What's the most retarded post you've ever seen on Yea Forums?

No because it’s not wrong

Well it is the definition of 'history'. Obviously humans have been doing shit, even religious or at least belief based practices beyond survival for tens of thousands of years before we ever invented writing. So that is part of our history.

history can mean the past or accounts of the past. the user in the screen cap very clearly had the latter in mind.

It's not part of history though. It's prehistory

in the field of "history", this time is referred to as pre-history. before the written word, "history" didn't exist since you couldn't write things down. however, humans haven been making "history" since they appeared on the globe.

you're fighting over words, not actually discussing.

Well of course, history is a word with a specific meaning. Just because you don't like or agree with the meaning, it doesn't change what history means

"(...) the meaning of a word is its use in the language." - wittgenstein
how you use "history" is what "history" means. confusion arises because we often have different implicit assumptions. not even the static definitions of a word are as restrictive as you make them out to be. if you want proof of that, open up any dictionary, and you'll see multiple meanings classified under the same word.

>"history" didn't exist since you couldn't write things down.

>doesn't mean humanity didn't exist before the Greeks.
But nobody is saying this you absolute retard. History as history litteraly has to begin When people started writing things down it doesn't mean there was nobody before that. Fuvking incredible How much of a brainlet someone can be while believing himself to be smart.

>History as history litteraly has to begin When people started writing things down
No. History is anything that ever happened, not just what was written down.

wiktionary.org/wiki/history

is this some sort of high level collective trolling? look at the definitions 1 and 4. everyone in this thread is fighting over which one "history" really means when it's all up to what you want to discuss. in fact, every single person in this thread is right because they're talking about different things. they just happen to all be labeled history.

>No. History is anything that ever happened,
No It's not retard.
Fucking Webster's Definition of history
1 : TALE, STORY
2a : a chronological record of significant events (such as those affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes
a history of Japan
b : a treatise presenting systematically related natural phenomena (as of geography, animals, or plants)
an illustrated history of North American birds
c : an account of a patient's medical background
reviewing her medical history
d : an established record
a prisoner with a history of violence
3 : a branch of knowledge that records and explains past events
medieval history
4a : events that form the subject matter of a history
the history of space exploration
b : events of the past
History has shown that such efforts rarely succeed.
c : one that is finished or done for
the winning streak was history
you're history
d : previous treatment, handling, or experience (as of a metal)
a history of repeated exposure to freezing temperatures

>muh dictionary
History is anything that ever happened, just because written language didn't exist doesn't mean humans didn't do anything.

your complete inability to understand how language works is frightening, especially for someone who browses the literature board.

Repeating your retardation again and again doesn't make It any less retarded. Now go die of leprosy or something.

Stuff happened in prehistory as well, but it wasn't written down so we need archaeology to explain it, as a historical record doesn't exist

statements this great thread has come up with
>humans existed before we wrote it down
>historical records didn't existed before we wrote them down
you're all legitimately retarded, aren't you?

That dude who said Crime and Punishment sucked and was boring. Total brainlet.

this entire threads the out come of a passive aggressive anti natialist fag who wont just do us a favor and off himself

Phew, that thread was extremely retarded but, OP, that user still isn’t wrong, at least in the context of what you were speaking about. He was clearly speaking of history as the study of the past, which didn’t exist formally until then. Hence, pre-history.

History, as used colloquially for “everything ever”, obviously existed.

OP BTFO hahahaha what a moron
Looks like someone didn't graduate

OP you're the retarded one.

just give up OP

this one

>muh semantics
never forget: Yea Forums will ruin it's day over this pointless pedantry instead of actually reading every time

This whole thread is now the most retarded post I have seen in the history of Yea Forums.

But there's oral history...

>Creating meaningful neologisms is the most important development of any philosophy.
Some Landfag.

do you mind naming any pre-historical historical figure ?

Retarded posts are the baseline for Yea Forums, including your post, OP.

Hey hey, that's me!

A thread went away forever for this petty garbage.

>it's an "OP thinks he's a mad cunt because he can into semantics" episode

kek thought this was a meme
