Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

"Are there any Medici left? No, there are no descendants of the Medici left today. The family ended with the death of Anna Maria Luisa.

Of course there are thousands of people with some DNA or “blood” in common with the Medici, but that means nothing. If someone is claiming to be a descendant of the Medici, is a scammer or has been scammed"

Wut

That website seems to be very insistent that any evidence that they don't control is fraudulent

honestly speaking did not put much effort into this research. I was intrigued and checked a couple of websites which all seemed to claim they are long dead and gone and posted one of them here.

same here. that was what my skim said. I just got a "hey, our history book says there's none left YOUR DNA IS LYING SHUT UP" vibe from it
