“the habsburgs weren’t even that inbred” uh yes they were, why is this discourse it’s just a scientific fact

I listened to a podcast episode about the Habsburgs, and the guest expert said that Charles II’s DNA reads as being a product of two parents who are closer than brother and sister.

“Eight generations should contain 254 different ancestors. Charles II’s has 82. This is what we might refer to as ‘suboptimal.’”

HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND THE BEST FUCKING HOUSE EVER. I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY SOMEONE GIVE ME $3.75million RIGHT NOW.

What even is this??? Why are there so many shapes? Why is there a fake mining tunnel with cars about to drop off a bridge like in a bad western?

There is just. So much going on here. And I love all of it. Supposedly that garage fits 11 cars and comes with a lift and a painting setup.

IMAGINE the DND games you could have right here.

Look at this fucking castle shit. Apparently there’s a huge dumbwaiter to bring up your firewood. And does that support pole have a tiny rock climbing wall???

OH MY GOD IT DOES. And there’s a piano with…rails? IDK.

I have 10% of an idea what’s happening here but is that…bench? covered in a string of heads??? With some kind of…prayer kneeling thingy at the end there? What is happening. What kind of weird religious bastard built this place?

I have so many questions about this random mining tunnel thing. So fucking many.

There’s even a 3D tour available: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/36570-Us-Highway-24-N-Buena-Vista-CO-81211/2076799379_zpid/?

Please, I am begging you, take the virtual tour. I’ve been clicking around for 20 minutes and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. 

I can’t tell if this is an old ore mill that’s been stripped out and added onto to make it a mansion, or if it’s a mansion that was designed to look like an old ore mill. Probably the latter; that style of mill is from the mid to late 1800s, and every part of it would have needed to be replaced.

The minecarts wouldn’t enter at the bottom like that either, if they entered it at all. Usually the mines deposited the raw ore to a railroad that then carried it to the mill, where it dumped the ore at the top so that gravity could work with it as it went down through processing.

So yeah, this has gotta just be something that a person with a lot of money and a lot of fascination in 1800s mining aesthetic had put together.

Yeah, apparently it was designed and built by some guy who owned a car magazine, but he died before he could ever live in it, which I think may account for some of the fairly normal looking bits that clash with the more wild stuff.

Head was stolen in 1995, but was recovered. Buried to protect it from ISIS in 2015 when they destroyed the city.

The director of the Iraqi National Museum seeing the advancing terrorists hid the most important artefacts in safe locations. When captured, they tortured him for weeks trying to get information about where he hid the treasures. The director died but never revealed anything to protect the cultural heritage of his country.

Of some kind or sort, something that’d make anyone else sick

Someone buy me this fish rug or I will start slapping people indiscriminately.

i genuinely think that physically it’s easier to have hard conversations when you’re both facing forward, not having to look at each other. the catholic church knew this also
