  • Yes, and since we'll never have understood everything there will always be magic :)

    Who is your hero from history?

  • Churchill. Without him it's not unlikely that the UK would've accepted Nazi Germany's peace offer.

  • Im frühen 20. Jhdt haben sich einige reiche Juden zusammengeschlossen um im Nahen Osten im „gelobten Land“ Land zu erwerben. Dieses Land war jedoch nicht unbewohnt, man kann es sich ca. so vorstellen wie wenn bei uns im Mittelalter jemand von einem Burgherren Land erwirbt um darauf zu leben, ohne die dort lebenden Bauern nach ihrer Meinung zu fragen.

    1948 haben sie dort Israel gegründet, nachdem sie die dort ansässige Bevölkerung vertrieben hatten (legalerweise, denn ihnen gehörte dann ja das Land, aber trotzdem natürlich mit hohem Konfliktpotential). Am Tag der Staatsausrufung erklärten ihnen alle umliegenden Staaten den Krieg, wobei sich die Israeliten wacker schlugen und erstaunlicherweise nicht nur den Angriff abwehren, sondern sogar das Kriegsglück wenden konnten und letztendlich mit Landgewinnen Frieden schlossen. „Frieden“.

    Seitdem ist dort immer wieder Krieg mit mal längeren, mal kürzeren Friedensphasen. So war zB in letzter Zeit, bis Oktober 2023, eine ruhigere Phase, aber nachdem Israel mit (wenn ich's recht im Kopf habe) Saudi-Arabien dem Abschluss von Verträgen für verstärkte Zusammenarbeit immer näherkam, wurde der Iran aktiv: Nach einem derartigen Abschluss hätten Israel und Saudi-Arabien disproportional viel Einfluss auf den Nahen Osten gehabt, weshalb der Iran die Hamas massiv unterstützte, damit diese in Israel einfällt und das Land soweit sestabilisiert, dass ebenjener Abschluss ins Wasser fällt.

    Und seitdem ist dort wieder eine heiße Phase.

    Zusammenfassend: Es geht um Macht. Wie bei jedem Krieg. Speziell um die Einschränkung israelischen Einflusses und die Prävention einer iranischen Einflussminderung.

  • Euouae

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euouae

    Euouae (/juː.ˈuː.iː/; sometimes spelled Evovae)[1] is an abbreviation used as a musical mnemonic in Latin psalters and other liturgical books of the Roman Rite. It stands for the syllables of the Latin words saeculorum Amen, taken from the Gloria Patri, a Christian doxology that concludes with the phrase in saecula saeculorum. Amen. The mnemonic is used to notate the variable melodic endings (differentiae) of psalm tones in Gregorian chant.

    In some cases, the letters of Euouae may be further abbreviated to E—E.[2] A few books of English chant (notably Burgess and Palmer's The Plainchant Gradual) make use of oioueae for the equivalent English phrase, "world without end. Amen".

    According to Guinness World Records, Euouae is the longest word in the English language consisting only of vowels, and also the English word with the most consecutive vowels.[3] As a mnemonic originating from Latin, it is unclear that it should count as an English word; however, it is found in the unabridged Collins English Dictionary.[4]

  • For Republicans, truth is... honestly overrated

    Jump

  • Ah ty, I thought they meant that the republicans said it, which - even when considering how surreal some of their takes are - would have surprised me.

    Btw while I'm at it: I never got how half of the USA can ignore all these things and vote for Trump, but this article captured it very well (got recommended to me on Lemmy)

    https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about

    To all US-americans out there: please remember that the only realistic way to stop Trump is by voting for Harris.

  • Letters to the Editor: Your 'protest vote' for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald Trump

    Jump

  • indirectly

    Say there are 9 voters. Four vote for Trump. Five heavily disagree with Trump (more than Trump's four supporters). Three of them vote for Harris, two refuse to vote. Then these two people helped Trump since he's winning now.

    It works exactly the same on a much larger scale.

  • But does the artist get 100% of the credit? Ignoring copyright for now, this is just a thought experiment, who's getting how much credit?

  • Karl Habsburg currently would be the emperor. But obviously he simply has the same rights as any other citizen (doesn't even have a "von" anymore), as it should be, so he isn't politically relevant

  • Then minister of inner affairs Herbert Kickl (who is now likely to become chancellor)

    Is he? Every single party has said they will not be forming a coalition with Kickl.

    My bet is that either the FPÖ drops Kickl (which is possible but unlikely since he brought them their best result in all of their history, 29%), forming a coalition with the ÖVP (People's Party), or they refuse to drop him (more likely) and the ÖVP forms a coalition with the SPÖ (social democrats) and NEOS (economically right (less regulation), else left).

  • Another thought experiment: If I hire an artist and tell them exactly what they should draw, which style they should use, which colours they should use etc does 100% of the credit go to the artist or am I also partly responsible?
