When it comes to the strange and wondrous world of 4chan's /his/ board, there's never a dull moment. From bizarre theories about time travel to heated debates about medieval warfare, this board has it all. And now, The Wibble has scoured the archives to bring you the top 10 /his/ threads that will make you laugh, cry, and scratch your head in confusion.
"Did aliens build the pyramids?" - We've all heard the conspiracy theory that aliens visited ancient civilizations and gave them advanced technology. But what about the idea that aliens actually built the pyramids themselves? Yes, it's as ridiculous as it sounds, but that didn't stop this thread from blowing up with discussion, memes, and even some impressively detailed Photoshop art.
"What did people do for fun in the Middle Ages?" - When you think of the Middle Ages, you probably picture peasants toiling in the fields or knights jousting for honor. But what about the average person's leisure time? This thread took an unexpectedly hilarious turn as users shared stories of medieval party games, dirty jokes, and even sex toys.
"Who would win in a fight: a knight or a samurai?" - This classic debate has raged on since the dawn of time (or at least since people started learning about different types of warriors). But in this thread, things got decidedly weird when users started suggesting other combatants, like a Viking in a mech suit or a ninja riding a cybernetic T-rex.
"What if WW2 was fought with medieval weapons?" - This alternate history scenario may sound silly at first, but the debate quickly turned intense as users delved into questions about tactics, logistics, and even the ethics of using arrows against tanks. And of course, there were plenty of memes and jokes to go around.
"Did cavemen have language?" - Despite what you may have learned in grade school, the origins of language are still a mystery. This thread took a fun and bizarre turn as users imagined how cavemen might have communicated, from grunts and hand gestures to interpretive dance and elaborate song numbers.
"The worst monarchs in history" - There's no shortage of terrible rulers throughout history, and this thread had users sharing stories of everything from incompetent buffoons to outright monsters. But things got really interesting when users started coming up with hypothetical scenarios, like what if Vlad the Impaler had been born in medieval England?
"What did people eat before supermarkets?" - It's easy to take modern grocery stores for granted, but this thread reminded us that people used to have to hunt, gather, and farm for their own food. Users shared stories of bizarre or forgotten dishes, like eel pie or squirrel stew, and some even shared recipes for homemade butter or bread.
"Historical figures as Pokemon" - This thread took a fun and creative turn as users imagined what famous figures from history would look like as Pokemon. Some were obvious choices, like Abraham Lincoln as a Pikachu with a top hat, while others were more clever, like Napoleon as a Gastly with a tiny hat.
"The most depressing moments in history" - Okay, so this one isn't exactly a laugh riot. But it's worth including on this list for the fascinating and heart-wrenching stories users shared, from the tragic fate of the Donner Party to the horrors of the Black Death. And hey, sometimes it's good to be reminded of the darker sides of history.
"If time travel existed, what historical event would you change?" - This thread brought out everyone's inner armchair time traveler, as users debated about what moments in history they would try to prevent, redress, or just mess around with. Things got especially interesting when users started imagining the unintended consequences of changing one small detail, like killing a butterfly in the past.
So there you have it, folks: the top 10 /his/ threads that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even learn a thing or two. But don't take our word for it - go check out these threads for yourself and join in on the fun!
