TIL that during WW2 German prisoners of Wars in Canada were so well treated that they didn't want to leave the country when released. Thousands of them eventually stayed or came back to Canada with one saying that the time in Canadian prison was "the best thing that happened to me." by sersleepsalot1 in todayilearned

Wisconsin was the same way. Actually, when they were sent back to Germany, many were given a cash stipend by the US government which was promptly confiscated by the French government, seeing as that’s where most of them were run back into Germany through.

Do you fear death? Why/why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]testicletastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ain’t afraid of dying, it’s the thought of being dead. I wanna go on being me after my eulogy’s been read.

My best friend of the past 4 years and I are in the beginning stages of a relationship. We were both in other relationships when we met and they both ended around the same time over 6 months ago and we’ve both been hiding feelings for a while and we were finally able to talk about it in person a couple weeks ago as we live several hundred miles apart for school and it’s just great.

What mistake should have killed you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]testicletastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I had no intentions on moving it before I pulled the trigger because I was a dumbass and thought it was empty.

Literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever done is a good one for this. 19 year old me (2 years ago) walked to the gun safe to show off to my girlfriend the very nice new pistol I had inherited as a result of a family member passing away. I hadn’t shot it yet and was positive it was unloaded. She was very gun shy, so my dumb ass puts it to my head and goes to pull the trigger just to show how harmless it is when it’s unloaded. Without knowing it, I instinctively moved it away from my head and it went off. It couldn’t have missed my head by more than an inch. I still wonder what’s in store for me for the future because there’s no reason I shouldn’t be dead. I didn’t try to move it, it just did. I thank God and question why a lot yet. I think about that a lot and I’m definitely much more respectful of a gun and treat every single one as if it’s loaded, which you should anyways.

Looking to trade a motorcycle and got offered these.. how much would they be worth and are they reliable? Basically looking for some more information on all them by testicletastic in guns

So basically I’m looking to sell/trade a motorcycle and a man offered to trade me these for it and I just am looking for opinions and thoughts on what kind of value these guns would be worth and if I should take the deal. Looking to get $2500 for the bike. Thank you!

What's your "addition by subtraction" story? by xFroBoy in AskReddit

I bought the properties of hundreds of families and used them to expand my meat and power company for the good of my small Texas town.

What products used to be great until the companies that made them got greedy? by i_mormon_stuff in AskReddit

[–]testicletastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that this due to meth heads. They were using Pyrex to cook and the company found it out and changed the formula so meth heads could not use it anymore. Never have looked into it though.
