minus-squareCIA_chatbot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·4 days agoOne of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, shit, I figured death would be more intimidating though, not just an over privileged moron
minus-squareCIA_chatbot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 days agoI thought they were death, war, conquest and famine, though maybe famine and pestilence go together

minus-squareCIA_chatbot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoMaybe, I just looked at Wikipedia :D
