Had an account on TA for some time by now, decided to start seriously posting here after I got banned from one of the forums I use to normally be posting
Cozy community.
Informative posts and interesting facts.
Interesting people from all over the world.
Weirdos (like OP).
Banter.
Cute guys.
Cute girls.
I am just here to master-bait.
I intend to find my husband/wife "soulmate" here.
I do not know actually but I am probably here forever.
I take the "European cultural community" premise seriously. I like to discuss things pertaining to European culture only.
"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for [my ethnicity]'s children. Because the beauty of [my ethnicity]'s people must not perish from the earth."

Interesting international talk and banter. The weirdos I still don't know if I like them or not.
I've been studying at home due to reasons only my extreme bad luck can explain, so in the lack of people to share a laugh with IRL, I am chronically posting around here.

Normal non-weird people are TEH SUPERIOR featherless bipeds :
Great minds produce great works of art, science, music, literature and beyond, but those same minds also produce some eccentricities that go hand in hand with that exceptional level of genius. These quirks make the creative processes of some of the world’s most famous geniuses unusual, to say the least.
Benjamin Franklin’s naked “air baths”
Founding father of the United States, inventor, scientist and politician Benjamin Franklin was notorious for his strict daily routine and eccentric habits. Perhaps his quirkiest habit was taking a morning “air bath” in which he would sit in front of an open window, “without any clothes whatever, half an hour or an hour, according to the season”, according to a letter he wrote to a friend.
Jane Austen’s squeaky door
The novels of Jane Austen are some of the most popular in the world, but the author preferred to be entirely alone while she was working and certainly didn’t like to share her work with anyone before it was finished. She wrote at a writing slope in the dining room of her family’s cottage and deliberately ensured that the hinges on the door creaked so she could hear if anyone was coming into the room.
Ludwig Van Beethoven’s watery wake ups
One of the world’s greatest composers, Ludwig Van Beethoven was reported to have composed his great symphonies while pacing around his room and pouring water over his head at regular intervals to keep himself awake and his mind at peak performance. This habit often led to flooding on the floors below.
Maya Angelou’s rented room
Renowned American author Maya Angelou never worked at home. According to an interview she gave to the Paris Review in 1990 the author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings rented a hotel room in every town she ever lived in just to use it for writing. She wrote while lying on the bed and asked for everything to be removed from the walls of the room to avoid distractions and never allowed it to be cleaned. Angelou even refused to allow the sheets to be changed when the hotel staff left a note suggesting they were, “mouldy”.
Honoré de Balzac’s crazy coffee habit
One of France’s greatest writers, Honoré de Balzac drank a reported 50 cups of coffee per day. In his own words, “Were it not for coffee one could not write, which is to say one could not live.” In the end it may have been his undoing. He suffered from stomach pains throughout his life and died at the age of 51 from complications of congestive heart failure thought to have been brought on by his caffeine addiction.
Igor Stravinsky’s headrush
Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, famous for composing the revolutionary Rite of Spring symphony, stood on his head when he was creatively blocked because he believed the move “rests the head and clears the brain”.
Nikola Tesla’s toe flexes
Inventor Nikola Tesla was the epitome of the mad scientist. The inventor of AC current barely slept but would walk eight or ten miles every day and reportedly had a photographic memory. Among his many quirky habits he swore by repeatedly extending and contracting his toes 100 times a day on each foot. He claimed it stimulated his brain cells. With 112 lifetime U.S. patents to his name, who are we to argue with this creative genius?

I've known about this place for a really long time. I always found anthropology really interesting. Whenever I had a weird question for many years about some random ethnicity living in some isolated place, something I sperg about very often, I would google it with "apricity" in the search and I'd always find something really interesting.
Plus it's not like Stormfront or something which is unironically full of crazy people LARPing and debating to hell and back stuff that just doesn't matter. People here seem more able to take a joke too.
