  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.

    The ship Mayflower sailed a lot and founded several cities in America.

    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.

    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.

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

  Folks on the Mayflower probably thought so - they left harbor like three times heading for the new world that year but had to keep turning back because a sister ship was leaking.

  Life did suck back then.
  Unfortunately we are living in a golden age never before seen, and more than likely never to be seen again.

    It’s a pretty shitty golden age for a hell of a lot of people.
