A Little Bit of Everything

No, wait, seriously. Wasn't there some real conflict where America was running ice cream to the men on the front lines, and it fucked with the morale of the other side, or even intimidated them by having a supply chain so robust it supplied luxuries?

I remember reading accounts from German soldiers from WWII, on, "When did you know that Germany was going to lose?" One soldier recounted how he found a dead American soldier after D-Day, and went through his things, and saw that this enlisted man had coffee, chocolate, and cigarettes on him; in the German army, those were luxuries, only afforded to the officers. But if just your average American soldier had that...

Which reminds me of another German soldier's story: During D-Day, he was sent to spy on the American landing force, to see how many horses and veterinarians they had, to determine their logistical capabilities. Only to discover that the Americans had no horses or veterinarians; their entire army was mechanized. And that's when this particular soldier realized that Germany didn't have a chance.

There's a story of a German guard for a POW camp who knew that the war was lost whenever a POW's family sent him a whole cake with frosting to him.

I heard an apocryphal story of a Japanese general who realized they were screwed screwed when he learned the americans had a ship just to make ice cream.

The thread is back! Those were the stories I wanted. The ones where chocolate and ice cream freaked out the enemy. The other additions are nice too.

Happy 4th of July, everybody!

On this date in 1776, America unfollowed England.

Happy birthday to every American. I cant believe we were all born 241 years ago when Benjamin Franklin smote the ground and George Washington appeared fully formed on his horse, and the three of them - Washington, Franklin, and the horse - conducted the entire revolution by themselves

And now it’s 250 years! Happy Birthday America! 😊🇺🇸

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

And this is why my students look at me as though I’m the devil when I try to tell them that no i’m not lying this really is a thing

IT’S ‘COULDN’T CARE LESS’ NOT ‘COULD CARE LESS’ IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THAT MEANS YOU CARE

I laughed so hard

this is one of the many “best”

Fun Fact: It was this show that invented re-runs! What a great classic!

Forgot for a second that Sokka is truly the character of all time because he truly just did all that with no powers, no money and no responsible adults around. Like he organised a schedule that made it possible for the avatar to learn everything in a year, freed nations, learnt a dozen different types of weapons and art forms planned multiple prison breaks, revolutions and actual invasions with nothing but a flying bison, the worlds most powerful children and a boomerang. Coffee was invented for him and for him alone.

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

FUCK this post and happy birthday sonic

Ten Years Of Ppl Who Celebrate Fictional Character Birthdays Are Annoying Pass It On

I feel like this also implies that rome is somehow being destroyed by the end of the day

The Emperor Constantine loves Finius and Ferbingetorix's "New Rome" so much that he makes it his new capital and names it after himself.
