Are most insects (and shrimp for that matter) actually able to feel? I mostly heard they are best described as automatons, like low-level robots made by nature. My roomba might have higher “brain” function than a cicada, but I don’t know about newer studies.

The “Socialist” in the NSDAP is only a honeypot so they could claim ground and voters who leaned socialist without much thought (“I’m a mill worker like my father before me, we have always voted socialist. Buuut that National-Thing sounds nice”). Same with the “A” which stands for “Arbeiter” (Workers).

There’s the same with the conservative party (CDU = Christdemokratische Union, Christ-Democratic Union) today. Lots of old people say “I’m a christian and that party has a C for ‘Christianity’ in its name.” In fact, their regional party in Bavaria, the CSU is more conservative. And you have three guesses what their “S” is for.

Thanks for the spontaneous nostalgia trip. I was playing it, or rather its sequel, in the 2000s after I got it from a magazine.

There’s a HD Version of Seven Kingdoms 2 on Steam. I think I might grab it.

He’s also thinking European.

There’s more shenanigans with “umfahren” and “umfahren”, where Intonation matters. One means “drive around”, the other “run over”.

Common missconception: people didn’t just die in their thirties, the average is brought down somewhat hard by lots of infant death, childbirth complications and the like.

@Prunebutt says it right, it’s the advancements in medicine, but thats more reactively treating diseases than proactively lengthening the lifespan.

Same shit with bikes. Is the rider part of the bike or not?

Huh, look at that. Thanks.

Gaius Iulius Caesar never only briefly was a Governor but more known as a Consul before … Well Caesar.
