you know the person is important when they get more than just dots for eyes

Oversimplified: *Doesn't make content for 4 months*

This enraged his father who punished him severly

[tahniyadaziz]

John Brown is the literal definition of chaotic good

[endermanleader]

"Your majesty what should we do about the children down in the coal mines" " *NOTHING* "

[rickawesomegaming]

“Your majesty, what should we do about all of the starving children working in the coal mines?”
“NOTHING!”

Industrial Revolution oversimplified?

Edit: so a lot of people want an Industrial Revolution oversimplified. Nice

"what is it babies do again I'm a good baby

[ThaCataBoi]

“Bringing forth yourself upon someone” is a wild way to say you boinked somebody.

[JulianchoNemoga]

I am colombian. And I really dont mean to offend anyone, but man Lincoln was amazing, what a man and what a historic figure, no wonder why here there are schools, hospitals, streets, neighborhoods, etc under his name. He was an incredible man and my favorite president of the US.

[YankeeBlues]

I can’t believe he left out Lincoln’s wildly successful wrestling career. About 300 wins and invented the choke slam.

That’s not even a joke, Lincoln was a beast in the wrestling ring in his youth.

Who wants a Napoleonic wars video?

Edit - He just released his Napoleonic Wars video! We did it!

[Springtrap]

"Hey son want to go to a picnic"
"Oh gee dad! Where to?"
*a battle*

[JacobC]

It’s hilarious and scary how many people genuinely argue that “it had nothing to do with slavery.” Usually people here in the south that feel like the Confederacy got a raw deal.

[mathuraadir]

I’m just glad Lincolns father didn’t punish him severely

[smasher.]

The slavery loving senator who beat that man with a cain, moved to Florida afterwards, and now there is a town named after him. Brooksville. So this may be one of the first Florida man stories!

[joakos]

Amazing Lincoln was able to overcome his disability of having no legs, a true inspiration

[Cecilpedia]

Honestly, your storytelling abilities are incredible. You use humor to get your point across, but you don't sugarcoat the ugly parts of history. Hats off to you, Mr. Oversimplified.

The South: *Secedes*

This enraged his father who punished him severely

[himler]

Fun Fact: When The South was getting blockaded during the war, and when Christmas rolled around, parents couldn't buy presents for their children, due to inflation, so they told their children that Yankees killed Santa to spur hatred against the North

Edit: Damn, never thought this would still be liked

[hateable_mess]

Going from "He knew he had to keep it all together." To "He had HAD it with this guy's behavior!" Was quick the change.💀

"We should hang out sometime so I can tell you all about NordVPN"
*Proceeds to tell us all about NordVPN without scheduling said hangout*
