Violin, blech. What a terrible racket those useless toys make with their "pop music." What on earth is a "Beethoven?" Kids these days with their slang. Give me a good ol' fashioned tambourine tune any day.

I looked it up.
Positive news of 1620:
- A peace treaty was signed between Hungary and the Roman empire.
- The world’s first merry-go-round was built in Turkey.
- The first (4 string) violin was developed
- The alphabet for deaf people was created (in Spain)
- Osaka castle in Japan was renovated. The current state is of this restoration.
- The ship Mayflower sailed a lot and founded several cities in America.

Violinists is not a real instrument. Violinists are not real musicians.

That was definitely not positive news for the indigenous people.

I’d blame that on the settlers rather than the vessel.
PS. You do not want to see the bad news from 1620.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
True, but the vessel didn’t found the cities.

Nor sail itself, etc. In fact, I've never heard anyone single out the actual vessel as noteworthy.
"What's that? Genocide, yes, yes. But, by God was she a fine sailin' ship..."
