Youd be surprised by the number of people i have talked to that dont pick up on that.

The Graduate.

Well China i guess you better not shoot at or get close to them then 🤷‍♂️

Its arguable that a significant part of the defeat of the Germans on the Eastern Front was due to the Germans loving to over-engineer things. Especially tanks. And had an obsession with having big guns on them. To the point they could only go 5-10 mph and if anything broke on it it would have to go back to Germany because the design was so weird/complex. Cant remember if it was the Rat or not, but there was even a tank where if you wanted to shoot the cannon somebody had to get out and unbolt it from the hull because it was so big it made it unwieldy to drive.

Meanwhile Soviets just said “Haha T-34 factory go brrrr”, and was easy enough to make and use that there are stories of workers completing the tanks and driving them straight to the front. Illiterate farmer Vasily from the Urals could help weld on parts and then go take part in the fight.

Well. Do you want more?

If you ever wanted any tattoos now is your chance to test em out!

Good rule of thumb: if your state fought for the Confederacy you are not part of the Midwest.

Looking at you Tennessee and Arkansas.

The Romans had 12 day-hours and 12 night-hours. The first daylight hour began at sunrise. The last daylight hour ended at sunset. There were no minutes or seconds tracked, but this means that as the length of the day got longer/shorter the length of the Roman daylight hours were longer/shorter. E.G. The hour of what we think of as 2:00 pm might be ~80 minutes in summer and ~40 minutes in winter instead of always being 60 minutes.

Damn. I was hoping for Cock-Pain.

Is it Japanese i am think of that has an exclusionary “we” form? Almost as in “We(all of US but not YOU) were invited to the party.”

Ladders too.
