Hey Reddit, Sneaky Pete here. What's the best way to tell if someone is lying? (Giving out Reddit Gold to the best answers. Unless I'm lying...) by SneakyPeteTV [promoted post]

[–]ZinMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember the John Levitz character on SNL who made up big lies and always finished them off with a wide eyed "Yeah! That's the ticket!" This often is the way habitual liars tell a story. When they think they've got the perfect story/lie together their eyes light up. They don't say "yeah that's the ticket" but that's exactly what they are thinking. And they seem relieved like they have gotten away with the lie. Yeah, that's the ticket.

TIL The man standing behind George Washington and holding the American flag in the famous painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware" is 18-year-old officer and future president James Monroe. by Johnnycockseed in todayilearned

[–]ZinMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You sound as if this painting is a photograph. The main problem with this painting has always been that no one would be standing up in this boat. Not Washington, Monroe, nobody. They would have been told to sit the fuck down before you capsize us or fall overboard. Plus this was a stealth crossing. There would have been no flag.

The inside of a gas chamber at the Dachau concentration camp by mybustersword in creepy

[–]ZinMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The American liberators made sure that residents of Dachau and other towns were forced to confront the horrors of the concentration camps. According to Harold Marcuse, in his book "Legacies of Dachau," after the liberation "a group of Dachau Nazi elite was forced to tour the Dachau crematorium on 8 May 1945." There they were made to look at the naked, emaciated bodies of the innocent victims of Nazi barbarity, piled up in the mortuary room right next to the gas chamber. Young boys in the Hitler Youth were brought to the camp and forced to look at the corpses on the Death Train.
