Ah come on. While you have a point, it’s been bread and games, public executions, and sad classical music in D minor for hundreds of years.

Hundreds? The bread and games thing is literally a quote from the Roman Empire, and I’m sure they didn’t invent it themselves either.

Yes but "hundreds" is the selector that applies for all three of my examples, whereas "thousands" merely applies to two ;)

Pretty sure the romans had public executions too
