Eh, not really being pedantic and absolutely not being narcissistic. It’s simply wrong to argue that silphium went extinct because of the rate of abortions in the Roman Empire. It was massively traded and sold throughout the Mediterranean so it’s ahistorical to claim, with full confidence, that it went extinct due to Roman abortions. I suggest giving this article (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2021.785962/full) a read on it. The claim that the Romans overused in abortions and lead to its extinction simply isn’t proven in anyway. It was most likely over harvested, sure, but as I said, it was used for many different causes. So to call me narcissistic is ridiculous and arguably ought to be applied to you over me.

You’re right, I’m the cunt and not you, clearly.
Yeah
Do you have any other pedantic fact corrections about ancient Rome or the Middle Ages you can share?
Do you know what pedantic means?
I don’t actually. Will you explain it to me?
