in b4 someone says that it is an “average”.

that number is made up BS anyways

there’s no average, that number was literally made up for some bs theory of empires.

it isn’t because it’s an “average” it’s literally made it, and it’s impossible to get, as whatever definition of empire will miss so many “empires”.

it’s multiple layers of bs.

if you want to go into statistics, normal average are useless for these things, as many empires last a few years, while others can last thousands. they don’t fall in a normal distribution, you might need a geometric mean.

but also, empire is such a vague term. did the Roman empire fall around the 5 century? or do you count Byzantium as the Roman empire?

Did England start with the Norman invasion? or was it from before and the Normans were just a new dynasty?

it’s something that’s practically impossible to count, what’s an empire? when it started/ended? and on top of that no normal distribution.

it isn’t an average, it’s a literal bs made up number

it’s all fun and games until the emperor picks up a fiddle

can’t remember what I was watching, but I accidentally muted it just when a dramatic scene started, and I was so riveted by the scene having no sound at all.

i had to focus only on the scene, and it was so suspenseful, tense, and immersive, thought the director was a genius for taking such risks and it paid off… eventually I noticed it was on mute.

elaborate please
