    Explanation: Diocletian was a Roman Emperor of the late 3rd century and early 4th century AD who royally fucked the government he took over, and then promptly retired to a nice villa in the Balkans. When one of his co-emperors wrote to him begging him to come back and unfuck the mess he seeded, Diocletian responded “If you [the messenger] could show the cabbage that I planted with my own hands to your emperor, he definitely wouldn’t dare suggest that I replace the peace and happiness of this place with the storms of a never-satisfied greed.”

    This would have been amazing using the format where the guy is going somewhere with the woman while looking at the other woman.

    Truly the first tech bro to become a goat farmer. Fuck cincinatus

    Jokes aside I have always loved seeing people do this in history. Whether it be the nameless tech bro or Diocletian or Marco Pierre white. Achieving your dreams then going “nah fuck it” is my favorite shit.
