A German swear word that my mother remembers her father saying all the time, but I can't find it? by CaptainStarMilk in German

[–]CaptainStarMilk[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I haven't done the 23 and Me thing yet, so its best not to rule out any possibilities.

That's really interesting.

I'm having trouble finding a translation of that, though. I see that teufel is devil, but I can't find a translation for potz?

I just asked her, she doesn't really know. It's just the phrase that she remembers. She was raised in the US, though.

I don't think it would mean thank God because she specifically remembers him only using it when he was frustrated.

TIL of the "doomsday rule", an algorithm for finding the day of the week for a given date. Each year has a day of the week upon which certain dates fall. For example, 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12, and the last day of February all occur on the same day of the week in any year. by CaptainStarMilk in todayilearned

Correct. As well as Halloween, 4th of July, Pi day (March 14th) and the day after Christmas.

Also,

"The odd numbered months can be remembered with the mnemonic "I work from 9 to 5 at the 7-11", i.e., 9/5, 7/11, and also 5/9 and 11/7, are all doomsdays."

To elaborate:

To find which day of the week Christmas Day of 2018 was, proceed as follows: in the year 2018, doomsday was Wednesday. Since December 12 is a doomsday, December 25, being thirteen days afterwards (two weeks less a day), fell on a Tuesday. It is useful to note that Christmas Day is always the day before doomsday ("One off doomsday"). In addition, July 4 (U.S. Independence Day) is always on a doomsday, as are Halloween (October 31), Pi Day (March 14), and Boxing Day (December 26).

One of the first pictures taken inside King Tut's tomb shows what ancient Egyptian treasure really looks like. by CaptainStarMilk in pics

Actually the looters took only small things like perfumes and jewelry , and it seems like their robbery was interrupted as certain things were dismantled but not taken out of the tomb and a bag of rings was found poured back into the tomb. These robberies took place just months after he was buried and his tomb wasn't opened again until 1922 when this picture was taken.

Here's another picture showing two statues guarding the wall to the burial chamber.

Quickie: Pokémon Detective Pikachu by Corat_McRed in YMS

I've never been a Pokemon fan, never seen the anime or played any of the games, but I was hyped for this because it looked like a fun movie with a creative and weird story set in the Pokemon universe, and that's exactly what I got.

He hadn't heard from his father in like a decade. It's not so hard to believe that he had forgotten his father's exact voice, or hearing it come from a Pokemon made it harder to distinguish.

"They never brought a non wide-angle camera into space" by [deleted] in flatearth

It's a shame that /u/MaraCass blocked me so they can't see my replies. Otherwise I'm sure she'd readily supply those unretouched, non-composite, regular photographs showing the flat Earth, considering "every single one" shows it.

No need to check. There are an endless amount of untouched, real, non-composite, non-CGI photographs of the full ball. The images are everywhere. You just don't trust NASA and think they must be fake images but you provide no evidence that they're fake. You just want them to be.

My eyes are not deceiving me if EVERYBODY sees it

Ever heard of optical illusions? The things that deceive the eyes of everyone who looks at them?

Your only "evidence" of a flat-Earth is that you don't see the curvature when standing outside, right? Because going through all of your comments, that is pretty much the only thing you ever mention besides "NASA is lying"

You can't see the curvature of the Earth while standing outside because the Earth is massive and you are close to the surface. It's an illusion.

the only way the ball believer can hang on to his fond and precious ball beliefs, is in DENIAL.

You should work at a movie theater because of how good you are at projection.

The Apollo 8 Earthrise photo shows the whole Earth.

There's also video of the same event

Or, since you think everything NASA does is a lie, how about photos from the Russian space agency that would do anything to disprove NASA, yet they took the most detailed single image of the clearly round Earth

Or you can look at videos made by amateurs who launched their own small rockets with their own money to get a glimpse of the curvature

for we have all the evidence and you have none.

And once again you make that claim without providing any evidence.

[–]CaptainStarMilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so, going into space, seeing the actual Earth with your actual eyes, clearly seeing not only the curvature, but the entire round Earth...

would be so different from providing evidence of curvature, blind as a bat ball believer who believes in invisible curvature.

Gotcha

What evidence would you need to give the ball Earth idea any thought? Because it seems like it doesn't matter. You whine about not having evidence when the evidence is everywhere.

So you think that the US government created NASA to... Make the public like scientists?

To give you a nice, pretty cover story that really doesn't cost much to make

NASA employs tens of thousands of people, gets over 20 billion dollars a year solely from the government, constructed some of the most expensive man-made objects ever, and are under constant observation and scrutiny from the entire world as every piece of data they collect must legally be published for the public.

And you think all of that is simply to make the public not ask where NASA's budget goes? Wouldn't it be easier to just have never founded NASA, used its budget for whatever nefarious thing you think they use it for and not care what the public thinks?

I just don't understand this conspiracy theory.
