Apparently this is a map showing cannibalism from ancient China through to today. Obviously that context is intentionally left out of the post unless you read Chinese which on a primarily Anglo/English speaking site is just malicious at best and down right racist at worst.
Interestingly there is no mention of the fact that at a time when China didn’t do this, the Belgians were cutting the limbs of workers for failing to hit their rubber quotas.
I hate reddit.
Did you know that Europeans ate mummies?
This is the worst one to me: french culture everyone.

It sounds like a descendent of the Roman festival Cerealia where they set fox tails on fire. But they managed to make it even fucking worse.
France in a nutshell: Take fucked up things from the past. Make them even worse.
I come from an industrial city that has a long history of (extreme) poverty. Due to this poverty it’s a bit of an urban legend that people used to kill cats in the streets and eat them. Yay for capitalism.
But this is just fucked up.
I wish it was a moment ago when I didn’t know this information
Wtf 😱 no!
Listen here! You made fun of them for not reading what Victorians ate but you didn’t read about it either? They ate like, almost all the mummies for…their power or something.
And made the rest into paint.
Oooooof
You’ve been called out! Becoming the liberal you never wanted to see in the world. . .
(side-note, they also ate like, living flesh, and there was such a big market for mummies that gravediggers were just digging up cemeteries to make fake mummies for sale)
I’d heard of corpse medicine just not them being served at dinner parties 😱
I’m now quitting lemmygrad everyone. This is farewell 😪
Blood of the freshly executed also was considered medicine in much of europe until about a bit over a century ago. And the big pedo gang still does cannibalistic rituals in which they drink the blood of God and eat his flesh.
Yeah that always weirded me out when people did communion since all I heard was it literally as a kid
And made paint from them
I clearly don’t know all the wacky bs Europe got up to that I should 💀
One of my favourites (to hate) is when they started sending missionaries all around Europe to give the peasants demonstrations on the one and only correct sexual position.
It sounds fake at one point
They also crushed em up and snorted them like they were lines of cocaine
