    Oxford University is older than the Aztec empire.

    Oxford University founded in 1326, Aztec empire ~1428-1521

      Don’t mean to pick, but Oxford was founded in 1096 and Cambridge in 1209.

      I worked for cambridge in 2009 and got a nice little 800 year badge

          You really need to be nicer to people here or you will probably get banned by someone sooner or later. People are trying to get away from the reddit atmosphere here. Don’t act all superior because you spotted a mistake. That’s really childish.

          Dude, delete it and try to forget, nobody is buying your excuse. You called someone dumb for making a mistake, despite it being you who made the error while OP was bang right.

          It’s very embarrassing mate, you can try to style it out all you want and a couple 10 yr olds might buy it but not much more than that.

          Personally I think you’d do best deleting the comment and trying to forget that you were just that stupid once upon a time :) x

              Yeah but self gaslighting isn’t so bad. Learn from your mistakes sure, but try to forget the things that make you cringe as you fall asleep.

              Much delirium, such humourz.

              I’m guessing that about fits with your level :) x

          Fucking idiot. Can’t do math but quick to jump on the chance to try to correct someone.

          I got it man. Some people just don’t get how the making of a super obvious mistake is a satire of the kind of confidence you’re putting forward.

          It’s weird because it’s like they can’t recognize when an error is so egregious it couldn’t be a genuine error.

      And some of the colleges of Oxford University are older than the university. Merton College was founded in 1264.

      Wait, you’re saying that the Aztec empire was just 64 years old when Columbus discovered America and ships with conquistadors followed to butcher and enslave everyone?

          There were people there prior to the Aztec empire conquering them. The Aztec empire is just a specific government that ruled the area at that specific time.

          The Napoleonic empire, for comparison, only lasted 1804-1815 (with a hole in the middle).

        As an American who lived in England for a couple years, that always just fascinated me. Some places just legit felt like I’ve stepped back in time.
