[WP] A small island of about 3000 people. One morning they wake up to find that all contact with the mainland has been lost. They take a ship to the mainland and find that there's no people or buildings, just Wilderness. Except for the island there's no evidence humanity ever even existed.

when my grandmother was a child the Germans dropped a bomb on her street. She told me that her home city, Stoke-on-Trent, wasn't a strategic target but the Germans would sometimes drop bombs anywhere just to get rid excess weight on the way home. Is that true?

Suppose I'm a youth (say about 13) in the USSR in 1977 and I ask my history teacher why so many people were purged in the 1930s. Would I be given a an answer or just told to drop the issue? If the former what would that answer be?

why was the church so offended by the notion of Heliocentrism? It was pagan natural philosophers who came up with the generally accepted (generally accepted in the late middle ages I mean) notion of the geocentric model, not catholic theologians

suppose you're in a roman encampment just at sunset the day before there set to engage in battle with another militarily powerful foe (let's say the Parthians). what would you expect the atmosphere to be like, what would expect to see people doing and saying?
