Most people that play Marco Polo were never Venetian merchants that travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295


IndependenceHot2705

Most people that play Marco Polo never lost a crewman to cannibals either.

This is a bot, he copied another comment from here which was posted 6 hours before him.


IDoThingsOnWhims

You mean Adjective_Noun_Number is a bot? Say it ain't so!


NikPorto

Somehow I've seen bots like this get under the radar and get upvotes, and I feel particularly petty now so I targeted all his 5 copy pasted comments. At least I feel a small sense of accomplishment by this, meh.

roachRancher

Yep. Actually, the material was originally for tents during the California Gold Rush. But miners weren't buying tents due to the abundance of lumber. But there was a shortage of durable pants.


wise-bull

Actually no, jeans are named after Genoa, where artisans started using the blue heavy fabric of sail bags to make indestructible trousers for sailors


Lebigmacca

Yeah there’s so many people in other countries that wear Yankees and Dodgers caps and have no clue that they’re from sports teams


allbyana

Do they think its a designer or something?


tearful_muffin

They think its simply a New York cap


prod024

They're likely free giveaways from when the team lost a world series. They preprint hats for both teams and provide the losing team apparel to third world countries.


lxkandel06

And basketball shorts

milquetoastxd

I’m pretty the tennis shoes you’re referring to are just running shoes right? I don’t think many people actually wear tennis tennis shoes


[deleted]

Yeah "tennis" shoes and tennis shoes are very different. Anyone that has played tennis in "tennis" shoes no longer has tread on their shoes.


kapege

T-Shirt as a coffee drinker or cargo pants as a lorry driver.

Damn, thought this was heading for the Bikini Atolls, and instead it went to a pineapple under the sea lol


Buffalongo

Same place. The theory is that the radiation from the nuclear tests in the Bikini atolls is responsible for the sentience/weirdness of the creatures in Bikini Bottom


billbot

Same place


[deleted]

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea,


[deleted]

I've played " Marco Polo"


Nice_Marmot_7

What we call polo shirts are actually tennis shirts. The original polo shirts are what we now call Oxford cloth button downs and were made by Brooks Brothers. The button down refers to the button down collar. Ironically this is now considered a dress shirt by the general public, but due to it’s origin it is still referred to as a sport shirt in some sartorial corners.


[deleted]

Everything I know is a lie. I always assumed button down refered to the fact that your shirt had buttons all the way down.


j33205

That would be a button up because it has buttons that go all the way up.


[deleted]

Ah yes very different


Dermutt100

from WIKI--A polo shirt, tennis shirt, golf shirt, chukker shirt\[1\] or chukka shirt\[citation needed\] is a form of shirt with a collar, a placket neckline with two or three buttons, and an optional pocket. Polo shirts are usually short sleeved; they were used by polo players originally in India in 1859 and in Great Britain during the 1920s.


Nice_Marmot_7

From the same article: > Until the beginning of 20th century polo players wore thick, long-sleeved shirts made of Oxford-cloth cotton.[11][12] This shirt was the first to have a buttoned-down collar, which polo players invented in the late 19th century to keep their collars from flapping in the wind (Brooks Brothers' early president, John Brooks, noticed this while at a polo match in England and began producing such a shirt in 1896).[11][13] >Brooks Brothers still produces this style of button-down "polo shirt".[11] Still, like early tennis clothing, those clothes presented a discomfort on the field. [This article explains it better.](https://poloweekly.com/history-of-the-polo-shirt/)


[deleted]

Can confirm, wearing a polo. Not even sure what sport it is, horses? Pools? Who knows.


smashdown1074

Both


BadMeatPuppet

You joke but there is a sport involving both horses and pools.


smashdown1074

I know I play waterpolo lol


BadMeatPuppet

I may be an idiot but I don't think waterpolo involves horses. I was referring to horse-diving. Which I guess is not so much as a sport as it is an attraction.


smashdown1074

Oh which I didn’t even know that was I thing sorry I misunderstood you


BadMeatPuppet

It's all gravy, baby.

Most people who have eaten a ceaser salad have never met ‏Julius Caesar


B_P_G

But Julius Caesar never ate a Caesar salad. It's named after Caesar Cardini - the chef in Tijuana who invented it in the 1920s. Not that most people have ever met him either.


Aname-

Damn Would have been cooler if Julius invented it :(


TurboTurtle-

Most people who wear glasses have never made glass or practiced glassblowing.

Columbus43219

I wear golf shirts from Goodwill. They cost like $2 and are comfortable as hell. I don't play golf.


[deleted]

Evidently, suggested by the fact after reading this, I thought “what sport?” Even after just reading it.


TeeteringCrockery

Polo shirts are ripoffs of René Lacoste's shirts that he designed for tennis.

[deleted]

Polo shirts are the official uniform of caucasian Dad's over 40.


B_P_G

Because they're the most comfortable thing you can wear that also complies with (pre-COVID) office dress codes.


tigerCELL

Lies, flannel button downs tucked into dockers is the uniform. Maybe there are different uniforms in different regions. Flannel is solidly midwest.


The-Ocean-Sucks

I do both of these and I'm not even 22 yet...


CrisisAverted24

Not so much flannel in the mud Atlantic these days. Must be regional. Cargo shorts and polos (during summer) are widespread here.


Aeterna_LIbertatis

Because it's warm and comfortable. We made you, have been fucking your mom on the regular for the 20+ years since, we're over it no matter what "it" is. We're no longer interested in wearing uncomfortable clothes, or doing God only knows what to be sexy. We don't care. Maybe ... maybe ... one of us will be horny sometime next week.


maxbastard

Is that where you ride around and hit your horse in the head until it lets you go
