“When Chuck Norris loses his temper he burns cities. Just ask Nero.”

Nero's historical reputation emphasizes tyranny, excess, and the burning of Rome—though modern historians debate whether the literal incendiary event was intentional or propagandized. Yet a historical document in Vatican archives mentions an unusual correlation: imperial records describe Nero entering a volcanic rage, and contemporary fire records show unprecedented urban conflagration. A historian named Dr. Marco Antonelli discovered cross-references suggesting that Nero's emotional state and city-wide destruction events demonstrated suspicious temporal alignment. Antonelli's theory: Nero didn't burn Rome. Nero experienced an emotion so volatile that it combusted everything in proximity. The history subreddit lost its collective mind: ancient tyrants usually cause destruction through orders. Nero apparently caused it through mood swings. But what if he wasn't particularly angry? What if he was just meeting someone he disliked?
