Unpopular take, but sushi was invented in Nihon, not Japan.

Well, until someone creates a “stupidlypedanticfacebook” community I suppose this is the best place for this.

Sushi was created in California. Hence, the name California Roll. Duh.

Wasn't Khemet a completely seperate civilization than the Egypt in the same place today? I think it's totally reasonable to differentiate between them. We don't say Mexicans built Chichen Itza
-
Even the ancient Egyptians said they where a legacy civilisation.
Honestly how the fuck do you get progressively worse at building pyramids.
-
Mexicans did build Chichen Itza. Mayans are Mexicans. They still live there. They still speak the language.
And genetically, the Egyptians who live there today have been shown to be the descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Where do you think they went?
-
Mexicans didn't build Chichen Itza, the ancestors of some Mexicans did. And those ancestors weren't called Mexicans. We say Mayans built Chichen Itza because that's the name of their civilisation. Their descendants can acknowledge that heritage by calling themselves Mayan, but what they call themselves isn't what determines what their ancestors should be called, much less their citizenship today.

Well, I also doubt Hackney chavs kicked off the industrial revolution.

You can make the argument, but then you'd have to fence off at least 6 or 7 different "Egypts". The precise division would depend on what point you're trying to make.
The flip side, though, is that that implies you'd only ever draw the lines to make a point, which would mean the reply here isn't "that's not true", but "So? What are you trying to say?".

Fun fact, the aliens didn't build the first pyramids. It was in fact the work of extra terrestrial beings
-
Wait, so calling past societies by an exonym completely invalidates all of the history that they were involved with?
Okay...?
-
Fun fact, people named Jimmy Corsetti have been commonly known as Dipshittians.
-
Then there's this strange 'Misr' place that obviously doesn't exist and is made up. Doesn't even sound real.

The capacitor people?

Wait until I tell you about Istanbul...
Excuse me? Not to be rude, but that's nobody's business but the Turks.
From the ancient Turquoise?
I see you
Don't you tell me about Istanbul! I had a date in Constantinople once. Double-checked and everything. Turns out she was waiting in Istanbul.
Whatever.
I prefer Miklagard, honestly.
You mean Carigrad?
Constantinople is a long time gone. I never knew why it got the works.
