Listen fam, Pheidippides is THE OG runner. He ran 300 miles on a round trip Athens - Sparta fun run to ask for help from the persian invasion. Then right after that, Ran to the battle feild, and saw some serious shit. Aka Greek phalanx kicking the crap out of the Persian war machine. Not to make light tho, likely 10s of thousands died in hand to hand combat, and he witnessed the end of the battle. Homie ran home to tell everyone that we won. Then died… In front of the whole city-state. Not a lot of people think about the word epic and what that word actually means. Pheidippides’ story is carved in stone. There have been statues of him essentially since his death, and still, there are statues of him today, 2500 years later. And literally hundreds of thousands of people run races in his honor monthly. Hell, he made running cool. Fucking change my mind. Oh yeah, his last words inspired the brand name NIKE, maybe the most famous running shoe company? Pre Fontaine is also a G, but ain’t got near the prowess.
Imagine how poor Jesus feels about all those crosses in churches and on people’s necklaces.
The caricature of religion that exists now might be the real disappointment. Or maybe it’s the same as it was then, idk I’m not a historian
Or maybe it’s the same as it was then
Famously so. Like all the tables he broke and the people he cussed inside a temple.
*brag, the word is brag.
Flex is more to show off. You can show off without bragging about it, although everyone who runs marathons seems to brag…
You can’t brag on someone, so you’d have to say a longer phrase like “brag about being better than”. Or you could just use some slang like flex, which is much snappier
Flexin that vocab!
Now correct the kid-pidgin to English as well. ‘ppl’ is what my nephew mumbled around his pablum.
Character limits are a bitch to be fair. What’s wild to me though that you seem to think abbreviations were invented alongside texting by today’s youth, not y’know ancient Greece using IMP for Imperator on their coins and shit.
Sure, they got more popular in the late 1800s in English, but I don’t think you’re that old to be calling 145yo people “kids” lol.
Did he say it like “pee-pee-el”?
Because I’d just say that as “people”
The ancient Greeks used units invented in the 1790s? I mean at least miles were from the same millennium.
If it were written in the miles from the same millenium it would be 28.5 Roman miles
