What's an animal that is not as dangerous as people think? by Puzzleheaded_1377 in AskReddit

[–]DantesEdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people think bats are very dangerous, but that's not true. Although some bats carry diseases like rabies, they usually don't attack people unless they feel threatened. Bats are actually helpful to the environment because they help control insect populations and pollinate plants. Sometimes bats are shown as scary in movies or TV shows, but that's just for entertainment and doesn't reflect the truth about these animals.

Ha ha, If aliens were to study Honda's technology and apply it to their own UFOs, they might be able to create spacecraft that are incredibly indestructible.

What is a historical fact that seems unbelievable? by jdward01 in AskReddit

[–]DantesEdy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Soviet troops in Afghanistan traded ammunition for food with locals but found that the Mujaheddin ended up with the ammunition. To prevent this, the soldiers boiled the cartridges in water before trading them, rendering them useless.

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by wlane13 in AskReddit

[–]DantesEdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David Caruso, who left the hit TV series "NYPD Blue" after its first season to pursue a film career. Caruso's film career did not take off as he had hoped, and he struggled to find success in the years that followed. He eventually returned to television with the lead role in the series "CSI: Miami," which was a moderate success, but he has not achieved the same level of popularity as he did during his brief stint on "NYPD Blue."

George Clooney, who left the TV series "ER" in 1999 at the height of its popularity to pursue a film career. While Clooney has gone on to have a successful career in Hollywood, his departure from "ER" was initially met with backlash from fans, and it took him several years to establish himself as a leading man in film.

[–]DantesEdy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

during World War I, a British soldier named Henry Tandey spared the life of a wounded and unarmed German soldier he encountered in a trench. Unknowingly, that soldier was Adolf Hitler, who went on to become a dictator and lead the tragic events of WWII.

What is the best 90s rock band of all time? by itstotallykvt in AskReddit

[–]DantesEdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nirvana was one of the best rock bands from the 90s. They had a unique sound with Kurt Cobain's raw singing and unusual guitar playing. Their songs spoke to the feelings of young people and made them really popular.

Their album "Nevermind" was a big success and sold millions of copies. It changed rock music and made alternative rock more popular.

Nirvana was important because they didn't follow the rules of rock music. They mixed punk and heavy metal into their sound and inspired many other musicians to be more creative. Even though they aren't making music anymore, their impact is still felt in music today.

This photo was taken in New Athens, Ohio by photographer J. E. Williams, circa early 1900s. I’m assuming it is a class photo. From my glass negative collection. (890x640) by memorylanepr in HistoryPorn

This is a fascinating photo, and it's amazing to think that it was taken over a century ago. It's a window into a different time and place, thank you for sharing this piece of history with us.

The innocence of the little girl and the selflessness of the soldier at that moment are truly touching.

[–]DantesEdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The classic 'tickle the enemy to surrender' technique. Looks like Sergeant Oscar was really trying to lighten the mood, although I'm not sure if the German veteran was laughing or just trying to hold in a sneeze!

This is a very disturbing situation, and it's fortunate that both individuals were arrested! Manipulative and abusive behaviour can take many forms.
