If he doesn't actually have a trillion dollars, he only owns assets valued at 1 trillion which, were he to ever sell those assets, they would no longer be worth 1 trillion, I dont really think you can accurately call him a trillionaire

"In a copy of the book on Caesar that he had dictated to Marchand, his valet-cum-executor noted that between eight and nine o’clock on the evening of May 2 Napoleon dictated the words: ‘I bequeath to my son my estate in Ajaccio; two houses in the environs of Salines and their gardens; all my property in the area of Ajaccio which are capable of raising 50,000 francs a year in rent.’ [...] So, having been master of Europe and living the most adventurous life of modern times, Napoleon reverted on his deathbed to what he had been when he was trying to negotiate over the mulberry trees thirty years earlier: a Corsican landowner of the petit noblesse keen to maintain his family’s property rights. On May 3 Napoleon received extreme unction in private from the Abbé Ange-Paul Vignali. An only nominal Catholic in life who had made war on one pope and imprisoned another, he was received back into the bosom of the Church in death. Shortly before he died, he asked Bertrand to close his eyes afterwards, ‘Because they naturally stay open’, something he must have noticed, and been haunted by, from his experience of sixty battlefields. During the 4th, Napoleon suffered from prolonged hiccups, and in the evening he slipped into delirium, asking the name of his son. The next day, Saturday, May 5, 1821, after a very blustery and stormy morning, the fifty-one-year-old former Emperor gave three sighs at long intervals and died at 5.49 p.m., just after the firing of the island’s sunset gun. What Chateaubriand called ‘the mightiest breath of life that ever animated human clay’ had ceased." —Napoleon: A Life, Andrew Roberts (2014)

I'll be honest - I didn't think they were capable of conceiving of something like this in the 18th century

If your ancestors were Polish nobility in 1658 it means you're a member of the Polish nobility now.

BC and BCE are subtly distinct because, though they use the same dating system, BC implicitly recognizes Jesus as the Messiah, the Christos, the Annointed One. A secular version that acknowledges Jesus as its basis would be BJ but I dont think that'll catch on

The term "Flanderized" is so stupid. The guys name isnt "Flander" it's "FlanderS". It should be "FlanderSized"

Aside from the fact that her essay merited a failing grade, the funniest part about this was that it was like, a nothing assignment. This is essentially at the level of a pop quiz and the muh freedumz people are acting like she was burned for heresy
