Just reminds me that I never did learn how watches work... I must expand my knowledge to include that.

Clickspring has an excellent series in which he constructs a clock from scratch. Would highly recommend.

Another Lego one, but it reminded me of something:



Ignoring how there's no evidence that Vikings had horned helmets, did you know they do have evidence for female viking warriors? Probably not the majority of their warriors, but they were there.
Also, though they'd be backwards now (arguably, given recent events), Viking rape law was still more liberal than anything else in Europe at the time. Rapists were declared outlaws, which basically meant it was okay to kill them, a sort of indirect death penalty. Compare to Europe at the time, where women were still property of the father or husband, and rape was considered a form of theft.

It's not really a lie, just that the situation is far more complex than such simplified (and often clickbaity) articles suggest. In large part, there's just the fact that we don't know enough about that part of the past to draw reliable conclusions.
