        All good! “Fell” is the past tense of “fall”. Aternatively in some cases you could say “did fall”, though in modern English that’s usually used as an affirmative to a question about the fallen status of the chocolate (e.g. [which is short for the Latin “exemplia gratia” , meaning “for example”], Question: “Did the chocolate fall?” Answer: “Yes, the chocolate did fall” or “Yes, it did fall”).

        There are actually other (irrelevant) meanings of the word “fell”; as an adjective in “a fell beast” for example, “fell” means “fierce, cruel, terrible, or dreadful”; or as a verb meaning “to knock, strike, shoot, or cut down; cause to fall” for example " to fell a moose" or “to fell a tree.”

      According to knowyourmeme, this is a photo from a 2018 session of Japanese Parliament. The guy in the center is calling for a vote on a controversial bill, and a bunch of opposition party members are attempting to physically prevent him from doing so. Apparently this is a thing they do in the Japanese Parliament sometimes?

        From the article:

        It should be noted that physical altercations are not exactly a rarity in Japanese Parliament

        I’m actually surprised. Not because I believe Japanese are passive and peaceful, very false stereotypes.

        But this one got me by surprise. Backstabbing and assassination - I could see it, brawling not so much.

            God that’d actually be amazing.

            Then some dude comes out of nowhere in the finale and offs Definitely-Not-Shinzo-Abe with the power of GUN

          If you look up politicians brawl or something on an image search, you find a lot of these photos from all around the globe… I didn’t know that was a thing. What a pathetic display.
