it out in this whole thread. I can't actually pick the wildest comment, because they're all insane.

Either every Muslim ever chose to live in the Bronze Age and can thank the West for everything, or this guy is just spectacularly Islamophobic and racist. I wonder which it could be?

This isn't actually badhistory so much as a debunk, but it's really well written and about the differences between chattel slavery and the Arabic slave trade. Worth the read.

Did you know there's a magical number of subscribers on youtube that makes you credible? Apparently that number is 182,000, because that's how many TIK has, and that makes him credible.

As most of you will recall, u/RegularCockroach did an amazing takedown of Whatifalthist's pre-colonial Africa map. These guys apparently did not read that post, because they posted Whatifalthist's map unironically, as evidence for why Africa needed colonialism. Yikes.

And finally, this really galaxy brain level video that I can't even figure out how to describe. Enjoy.

In terms of direct thread mentions, Mother Theresa shot back to the top of the packing with a whopping 23 different threads. If you count duplicates, we actually got 44 notifications. In second place, debunking Shaun's take on the atomic bomb got 4 mentions. And finally, myths about the Khmer Rouge had 3 mentions. All in all, 17 unique posts were directly linked outside of the sub. That's all for this month, and we'll see you again for May!
