Monks did most of the writing and artwork.
Monks main diet was brassicas.
They grew their own food.
Do the math, it’s wish fulfillment

I think you’re really on to something here, if you don’t work in history or something, you should run this by a historian or scholar and see what they think
That’s my guess too. Snail plague there heart to be evidence of it somewhere. Also when did escargot become popular?
Brassica, it is ALWAY brassica.
The exact same thing will happen hundreds of years from now with amogus memes and

Took me a bit to work it out but it’s :.|:; with a strike through. Bloody genius haha

Is this loss
Omg, I instantly knew what it meant and assumed the poster said it was loss even though he didn’t.
Yes, this is loss
Omg, I instantly knew what it meant and assumed the poster said it was loss even though he didn’t. I translate loss references into the word "loss’ like it’s a fucking hieroglyph. I bet it would be the same with amogus drawings.
…Is loss a Unicode character now??

Cool! I never thought of that!
The ones with the rabbits are pretty messed up as well!
Ahhh…this explains the rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
That movie is shockingly historically accurate.
Imagine getting beaten with a stick by a rabbit as his friend robs you, while your friend draws it for historical archive.
He’s not robbing the guy, he’s peeling the skin off his foot(!)
he’s peeling the skin off his foot
To which he has no ownership of, so he is still robbing him, just not for material objects.
Hmm, any connection to the “lucky rabbit’s foot” thing, or is tgat a modern invention ?
Ooh, that’s a good point!
Origins apparently go back to 600 BC:

Oh that’s much better.
“Did you get a good look at the suspects?”
“Not really. But fortunately my manuscript illustrator was there.”
So they fuck the rabbits and fight the snails?
Not friends of the gentle racing snails? How sad…
Imagine future civilization digging out some of today’s memes…
Well, do you see any giant snails around? No? Then thank those knights
Sounds like an ecological disaster to me, so no thanks to them.
“Lisa… I’m going to buy your knight”
Honestly, it would be amazing if the answer was that large mollusks actually existed and were poorly documented.
And just like… Disintegrated instead of fossilizing
I’m not an expert by ANY means, but I think there needs to be strict conditions to make fossils. I think most bones just eventually turn to dust
That’s true although I would also hypothesize that giant mollusks would likely fall into a biome that has these conditions.
That said, I could see body of a slug not really getting fossilized. The shell probably would be, but maybe not depending on circumstances.
The bodies yes, the shells I imagine were fashioned into exceptional armor locked in ancient vaults.
Because they probably had a great sense of humour, comedy clubs and memes back then too, but hey let’s ignore that for just a moment to imagine how hardcore a knight you would have to be to fight off Cthulhu snails

This dude got payed to post this Ai article on christmas eve
I think we know the real answer.
Humanity was ruled by giant snails and their hyper intelligent queen, and it was only through the bravery of these fine knights were our shackles cast off and the mollusk menace thrown down.
And, in great effort to hide our collective shame, all knowledge about this was intentionally purged, Save for a few manuscripts who managed to be overlooked or were kept in hiding, so hints of humanities true history would be known.
And now we listen to the snails in our ears.
Hail Mollusca! Slime will prevail!
Was this event also when we as a species managed to free ourselves of our Slurm™ addiction?
God, is this what the American education system has come to?
Slurm was made by worms that had a physical appearance akin to slugs.
Neither of which are snails!
learn your history! and biology!
i mean, you joke, but the rest of us are pretty sure that Futurama is the american education system at this point
Can’t be. To many smart people and woke liberal agendas like strong women and the existence of brown people.
Oh dear. I read that as ‘fisting’ at first.

…yes, I know. Yes, we’re technically the “A.S.S.H.A.T.S.”… Yes very funny, okay, have your moment… It’s a secret society okay, so it doesn’t actually even come up, nobody will know, it’s fine… IT’S FINE.
A few hundred years from now, historians are going to be equally confused by the horse-sized duck images …
And why there are so many pictures of bananas next to things.
"We hypothesize that the bananas of the 21st century were a different type, one that grew in a wider range of climates. We’re not certain why this breed seem to have randomly fallen from the trees so often, but perhaps it helps explain all these other drawings of inattentive humans slipping on random banana peels as well. … "
There going to have to sift through so much porn.
Porn will train the next-gen AIs and, since AI cannot tell the difference, in the future 90% (-99%?) of all language will be based on porn, just as (looking back with 20/20 hindsight) the proportion of the current internet would imply must have been true of today’s culture.
“Yes spank me harder daddy” will come to mean “I would like a promotion in my place of employment, so that I can take on exciting new challenges in this fast-paced, team environment”:-)
Ofc, “help me stepbro, I am stuck” will still mean the same thing as it always has.
spoiler
the joke here is that the change in meaning has already occurred
Future generations are going to be so confused… :-P So exactly as we are now, I guess? :-D
Well Dodo’s were big ass duck like birds, though not as near as big as a horse. Weird thing, they haven’t been extinct that long.
I mean, I would guess dragons were a thing because of dinosaur skulls being found a long time ago. There were also giant dinosaur mollusk shells, so maybe this is the equivalent?
It’s fun to draw. Mine were cowboys fighting snails.
Did they also take that challenge with the immortal snail?
Plot twist: its actually the same person making the snail memes today, yet to be caught and looking for new ways to stay one step ahead of the snail
