No officer, this is not a pirated movie. It's generated by an AI model I created and trained with data from the internet and the fact that it's 99% identical to an existing movie is irrelevant.

Oh, it's now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.

“The year is 50 B.C. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders."

The point from from old England's perspective is that keeping the grass at 2 cm requires a whole bunch of resources and people, so only the rich could afford it. Even today, any neighborhood with weeds growing instead of a 2cm lawn is instantly classified as lower class. There often is no practical use or sometimes use for games or walking is when forbidden because it's a status symbol only.

It's like asking what's the point of owning a Bugatti Chiron that can go 400 kph when you're stuck in the same traffic jam anyway.

Lawns became symbols of the elite in England, as wealthy landowners sought to show off their gains via the most ostentatious displays possible outside stately homes.

Colonizing landowners were keen to replicate the look of a manicured English garden. As such, English imperialism is somewhat to blame for lawns being created around the world, where they became a status symbol, and a sign of wealth and well-to-do.

That's better than someone dousing the lawn in roundup.

About 1000 yard.

Or very roughly 100,000 barleycorn.
