Reply to TIL: A family of 12 performers, 7 of whom were dwarves, all survived Auschwitz after being separated by Mengele. Several prisoners who survived claimed they believed they were hallucinating when they saw seven well-dressed dwarves passing by. by 0verlyAnxious
I can't believe the Nazis did that horrendous stuff and there are still people flying their flags. Absolute filth.

Reply to TIL Early Superman comics taught kids how to achieve super-strength through exercises in lifting armchairs, getting a super-grip, and achieving super-vision by glancing at distant and near objects repeatedly by Ok_Copy5217
One Punch Man type stuff. "lift a chair and look at something far away 100 times a day and you'll be as powerful as Superman."

Reply to comment by PacifistWarlord in TIL the legendary story about a janitor who came up with Flamin' Hot Cheetos was a lie. by Station_Emotional
Yeah. Like the guy that invented Doritos Locos Tacos for Taco Bell. They gave him full credit. No money, but full credit. He died of brain cancer and Taco Bell donated only $1,000 to his cancer fund.

Reply to comment by almighty_smiley in TIL The Rocky Horror Picture Show is still in limited release after 47 years making it the longest-running theatrical release in film history by shakeyjake
She got a lot of fame from it. Which is the usual reason actors sign on for low paycheck projects. So she got exactly everything she could have hoped for from the movie. You can't renegotiate a contract retroactively if something takes off.

Reply to TIL that a typical fire extinguisher only lasts seconds while continuously being sprayed. A 20 pound extinguisher can only be sprayed for 25 seconds. by rtpkickballer
One time my brother sprayed an old fire extinguisher at me because he thought it would be like TV: just covering me with whipped cream or something. It shot a burning powder straight into my eyes and mouth.

Reply to New York City health inspectors issued a disproportionate number of citations to restaurants serving Asian cuisine in the early months of 2020, finds a new study by a team of researchers by thebelsnickle1991
Why group "Asian food" together? Why not call Italian, French, and Spanish food "European food"? That's a little weird, isn't it? The average Japanese restaurant I've been to has been to cleaner than the average Chinese restaurant.

All of those places have terrible food lately. They keep decreasing the quality like we won't notice. It's not even worth it anymore.

Somebody said below "Guardians of the Galaxy", that has pretty similar vibes to Uncharted and it's linear and not too long.
