Marx did actually consider human nature

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
“The truth is always stronger than the lie.”

One is a quote made by Joseph Goebbels,
the other is a paraphrase of a paraphrase

with the “In British culture” part missing.

Guess which one is which.

(P.S. I disavow German fascism.
It’s just the more I learn about the US or UK,
the more I’m surprised that fascism took hold in Germany… (first.))

Not that obscure, but most orange cats are male since the orange gene is tied to the x-chromosom, so male cats only need one copy to appear orange. Female cats have to have the orange gene on both x-chromosom to be fully orange.

And usually only female cats can be calico/tortoise since the orange gene is co-dominant, so if they only have one copy of the orange gene both the orange and black will be visible.

A seemingly male calico/tortoise cat is usually intersex and sterile.

Eric Blair was a Trotskyist who wrote
Animal Farm and 1984 to spite Stalin,
as Stalin turned on Trotsky,
as Trotsky was a one-world-government proponent,
(with Moscow as its capital),
with the argument that capitalist nations would do anything
to isolate and destroy socialist nations,
whereas Stalin thought that socialism would bring the
Soviet Union enough success to defend itself.
This had far-reaching consequences for
Eric Blair who was participating in the
Spanish civil war of 1936 to 1939,
having joined the Trotskyist resistance group
and saw the Stalinists resistance group turn on them
and outright attacked them.

I don’t exist. I had a meeting and voted. It was unanimous.

The origin of the name ‘Amerigo’ Vespucci is ‘Emmerich’ in German. So the namesake of a contintent is a very demure provincial city close to the German/Dutch border.

The word “America” does not come from Amerigo Vespucci, but is likely an amalgamation of
the Mayan word “Amerristiquiqque” for “land where the wind blows constantly”, which is the name of a mountain range in Nicaragua, and the Spanish word “Rica” for rich, like in “Costa Rica” (Rich Coast) as Spanish sailors would ask Carib Amerindians where their gold came from.

The smallpox blankets event where a couple of blankets laced with smallpox were knowingly gifted to Native Americans happened before germ theory existed. The plan was based on miasma theory.

The first iteration of the baptist church was a militaristic commie org. That took over a small town.

You can speeddrift on the top of the tube on Purple, a classic Trackmania fullspeed map, and continuing the SD from the top to the next section without cutting it but with a little overdrift alows you to set World Record if done correctly

the reason you fart and shit at the same time is because shit and air is coming out of your ass

Stephen Jay Gould, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard, testified in defense of evolution at a trial in Arkansas then was on the same plane as Bill Clinton during Clinton’s interregnum between governorships. Clinton said he “would have vetoed that bill”, meaning the bill mandating equal time for creationism.

What follows is a guide on how to hurt your hand. No not do it. Do not “do it just a little bit”. I actually strained my hand when I first discoverd this and honestly dont want anyone hurt because of my comment:

Diamonds aren’t stable and will eventually, over billions of years, decompose from their cubic molecular structure to carbon’s more stable form, graphite, which has a hexagonal molecular structure.

Oh, here’s another good gemstone related one!

Amethyst and citrine are both quartz varieties, and if the color source happens to be from traces of iron in the crystal lattice, one can be turned into the other. Heating amethyst can make citrine, and irradiating citrine can turn it into amethyst. This is because the only actual difference between the two is the valiance level of a specific election in the iron atom giving the stone its color.
