Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/[email protected] , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Reality: Iraqi-native-turned-American-translator known only as Samir holds Saddam Hussein to the ground just after U.S. forces discovered him.

So technically, the title is accurate.

Yup, which is my favourite kind of joke. But the rest of lemmy seems to feel otherwise.

Edit: Or, based on some of the conversations I've had today, are too young to know the context.
