1 year agoTbf, Italy (or rather Rome) did not take care of the Colosseum for the most part of its history. Heck, carving your name and/or a penis into it pretty much has a tradition now, and as much as I hate destruction of historical or cultural objects the Colosseum is probably one of the monuments where it hurts the least. That still doesn’t make it legally or morally right, but it’s not as bad as it could be.
That’s pretty cool, thanks for the knowledge drop! Already feeling smarter.
On the matter of naming: I can confirm that scientists can’t take shit serious, looking at the Cox-Zucker-Machine (Math) or the RING-Finger Domain and the Sonic hedgehog gene (Biology). Fucking nerds.
Good lock on your thesis defense!
