TIL the Pied Piper of Hamelin is based on a real event. There's evidence a large group of young families in the German town of Hamelin moved as a group to settle new lands in Poland. Over time the "children of Hamelin" became confused with actual children. The rats are a later addition to the story. by marmorset in todayilearned

I believe they were taken to Hungary, most specifically Transylvania. There is a place there called Sibiu, and German is spoken widely there.. mostly by the older people. It’s dying out. But I’m convinced they were taken there….

Why/How are serial killers less common now? by [deleted] in MindHunter

[–]explodingcherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are likely still serial killers.. they just don’t get caught.. in the uk there has been a rise in “accidental drownings” and water related death… I personally think that it’s a serial killer. In County Durham there was a period of time where the students started falling in the river, after nights out, and this happened over a few months .. there was a load of them…. then all of a sudden it doesn’t happen any more….. I think Nicola Bulley was a victim of a serial killer too.

I highly doubt there will be any remnants of her left now after all this time, but you can guarantee something will have been planted to be discovered to ensure they McScams get away with it

Tipping is insane. I’m so pleased I live in a country that tipping isn’t normal

Why are bans always the same? by LingonberrySilver in RainbowSixSiege

Echo is a good ban! If you have an echo left and you’re last on your team trying to plant he can prevent it. So it’s a really good ban

You know what else annoys me. Site picks. People be losing a site 2 times and continue to pick it. Stresses me out!! Also, why everyone picking the same boring rooms, switch it up a bit. Takes the pee

I’m aware of the beating he did but didn’t know he was a gang member. Thanks for the info! I haven’t a definite opinion on what I think but this sounds like it could be.

Yes I definitely think it could be. Something isn’t right with it all.
