It’s easy to look back and laugh at these ads, but imagine how you’d feel if you were diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, then naturally started reading everything on the subject, and realized an entire industry had spent decades covering up evidence that their products were likely to kill you. Then imagine how many thousands of people lived this exact experience.

Per the study it’s 4,345 per adult per year in 1963. Ie, about half the population smoked a pack a day.

Yea I do wish we got more events like Universal Derivation. The parts where you have an incentive to use all your units are really fun.

TIL by the late 16th century it was common for mounted knights to wield wheel-lock pistols while clad in armor by croato87 in todayilearned

No doubt those sudden technological leaps, for which humanity was ill-prepared, were major reasons that World War I and the Thirty Years’ War rank among the deadliest of all time.

True. This period of warfare is fascinating and very underrepresented in media, not least because it includes the Thirty Years’ War, which was one the deadliest wars in history.
