What a cool article

fckreddit, in Rome Didn't Fall When You Think It Did. Here's Why That Fabricated History Matters Today

In India, we have a saying. Almost all kingdoms fall from internal decay than the external invasion.

Arotrios, in Transcript of Surreptitiously Taped Conversations among German Nuclear Physicists at Farm Hall (August 6-7, 1945)

Thank you - it's rare to find a detail like this. This stood out to me in particular in the conversation:

DIEBNER: We always thought we would need two years for one bomb.

HAHN: If they have really got it, they have been very clever in keeping it secret.

WIRTZ: I'm glad we didn't have it.

WEIZSÄCKER: That's another matter.

Wirtz clearly understood what it would have meant if the Nazis, not the Americans, had gotten the bomb first.

That first photo gives me cyberpunk vibes in the best way even though it’s not even close to being cyberpunk

Sweetness, gold, and hexagons - on top of being really cool drones with pointy weapons. Makes sense that humans and honey badgers adore them!

It’s more the illusion of solidarity & superiority, and a hierarchy (Power/Health, …) that they wanted it.

Egotism (Garbage coping mechanisms) typical in repressive/regressive environment to uphold & proliferate the state of affairs (Conditioning play’s a role in it, but seriously how much are you going to blame X, Y or Z).

In the end, it’s the individual’s fault.

So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where was I… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn’t get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

HappycamperNZ,

I mean, in the same way New York losing a landmark and rallying a country behind it “beat” the taleban for 12 years.

    I’m not much of a gamer, but that’s very sad. Any lost media is a loss for future historians to learn about our culture.

    Video games being historical is making me feel old. That being said there is this really sick Museum of Play everyone should check out if they are ever in western New York state. The arcade there is amazing.

    I recently found my Sega MegaDrive/Genesis and got it working again. :)

    Are you really a hermit if you live in someone’s garden and not a shack in the middle of nowhere?
