Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
The usual list-masters seem to be running late, so here's a few comments to start us off:
/u/chocolatepot on Did Flappers use birth control?
/u/sunagainstgold on Was suicide a common issue in the Middle Age?
/u/commiespaceinvader on It's New Year's Eve 1944 in Berlin. What kind of celebrations, if any, are going on? What does everyone think of the coming year?
u/Elphinstone1842 on Did any pirates ever set up a protection racket?
u/Steelcan909 on What was anglo saxon 10th century armor like?
I'll blow my own horn just a bit and say that I answered parts of "What did people eat in the late 1700s to early 1800s? (England and the US)".
And I'm still hoping for someone else to come along and cover some the areas which I left untouched.
/u/the_alaskan answered "Are news articles quoting anonymous sources now more than in the past?"
/u/thom430 on "How unprepared were the Russians for WW1?"
/u/kieslowskifan on "Can someone please expand on the symbolism in this satire of Austria Hungary"
