Thanks I needed to learn how to sew a button back on.

The one about how long we have been at war was super misleading...

Wait they had actual KIDS play the Peanuts crew and not some adults doing kid voices? Noice

There were less than 300 American deaths in the Persian gulf war.

I came here to laugh at relatable, irrational, and unsupported posts. Not to get lernt.

#1 Coincidentally, Katy Perry ALSO made her debut in 1984!
Midgarmerc
The Toys R Us pricing one is kind of misleading. For example the NES for $140 in 1985 would be $321 in 2017
Midgarmerc
also the SNES for $170 in 1992 is $297.63 in 2017

How do I ask the FBI for my file?!

Lincoln died in 1865. Newspaper is dated 1866. Was confused AF until I saw "memorial edition."
BlueWolf94
When I read they "were proud" I got really confused until I realized too.

You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with nuclear weapons. Are you into midgets as well? I want to know if my condition is unique or what

To be fair... Shakira does sound like a goat.
TheFirstCurse
Her vibrator is set too high, that's why. I'd sound like fucking goat too
herostarwind
If you have concealed carry, check out an app called CCW on Android. Set a home state and it shows you what states honor your permit 1/2
herostarwind
2/2 As well as show you a states law for carrying. Can be handy if you travel. Not sure if it's available for iPhone
td2f
I love how it is all about wars and nuclear weapons and then just some random Shakira fact
iSoulend
Also the bob ross one just after a nuclear bomb post
LurkyMcLyrkin
Would love more information on the last one OP. what is it from and why is a word blurred out?
johnmcdracula
The blurred word is a racial slur. The lifeboat held survivors who were picked up later and they left the dead behind to float forever
LurkyMcLyrkin
Wow is that as bad as it sounds, or is that a typical thing?
johnmcdracula
Leaving the dead behind? Not sure actually. Maybe in this case since they were focused on survivors

Can we talk about the girl falling in the second picture?

A lot of fighting was done by non-Americans, if I recall. French and such.

US military casualties in Vietnam were 58,220, not 90,220.
NorthKoreabestKorea
It doesn't look as bad without context of the overall population at that time. That was basically all the war aged males across the country.
bobbus77
As an American, i'd really like to see percentage of total US population added to this. But not badly enough to do it myself

I've read 1984, I don't remember Elmo being in it
MisterDictionary
Remember the rats? Elmo. All Elmo.
orgeezuz
It's there. Ministry of Truth says so!
ntrabbit
Elmo has always been at war with Eastasia
iShouldBeWorking42
Better read it again just to be sure
dogenuggets
Or Katy Perry, who was born in 1984, and looks a little older in that picture.
toystory2wasok4
Elmo is watching

Katy Perry's boobs, you mean, right? Elmo knows.

Really... you never noticed that Elmo only uses Newspeak?
Its3amAndImFeelingSaucy
Elmo is big brother.
DigHat
Yeah, I'm just going to call the FBI and request the file they have on me. That doesn't look suspicious at all!
Loompafoo
It's the freedom of information act, but don't worry it'll all be redacted
Kresstro
Yeah. If they deny you just show them the meme.
Kazooski
I'm just curious what they have besides a couple parking tickets and like 2 violations? Do they know something I don"t know?
birthdaysuit
yes
thelorax12b
A complete history of your jobs, schools, places lived, taxes and banking info. Children and anything tied to your ssn generally
Kazooski
Neat, I could of told them that by my tax records alone.
Althekingsmen1
As someone who works for a school and has had multiple background checks unless there was something suspicious they probably wouldn't care.
Althekingsmen1
If you wanted what the NSA has on you that might be its own thing as to whether they even affirm they do or do not have information on you
Batmeh
It says you can request it, not that they will oblige.
warlord7
Isn't that covered under the FOIA?
samsonguy920
Depends when it goes into effect for each file. If you were to find one thing redacted in your file, it might be best to leave.
ArdentSlacker
Even when legally required to, they don't always. Which is odd. Because giving an incomplete account would be trivial. Minimum, a page 1+
ArdentSlacker
2+ with your basic info and under "suspicious details" state "requested this file on date:" And anything old and obvious. And one redacted
ArdentSlacker
3/3 segment with a note "privacy disclosures and ongoing investigations cannot be shared" or something similarly useless.

If a nuclear weapon goes off where I live, we all go kablooie. Where I live is adjacent to the Pantex Plant, final assembly point...1/2

...for all American nuclear weapons. Amarillo, Texas was once the number one target of the USSR.
711isAnInsideJob
It was mainly because they wanted to destroy the Big Texan and crush our morale
aRepost
Targeting Amarillo was more about disrupting supply lines. It wouldn't trigger more nuclear weapons to detonate.
slidewhistlesymphony
Pantex has bunkers holding fissile plutonium and uranium pits waiting to be incorporated into missiles. A properly placed large...1/2
slidewhistlesymphony
...nuclear explosion can bring these exposed pits to criticality, which is what the USSR was hoping for. 2/2
aRepost
Surely the pits would be stored separately. Or are you suggesting the shockwave from the initial blast would compress them into criticality?
Rifneno
1-Nuclear explosions are a super complicated process. It requires some of the most precise timing our technology is capable of. You can't

3-going off together. ... They'll totally puke out tons of deadly radiation though, so you might wish they had.
Rifneno
2-detonate nukes via another explosion. They aren't like conventional explosives. So don't worry about a domino effect of those nukes all
iShoot556
So are we just ignoring the Korean War?
boobcat
USA dropped more bombs on NK civilians inc'Napalm than the whole WW2 Pacific war. NK are scared of US to this day b/c the atrocities & bombs
iShoot556
Well that and you know, continued propaganda.

They figured it was documented extensively enough in MASH that it didn't need to be listed.

Amazing how Grenada lasted two years. I'm pretty sure it was over in three days.

There's a reason it's called the forgotten war.
justbecauseimparanoiddoesntmeanyourenotouttogetme
What about the fact that WW2 started in 1939!
JobbyJabber
Yes but at what point did America become involved?
bart2pl
yea but it's irrelevant since this is graphic that depicts US engagement in wars
justbecauseimparanoiddoesntmeanyourenotouttogetme
But the US didn't join in WW1 until 1917 - yet they have listed the corrrect dates 14-18 for that one....
bart2pl
wiki had wrong dates by the time this graphic was made ? one possible explanation

The beer in the freezer trick takes way longer than two minutes. At least 10-15 depending on how cold your freezer actually is.
BillyYumYum2by2
Well it's technically right- it will make it cooler. It just didn't specify that it will not be significantly cooler
ButtblasterMcAssmaster
Yep, I've tried this and it's barely faster than normal.
Reaper116
and has the risk of shattering the glass if it's sealed.
rfenton
Very true. I keep checking it, but I've never had it happen to me. If it goes from like "sat in the car" hot to the freezer, it's too risky
