lmao

A prominent example of a laconism involving Philip II of Macedon was reported by the historian Plutarch. After invading southern Greece and receiving the submission of other key city-states, Philip turned his attention to Sparta and asked menacingly whether he should come as friend or foe. The reply was "Neither."

Losing patience, he sent the message:

If I invade Laconia, I shall turn you out.

The Spartan ephors again replied with a single word:

If.

Philip proceeded to invade Laconia, devastate much of it, and eject the Spartans from various parts.

You will never guess how her transition journey ends

According to Eustathius, Tiresias was originally a woman who promised Apollo her favours in exchange for musical lessons, only to reject him afterwards. She was turned by Apollo into a man, then again a woman under unclear circumstances, then a man by the offended Hera, then into a woman by Zeus. She became a man once again after an encounter with the Muses, until finally Aphrodite turned him into a woman again and then into a mouse.

i love this list in the interspecies friendships wikipedia article that is basically like "i once heard about a horse who was friends with a goose" or "there was this bird polycule in cincinnati"

There are many documented instances of unusual interspecies friendships. Some examples include:

Three large waders including a long-billed curlew, whimbrel and marbled godwit kept each other company every winter in Vancouver for many years.
Near Cincinnati, three northern cardinal and four robin nestlings shared a nest and the parents of the nestlings worked together to bring food to their offspring.
A horse and wild turkey displayed friendly behaviour in which the horse would bow down his head and allow the turkey to climb on his back.
A ram and a blind cow exhibited interspecies friendship in which the ram would protect the cow by making sure she did not bump into anything and feeding beside her every day. When the cow gave birth to a calf, the ram exhibited these protective behaviours on the calf as well.
A cow and a blind mule formed an interspecies friendship in the Black Forest Animal Sanctuary. When the species were introduced, the steer automatically assumed a protective role over the blind mule by staying near her, sleeping next to her, playing with her and leading her around the pasture to protect her from injuries.
Coyotes are often known to hunt badgers, but mutualistic relationships can develop between these rival species. Coyotes and badgers engage in ground squirrel hunting together in which the badgers dig into ground squirrel nests and hunt any they come across. Ground squirrels that manage to flee the site are captured by coyotes nearby. This hunting behaviour benefits both the coyotes and badgers because it allows each species to obtain food. The coyotes initiate ground squirrel hunting through friendly behaviours such as play-bowing, tail-wagging and scampering. The badgers respond to this behaviour even though they are not known to initiate these behaviours with other badgers. After the hunt, the animals often rest together with their bodies in close proximity or touching.
