  • nuclear weapons have no strategic or tactical military applications

    They very much do. Nukes can be fine-tuned pretty well regarding blast radius, radiation intesity and duration of effect. Someone dropping a huge bomb on a city is how everyone pictures the start of a nuclear war but tactical missile strikes on military equipment and infrastructure would be much more likely. It’s extremely difficult to destroy fortified military structures with conventional weaponry.






  • People say all kinds of things yet France remains an incredibly popular holiday destination. It’s mostly tsundere bickering. French people can be arrogant but honestly not nearly as much as the Dutch and they get zero shit for it. And the other stereotypes like being romantic, liking good food or having a knack for arts aren’t actually negative if you think about it. They just get overexaggerated.



  • I’m German and our way of counting is genuinely stupid. 121 would translate to “onehundred one and twenty”. You’d think it’s just a matter of practice but errors related to mixing up digits are statistically more common in German speaking regions. Awesome when it comes to stuff like calculating medication dosages and such. Like it’s not a huge issue but it’s such an unneccessary layer of confusion.
