Let’s see how this one goes for today.

Throwing up another emoji question thing.

Good luck

The date is a bit of a giveaway. And I do not see what cupcakes have to do with it. Needs rats as a bare minimum too.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Sorry. I’ll take a better photo next time.

Those cupcake things are actually sail boats

I was also confused by the cupcakes, but the black dots and skulls were a big clue

Black Death?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Winner!

The answer is correct.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I vote for this. But don’t understand why the emoji list is so long and fussy

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Its probably describing the events and how it happened which is why it’s so long as opposed to being an answer in emoji if that makes sense.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

there were no rats emojis, no germ emojis, no yellow flag πŸ€πŸ¦ πŸŸ¨

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not enough cats or masks!

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Haha well maybe those might make an appearance in one of the later questions.

Been awhile since I’ve flipped through it to see what’s in there.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Battle of Salamis.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sadly incorrect.

I did wonder why there was no Greek flag ... 😹

Small pox wiping out native Americans/south Americans when the first arrivals from Europe came over?

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Too early

Fun fact. Germany initially tried to establish a colony in Venezuela but it failed, one of the reasons being many settlers mostly got wiped out by tropical diseases.
