En plats att dela dina mem (även känt som memer eller mejmejs) med Fediversum!

Regler

Målet är att /c/Mem ska vara en trevlig plats för alla. Dessa regler inte är heltäckande. Förhoppningsvis behövs det inte, men vid tveksamheter kan enskilda beslut tas och reglerna expanderas.

Om du har tankar eller förslag, tveka inte att skicka ett PM till mig - /u/Iceblade02@feddit.nu!

"As Vasa passed under the lee of the bluffs...a gust of wind filled her sails...the ship slowly righted herself as the gust passed. At Tegelviken, where there is a gap in the bluffs, an even stronger gust again forced the ship onto her port side, this time pushing the open lower gunports under the surface...water continued to pour in until it ran down into the hold. The ship swiftly sank to a depth of 32 m (105 ft) only 120 m (390 ft) from shore.

Vasa sank in full view of a crowd of hundreds, if not thousands, of mostly ordinary Stockholmers who had come to see the ship set sail. The crowd included foreign ambassadors, in effect spies of Gustavus Adolphus' allies and enemies."
