    These things are usually a string of discordant events that eventually get lumped together. A particular moment is often cited. The assassination of Sir Francis Drake Archduke Franz Ferdinand for WWI is the most well known. What do you think instigates the start?

    Edit: My dumbass mixing up names

      …what? Did you mean Archduke Franz Ferdinand, or is there some sort of in-joke going on here that I’m missing?

        Nah, just me mucking up my historical figures.

        Now I wanna play Uncharted.

      If everything continues like it does probably Ukraine or Israel? Depending on which escalates first, so probably the latter

      I think you may be confusing the assassination for Vasco da Gama when he suddenly and unexpectedly died in India.

        Or we could go full blown 'merica and say it didn’t “start” until the sinking of the RMS Lusitania well after shit got going.

            I really should give Airplane II another chance.

              All those films … the Airplane Series, Hot Shots, Naked Gun Series … they should be required viewing for a Memeology Education Program

              An additional program would be everything Star Trek

                I fear for the younger generation, and how much pop-culture they’d have to catch up on in order to understand tier 4 memes.
