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.
As snow (and rain) sheets past my window, I settle down to another weekend of bringing you amazing folks another AskHistorians Digest! The greatest compilation of hand crafted history threads this side of the internet. Buckle up one and all, because we’ve got a packed thread today!
Tuesday Trivia: Atheism! This thread has relaxed standards—we invite everyone to participate!
And we have Friday Free for All.
And the Saturday Showcase was ruled by /u/WelfOnTheShelf!
Don’t forget to check out the usual weekly fare, and some special threads as well!
And this brings me to a close once again, and comes very close to closing out the year entirely. We’ve got one more solidly 2022 digest, and then one more that will finish off all the 2022 write ups. Get hyped folks!
We also spare some time today to show some appreciation for those fascinating questions that caught our eye, but still hope for the attention of an expert. Please feel free to post up your own, or those that hooked your interest over the last few days, and maybe we’ll get lucky!
