    I want this to be true, but it is so on the nose it would be great to know for sure. Any sauce for this one?

    (I tried searching but only found walls of reposted shitty copper reviews)

      Coffee was “discovered” around the 9th century AD, so I’m gonna have to call shenanigans on this one.

        Ah, but there IS an example of “humans have always been Like This”:

        insults and stupid speaking receive the attention of the land

        (seriousness of slander intensifying)

          That and “today’s youth is worthless” are timeless experiences across all cultures and eras of history.

      I think it’s just a joke, rather than a real reference.

      Same outcome, just one Twitter post and a blog post and nothing else.
