Make some noise for another fantastic edition of the Sunday Digest! We have another great collection of hundreds of topics and answers to kill some time with. Don’t forget to check out the usual weekly features as well, drop some appreciation for the writers, and upvote your faves!

My favorite time of the week is quickly becoming New Snoo Sunday: Introducing Snoor Inayat Khan, Snoollarawarre Bennelong, and Chief Snooseph.

• AskHistorians Podcast Episode 177 - The Argentine Revolution

• We had a particularly busy Thursday Reading & recommendations.

• Amazing books, imposter cats and more in the Friday Free for All!

• /u/J-Force, /u/boccraeft and a monumental effort from /u/MaharajadhirajaSawai feature in a packed Saturday Showcase this week.

• Sub Question: Why can't I see comments on this sub a lot of the time?

• An interesting question in Historians, when you answer a question on this subreddit, are you just quoting from sources and accepted works or are you also putting in your own personal observations/conclusions on the subject?

That’s it for my gig. Enjoy the wealth this week, keep your eyes tuned for some more awesome stuff coming in the future, and we’ll see you again next week!

Time for another installment of "The Real Questions", where we take a look at the wilder side of r/AskHistorians! Here, I give a shout-out to people asking the more atypical questions on this sub: questions that investigate amusing, unique, bizarre, or less common aspects of history, as well as ones that take us through intriguing adventures of historiography/methodology or niche/overlooked topics and moments in history. It's always a wide (and perhaps confusing) assortment of topics, but at the end of the day, when I see them I think, "Finally, someone is asking the real questions!"

Guess what? We've been doing The Real Questions for a year now! It looks so different now compared to when I first started, but think about all these nifty questions that have been asked over the last year - not to mention all the ones I missed, and the ones that came before this!

Below are my entries for the week - questions with a link to an older response are marked with ‡. Let me know what you think were the realest questions you saw this week, and be sure to check out my full list of Real Questions.

We also take some time every Sunday to call out some of the interesting yet overlooked questions that caught our eyes this week. Perhaps a wandering expert will drop by and spot them, or they’ll serve as inspiration for future question askers! Feel free to add your own, or call out others you saw.

• /u/kcdvus asked I’m a 28 year old French Canadian man in 1880 with a wife and three children. I don’t speak English and my 7 year old son is my primary interpreter. What was my journey from living in Anarbor Ontario to Republic Idaho like, and why do I make this journey?

• /u/TheHondoGod asked During World War Two there's lots of info about Russian moles in the US, but did Russia have spies in Germany or Japan?

• /u/DigForFire90 asked Mandelbrot ("Almond Bread"), Bosendorfer ("Evil villages"), Depp ("Idiot"), Spielberg ("Play Mountain"), Brauneis ("Brown Ice"), etc. Why are so Many German Last Names So... Weird?

/u/mikedash gave an interesting answer to How did the UK, a country with libel laws generally seen as very plaintiff-friendly, come to have some of the most notorious tabloids in the Anglosphere?

Highly upvoted but unanswered was How did evidence of the Tienanmen Square Massacre escape PRC suppression?

From the past week's theme was Is there non-linguistic evidence that the Huhugam are the ancestors of the Pima/later Salt River tribes? How did later tribes' oral history come to record supernaturally-aided conquest of the Huhugam, rather than a genealogical link?
