How come? I remember loving these books as a kid, like autistically pouring over them lol, but I obviously don’t remember anything about them. We’re they not accurate Or something?
What the fuck, me too lmao. I read about how the medieval people used to use hay to wipe their asses and one time before I had to take a shit I grabbed a bunch of grass from the yard and tried to see how good it was at wiping. Think I got more of it on my hands if anything. I also remember the long poop chute and thought about what it'd be like if someone threw me into it.
>Somehow I did not grow up into a scat fetishist.
How... fucking how?
I mean you dodged the worst bullet, only beat probably by actual pedophilia and necrophilia, but god damn how the fuck did you not?
Honestly I have no clue. I just grew out of it and stopped thinking about it eventually. Odd because I remember an incident in middle school where my class was at some school outing and this girl I liked went to use the port-a-potty and I snuck away and tried to peek through the gaps in it to try and see her peeing. That was the last time I recall being interested in anything like that.
>JC penny catalog
Someone told me they used to us lingerie catalogs. I went and found one and looked through it, and got caught by my step dad as a kid doing that.
I wasn't jacking off or anything and I actually found the catalog to be pretty boring, I just wanted to see if it was good or if the women were attractive.
Was a real embarrassing night. I'd say I feel real sorry for kids trying to use a catalog these days because everyone in them is obese, but they get smart phones at age 9 these days so they are probably into more hardcore shit by age 13 than I ever was back then. Kind of sad honestly.
Tell me what's wrong with Homeschooling. My time in a public school was fucking awful because I had to hang out with retards and fags who had to have everything explained to them a million times.
Homeschooling kids tend to be weirder because they're constantly surrounded by good people and loved ones. They lack the hardened and cautious exterior grown from exposure to jerks.
>get homeschooled >have no idea how to approach people that are different from you >no idea how to talk to girls >no idea how to deal with hostility >no sense of how other people live their lives
You either end up an autismo with an alright job and no social life or a "cause" fighting weirdo wanting to pet hobos unaware that this will get you stabbed.
I live in trumpsville city in southern state USA and the amount of people, republicans in particular, homeschooling their kids now is crazy, my wife works with kids and more often than not they are homeschooled and they’re all way smarter and more well adjusted than the kids in public schools. The kids in public schools are like ambivalent zombies that can’t go 3 seconds without looking at their phones, the ones that are homeschooled act like actual children and love learning and interacting with the world.
you know how Jesus said he would return in lifetime? yeah the reason he isn't back is because there is this immortal bro that goes around documenting cool stuff like Vikings.
>implying videogames are better now
good modern games are so infrequent that you could finish them all spending less than a month every year, then use the other 11 months to read
I own the paperback copy of this book, bought at an airport bookstore as I was flying home for the holidays in '03. Saw it looked cool and I was totally down for hyping myself up for the movie.
for me it was Age of Empires 2. God damn if it was in AOE2 i wanted to read about it. Any game with enough historical pieces would at least get me to look it up on lycos or whatever the fuck we used back then
Yeah, I loved those eyewitness books, and I used to go feral when my teachers would play the videos in class. My dad used to work at Borders, so sometimes I would go there and read until he got off work, and I remember really liking the -ology books they had.
>low-brained enough to think reading books and playing vidya is an exclusionary choice you have to make
Sometimes I really, really wonder if zoomers are gonna make it.

>Eyewitness books
Women can have penises too
?????
Is that a route they've gone down now?
I remember liking those books as a kid.
I raise you Cross-Sections.
Damn. Now that's a blast from the past.
The castle one cracks me up

I assume it's because the crossbowman is about to fucking kill the jester.
I used to masturbate to the people pooping in this book
What the fuck, me too lmao.

For me it was the JC Penny catalog. I feel no shame.

that's always been the case
t. lit BA
>bragging about that on an anonymous forum
I'm doing a bachlor's in English Lit too.
Yes, right now
quite literally everything is better than games now
Are these good for educational purposes honest question?
Yeah, if you are white. If not then they are good for starting fires
I'm pretty sure I got an Eyewitness game at one of those home schooling convention fairs when I was a little kid.
>tfw the weird home school kid enters the thread

That's only a partial truth. I spent most of the mornings studying and the other half of the day at the skatepark hanging out with "bad" people.
Homeschooling is the most responsible way of educating your children.
Homeschooling, if you want to call it that, is how kids were taught for most of history. Putting kids in a kid zoo is a strange new concept.
school existed in Ancient Egypt, you fucking moron.

Holy fuck, that's a blast from the past. I had the Castle book.

Where did they find the 12th century bros to write this?

Remember in class when the teacher wheeled in the TV and VCR?
I can't believe no one's posted this yet. You're slipping, Ganker.
learningbros i wanna go back
They still are.
for me it was Age of Empires 2. God damn if it was in AOE2 i wanted to read about it. Any game with enough historical pieces would at least get me to look it up on lycos or whatever the fuck we used back then
I have localised "cars" book from these series. Never knew there were more though.
There was even a TV show. Pretty good overall.
EH REH

I'll see your Eyewitness and 'Ology books, and I'll raise with this.
i remember getting the egypt one of these
>low-brained enough to think reading books and playing vidya is an exclusionary choice you have to make
Sometimes I really, really wonder if zoomers are gonna make it.
I still have one of these. Ancient Rome, I think.
Who else almost had a heart attack when they turned to the full-size mummy head page the first time?
>remember when books were better than video games?
That has literally never been the truth. Books are average, which is at least better than movies.
Ah yes because the ET on the 2600 was definitely the superior version of that story.
I still have my Eyewitness books.
I remember today, yes
