Explanation: Germans acquired a curious reputation in the 19th and 20th century AD for wanting things precise, orderly, and done to an exacting standard. While this reputation does not date back to the 16th century AD, when religious reformer Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses criticizing a number of practices of the Catholic Church as not in-line with the Bible they were supposed to following, it does make it a little funny in retrospect.
Plus Luther’s theses led to the splitting of Christianity into Catholic and Protestant.
Luther’s influence is immense. He was one of the first to make laborious use of Gutenberg’s printing press to mass produce his German translation of the bible. That practically standardised how German should be written and spoken.
Because of him we say our numbers weird, eg instead of twenty three we say three and twenty. Confusing foreigners learning the language and children learning math to this day.
Three and twenty was common English as well for a long time.
He biggest mistake was not laminating the theses!
And then have every communication after that be a stream of obscenities telling them to lick your asshole.
Crowned donkey, abandoned, senseless man, excrement of hogs and asses, impudent royal windbag, arrant fool.
Lemon this is just a list of profanity.

You are a sickly, syphilitic sack of maggots.
Interesting how many rulers these epithets could stick to.
It really is a catch-all isn’t it? It would be fun to yell in a crowded room of the fuckers, just to see who acts the most offended by it.
How tf did this guy write 95 theses and not think to add in 5 more and have an even 100
It’s a psychological trick like used in pricing, when you‘d rather buy something for 0.95 than 1.00.
Who wants to read 100 theses? tl;dr
I got 95 problems but a pope ain’t one - Some German guy.
Pretty sure the pope was one of the major problems he had.
Not after posting his
fuck you I won’t do what you told me listTheses.
