The Ancient Greek city of Megara held a version of the Olympic games with a kissing contest. Only boys were allowed to compete.
@kaia if you love learning about ancient greece and the olympics, watch this educative shitpost of an anime

@coolboymew @kaia i am a little bit embarrassed to admit that i didn't know until ~5 years ago that there was a GIANT discontinuity in the olympics and that the modern day sporting event was just inspired by the one in antiquity and they didn't just do them continuously for millennia
@sneak @kaia somewhat disappointing, right?
@sneak @coolboymew @kaia didn't know that. I assumed the same until now. not really embarrassed because it's boring and I've never watched it once (of my own free will).
@sukapon @coolboymew @kaia i don't watch the olympics but i do like to think of myself as reasonably well-informed of the happenings on earth since (partial) civilization was developed (in some places)
