    Nach meiner Erfahrung hat da sogar jemand korrekturgelesen.

  • ‘Man-made famine’ charge against Israel is backed by mounting body of evidence

  • As a German I wish that our government’s lesson from the Nazi regime wasn’t “No more hate against Jews”, but rather “No more exterminations of minorities”. It’s sad how timid our politicians are in condemning Israels actions. “The war against Hamas” stopped being “Self-defence” when Israel cut of gas, water power and food supplies to the whole population—which was well before the armed invasion.

  • The two most popular religions

  • No.

    According to Guinness World Records as of 1995, the Bible is the best selling book yet written with an estimated 5 billion copies sold and distributed. Sales estimates for other printed religious texts include at least 800 million copies for the Qur'an and 190 million copies for the Book of Mormon.

    Among non-religious texts, the Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, also known as the Little Red Book, has produced a wide array of sales and distribution figures—with estimates ranging from 800 million to over 6.5 billion printed volumes.

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has sold in excess of 120 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books of all time

    Yet even on Wikipedia’s list, that Harry Potter volume is only third place after A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

  • Instant messaging is more akin to speech than to writing, at least to me. Look at how colloquial the choice of words is; and how often you get multiple messages, because people type the messages as the thought enter their heads, as opposed to a thought-out statement like you would write down on a piece of paper, or any non-instant message format.

  • why waste time sleeping when you could waste it paying for your CEO's lambo

  • This isn’t new. The upside is that you can, for instance, practice playing the guitar in your sleep. Or work out. It makes a measurable difference.

  • Their fault. They removed all the real stressors but didn’t give us brains that can cope with not being stressed. Now we have to pull stress out of thin air—or grapefruit.

  • When the industry “overhires” how come games are always shipped with 3/4 of the promised features and buggy as hell?

  • *1900s. Max Planck famously pondered whether he should pursue physics or music and was told by his professor that Physics was “done except for a few minor details”. Planck then went on to invent quantum physics to screw over students the world over.

  • Do Sign Languages have puns?

  • This isn’t replacing a euphemism with another one. Dumb has a completely different meaning that’s not even close to ‘cannot speak’, while ‘mute’ conveys exactly that.

  • Me and my friends were still figuring out this new shooter. 20 seconds in, we were told we were on a quiet mission. Stealth was important. My friend was still testing what each key on his keyboard did.

  • When I first learned about this, I couldn’t believe the amount of stupidity that fits into people.

    Basically, California has stricter rules regarding the toxicity of products and requires manufacturers to warn about them. But only Californians. So instead of simply writing “This product may contain harmful chemicals”, they explicitly say “To residents in California: This product may contain harmful chemicals”. How is this any better?
