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.
This answer of mine might be interesting to some: Where do Shiva and Vishnu fit into the Indo-European pantheon? by /u/lcnielsen
I'm getting better at saving the one's I really enjoyed.
How were non-religious people viewed in Ancient Greece? with /u/articleofpeace, who made a series of great posts. I particularly liked "Atheists are useful to disagree with".
I've often heard that the Battle of Britain was won by the Hurricane since it was so cheap to produce Britain could outnumber the more advanced German planes. Whilst the Spitfire was mostly used for propaganda as it was the "sexier" aircraft. Is this true? with /u/Bigglesworth_ who quite apart from having a great username wrote up a fantastic answer about the iconic Spitfires.
If you've ever wanted to learn about the United States Submarine Fleet and its relationship to Submarine versus Submarine combat during WWI, this answer of mine may be of interest!
I did a slightly late answer to /u/AnnalsPornographie's question about footbinding here, focussing on the late Qing context.
I answered an interesting question on why Roman armies of the 6th century were so much smaller than those of other centuries: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9h2r91/why_were_the_armies_of_the_eastern_roman_empire/
I also had someone ask how old Catholicism is, which I took a stab at before the person who posted it deleted their account: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9hxndy/from_an_historical_perspective_how_old_is_the/
'Cause reasons, never actually did this last week, so here we go playing catch up.
