I still don't understand why we don't wait 20 years before talking about the new mods.

I'm also terrified that the entire 20th century becomes game in 4 years.

Welcome, new mods!

"POWER!!!!!!"

You should receive your new paycheck from the Soros-Koch Fund for Big History in the mail later this week.

As is traditional you are expected to sacrifice a f-grade highschool student to the People's History of Marxism altar, and to repeat "I will never use guns germs or steel" into a mirror in a dark room untill the ghost of Gibbon appears to you

The absolutely ruthless moderation is what makes this sub such a pleasure to read. Three cheers for the mods!

(I'll be disappointed if this comment isn't removed for lacking proper citations)

WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO POST SALUTE YOU!

I represent my client who would like to stress about the current and continuing lack of feline representation in this sub. Why do you guys have to be so human-centric?

the mod pantheon will be quicker to respond to your reports prayers and to rain down removals with righteous vengeance.

whispers: Remember that you are mortal...

Sellouts.

May they sit a throne of skulls!

Thank you for having one of the most well-moderated subreddits on the website. I hope with new mods it stays that way.

We are all Hawaiian dreadnoughts on this blessed day.

New mods? Praise the sun!

Suckers.

I, for one, would like to welcome our new insect history overlords.

Bloody hell, I didn't know "high priest of drug use in the nineteenten century" was an available job. I was over a century too late on this one...

New mods, sic transit gloria mundi!

Our power grows.

And welcome to all!

this thread amuses me greatly. Welcome!

Now to figure out how to ask a question about drugged Irish food prepared by medieval French chefs that was then consumed by psychologists in the 19th century.

u/gothwalk, as an Irishman I have often wondered if there was a history of Irish food at all. If this title is not a joke, could you please regale us with stories of a time before, meat spuds and veg for dinner?

I for one, welcome our humorless, power tripping overlords

I study Pink Freud, AMA!

(Also, learning how to be a mod has been fascinating - eventually you do get used to all the dead bodies of shitposters lying around on the floor, but it does take a while)

Still waiting for the mods to say this thread is off topic, lacks sources, is seeing a lot of traffic, and then delete all the comments waiting for the Golden ticket comment of all cited comments.

And I for one, welcome our new mod overlords. As a trusted AH personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground comment deletion caves.

Welcome! I eagerly await the purges and show trials of the older/former mods! (There are gonna be purges and show trials, right? I was promised purges and show trials...)

Meet the new mods! Same as the old mods!

The King is dead! Long live the King!

Praise them with great praise. Now is it one or two chickens I sacrifice for an event like this...?

high priest of drug use in the nineteenth century and the Sunday Digest

This /u/LukeInTheSkyWith sounds like great fun at parties! HEROINE FOR EVERYONE!

Is this the only thread in which I am permitted to make a joke on /r/AskHistorians or is this very comment of mine required to talk about the history of the subreddit?

Congrats!

Praise the new mods! Let there be revisionism, hair-splitting, ambiguous archeological evidence in possibly disturbed contexts and arguments about the biases of primary source authors for everyone!

Is this a meta thread?!!? ##SHITPOSTS GET YA SHITPOSTS HERE

Welcome all!

Praise be our new overlords

Hail, friends!

It's always lovely to see that dry humour and puns are an occupational hazard. Threads like these make it easier to forgive myself for past offenses.

Good luck to all of you!

Can you cite sources please?

Thanks for mantaining this awesome sub!

Oh, hai tape.

Greatest praise to the keepers of history

NO SOURCES, MODS BAN PLS

/u/gothwalk , chief of the history of Irish food

So what's that, like a pamphlet of recipes involving potato?

But seriously though, always nice to see this sub expanding with intelligent historian minds. I'll go back to quietly lurking now. Thank you all.

praise mods!

Finally a post I can comment on, thanks everyone I learned a lot lurking while contributing nothing to every subreddit I actually comment on

One of the few places I favor moderating, thanks again all jokes aside.

The Illuminati membership grows bigger, I see!

Ahhh the new gods arrive, I am unfamiliar with their particular costumes of worship and punishment for lack of praise, Could someone refresh my memory?

Deus Vult!

Praise be unto our new overlords!

Well, I didn't vote for you -Dennis, 1975

/u/miles_sine_castrum, regale me a tale of High Medieval France, so I may fall asleep tonight. I speak French, so don't be afraid to include it or Old French.

What's the most interesting facet of the history of Irish food?

I'm interested in Irish food.

Ah, I would love to mod this sub but I don't have the background to be an expert in a particular area yet 😔

The initiation is not complete until a blood sacrifice over a copy of The American Pageant whilst chanting, "lies, lies, lies" is complete. Remember your oath that history is written by the victors, this is why we have Polish jokes.

All hail!

I'm only commenting because I can.

Welcome. Thank you for all your hard work

New mods REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Thank you for all that you will have been doing.

I bid you fair welcome, my new overlords

I look forward to the first time one of my posts is removed by the new mods with groovy anticipation!

And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of r/AskHistory, I shall fear no evil and bask in the ever lasting light of the mods.

WE HAIL OUR NEW OVERLORDS

I've learned so much about history from this subreddit; thank you mods for savagely bludgeoning into paste the ignorant plebs posing as answerers who fail to follow the rules!
