Over the many yrs since WWll many (sadly not enough) stories about one person or sm group people that saved Nazi targeted people; there was a german officer that ran a workshop - humanly, & had them make secure hiding spots for their children... It was on PBS. There are many unsung heroes from that war. Was there ever a war that's not a Horror & yet they still find reasons to start them. ✌please*

“Yeah I dunno what happened, soldier, these guys came in and their heads were where their hands should be. Then the doctors got the same disease, no matter how much we put between them and the patient, you might wanna skip this hospital, sorry”

My friend's grandmother was a teen in occupied Netherlands in WWII, she had polio and had terrible sores, her family hid jewish families in their attic and when the Nazis came calling they would expose her scars and sore and caution them that she was contagious.... the Nazis always declined searching their home. She also would walk with a terrible limp, she would courier microfiches for the resistance and never got caught.

Similar to the way doctors eugene lazowski and stanislaw matulewicz found a method for faking out the typhus test, thereby saving at least 8000 jews in razwadow, warsaw, and surrounding villages.

One of those doctor - Giovanni Borromeo - was a chief doctor of one of the most important hospitals in Italy, Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Vatican City and the other (they were two) was his pupil, Adriano Ossicini. The K means Kesselring and Kappler, two of the most heinous Nazi soldiers, and it was a way to mock the Nazis while they were trying to save as many people as possible. Another Italian doctor responsible for saving a good chunk of people was Carlo Angela (his son and grandson are very popular science communicators and journalists) who gives refuge to some people in the mental institution he was director of. Italy is full of unsung heroes and yet we are now known for alt-right movements.

At my job the only people who could remote work are in Administration, HR, etc. I work at a company called Sorenson Engineering and most the employees are machine operators or quality control technicians. They operate machines that make tiny metal and plastic components for airplanes and other things; or they examine the pieces that are made to make sure they meet specifications. I'm a janitor so I cant remote work, not even during the pandemic. I was able to get out of The Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates by submitting a Religious Objection Form. So Covid-19 barely affected me besides the fact I had to wear those b******t face masks which got hot and dirty

The fact the used the letter K to further push the Nazis into believing it to be a purely Jewish disease is equally genius, intentionally done or not. Playing off their hate and using k (K**e, truly disgusting word. You want a fist fight in Israel, try and say that word. You'll get a well deserved beating) is perfect psychological warfare against the garbage people known as Nazis.

The ‘Weird Facts’ Instagram project eventually grew so large that its founder decided to branch out and create a trivia learning app. There are over 900 random, interesting, and genuine facts that you can learn and then wow your friends and family over dinner with. Some trivia might sound strange, true, but it’s all been double and triple-checked by ‘Weird Facts.’

Bored Panda has analyzed the topics of media literacy and how we can distinguish between true and false facts in quite a lot of detail before. Last week, I spoke to Steven Wooding, who is a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom, who elaborated on what kind of mindset a true, curious, impartial scientist ought to have.

 "Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," Steven told Bored Panda during an interview.

"We have to be open-minded to new facts and let data guide the way, rather than just what we think. On the other hand, we should also be critical of data. One experiment doesn’t make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over."

According to the researcher, the advent of internet newsfeeds and platforms like TikTok and Twitter has shortened our attention spans. As a result, we tend to have a lower tolerance for long-form content that requires more focus and energy from us.

"If you feel you are time-pressured, it’s probably only natural that you don’t want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it’s something that genuinely interests me," he said that on the one hand, we’re saving time, but on the other hand, we’re staying at a very superficial level of information.

"The negative impact is that we won’t reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven told Bored Panda.

"It’s essential to have a growth mindset and realize that you probably know very little. We can only gain more profound knowledge of the world by investing time in exploring it. This issue goes back to short attention spans, which gives us a broad, but shallow spread of knowledge. Take the time to read a book on a subject, and you are bound to learn more," the expert gave some advice, urging everyone to build their patience for content that isn’t just bite-sized.

Meanwhile, entertainment and pop culture expert Mike Sington from Hollywood explained to me that there’s a broad range of red flags we have to look out for that might indicate that a fact or a source might be unreliable.

"Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, ‘this can't be true,'" Mike told shared with Bored Panda.

"The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," the expert said that one basic thing we can do to check the reliability of a fact is… to start off with a simple and humble Google search. We should be on the lookout for additional sourcing and evidence. If we can’t find anything, we should remain skeptical.

"Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn’t make a claim true or accurate," he said.

an article from oct. 2021 : “physical wounds were healing, but the (post-traumatic stress disorder) is manifesting itself more all the time.”. The most beautiful is his response after accepting shooter's apology : “I am not God to make the decision to kill him or not. That’s not my decision. My decision is to be a better person and to change the world for every kid. I don’t want this to happen to anybody again. It hurts. It hurts. It really hurts. So, I am just going to keep going. That’s it.”

Mike said that sources like Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times can be considered to be trustworthy. "They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They’re basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can’t be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," he told Bored Panda.

"Our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds at a time because that’s the way information and entertainment is fed to us now. People get tiny bite-sized bits of news by scrolling a Twitter feed, they entertain themselves by scrolling quickly through Instagram and TikTok. It’s creating a habit that doesn’t have to be," he said.

"The good news is there’s plenty of long-form entertainment and news available, you just have to seek it out. I believe the benefit is worth it. I’ve discovered it improves your ability to focus, it’s more calming, you retain more information, and it gives you a more balanced and nuanced view of the world.”

I read a novel once which opens with a pony getting stuck in the sand at the beach. The owner and her mother end up going "oh well, whatcha gonna do", shrugging and going home, leaving the poor thing to its fate! Then when they come back the next day and find out someone else has rescued the poor animal and taken it away they actually have the gall to be upset about it. I was so infuriated I stopped reading and never finished the book.

At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. Although the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of their work are incorporated into Bluetooth and GPS technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi.This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

Charlie Brown and Franz Stiegler: The B-17 was heavily damaged and going down, but Brown was able to get it stable again. The german air field commander said that any pilot who shoots at parachutes will be executed, and Stiegler considered the barely flying plane as parachute. He flew so close the the machine that the AA batteries couldn't shoot without hitting Stiegler, and he signaled Brown to land - which he refused. Stiegler decided to escort them out of the hostile air space

A cafe in my area had this on the menu! I ordered it, of course, but it just turned out to be a hot chocolate with a huge wad of fairy floss dumped on top of the mug. Damn. (At least it was good fairy floss).

This was in South Africa. The railway worker trained him after he he lost his legs. The baboon was paid in brandy.

Saw a documentary about it. Tells a lot about our mad social media condition

Telling a lie is never good but perhaps the child was just trying to fit in. Sad that things like that happened but glad that Leno helped him out. Hopefully Leno told him about lying to people.

the likeness is incredible. I wonder if they reconstructed the face after meeting the Teacher?

Sad, lonely introverts... Such judgment. How about individuals who like to observe rather than act and join immediately. The human species thrives on finding patterns and experiencing new things, when in reality we are the novelty ourselves.

Honestly glad it wasn't a joke. That's punching down.

Man, imagine being so rich that releasing mosquitoes into an auditorium gets you praise. On a serious note, I love Bill. He's done so much with the Foundation.

Sweet, but ... but they were both bitter and mean persons. Henry Ford expressed he liked how germany was run in the thirties, being an antisemit as well, and Edison ... well, where to begin, where to begin ... has he ever invented anything himself, not just taking credit for what competitors and employees have come up with?

Also the sequel was filmed in the same house as the first movie - the director's house. But it looks different because he used his earnings from the first movie to add an extension and generally spruce the place up.

There are more Tigers privately owned in the US than there are in their natural habitats.

And if you freeze the bananas first, it will be the same consistancy of a Wendy's Frosty. Soo good with a drop of vanilla.

The school I teach at played another school (we're both state/public schools but the other school always acted like they were better than other state schools) and they beat the pants off us using this move set. (I had not taught my chess kids this move set as I wanted them to develop their own strategies.) The next time we played that school, I had taught them the counter to it, so the next time we won. The next season that school suddenly "didn't have time" to play chess matches anymore.
