Reply to comment by mavrick_the_old in TIL In the West the largest meal of the day has historically been eaten at midday. It was not until Napoleon's empire there was the "abominable habit of dining as late as seven in the evening" as British travelers reported. The British adopted later dinners by 1850 from changes in work schedules. by jamescookenotthatone
Normally lunch and breakfast are smaller then dinner.

Reply to TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz

Reply to TIL that the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night" was the opening line to an actual novel published in 1830, but runs on for another 51 words: "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which..." by dylancatlow
It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning crashes and a new mother cries. Her placenta falls to the floor. The angel opens her eyes The confusion sets on before the doctor can even close the door. An old mother dies; her intentions fall to the floor. The angel closes her eyes. The confusion that was hers belongs now, to the baby down the hall.

I dont think its the kind of shows that works watching random clips. The episodes are pretty story centered and jokes usually are built upon whats been happening. The episodes are like 8 minutes long. Just watch one if youre curious

It took about a season to find its legs but thinning the characters lack depth is simply a sign of not playing attention.
