What is the grossest video on the internet?
Well, YouTube brings up a lot of fascinating stuff daily but you can also get pissed of by some disgusting stuff here on this biggest video sharing platform. I am listing 3 videos that I personally found too disgusting to watch complete versions. The Making of Hot dogThis one depicts the making of hot dogs and the complete process. During this video, I swore to myself that I' never touch them ever in my life again :D2. Pulling off Dead Toe NailI bet you can't even start this video.3. Stomach Worms (The most disgusting among the five)I honestly didn't know what on earth opossum was till I watched this video. I wasn't able to eat my meal graciously after I watched this video. You are warned already and watch at your own risk..
What if the Tiger II didn't have reliability issues?
There were fewer than 500 Tiger IIs produced: even if they were perfectly reliable, they’re slow, they’re heavy (which means crossing a river is either ‘find a bridge that can take seventy tons, which hardly any can’ or else ‘rig for snorkelling and find a crossing spot where the tank can both get in, and get out, of the river without bogging in while submerged’ - both difficult, time-consuming processes), they’re fuel hogs at a point where the Wehrmacht is critically short of petroleum products,And Germany’s existential problem is that if these miraculously-reliable Tiger IIs do somehow keep the Allies out of Berlin until mid-August 1945… then a heavily-escorted bomber of a new and (to the Germans) unknown type flies over Berlin at an unprecedented altitude, dropping a single bomb… which delivers twenty kilotons of instant sunshine. (‘Germany First’, remember?) Fat Man may be tasked for Germany if a target exists, or for Japan if not.The US can deliver a nuclear bomb a month to either Germany or Japan thereafter, plus the conventional devastation raining down from the USAAF by day and the RAF by night is getting to the point of “where can we bomb with military effect, rather than just bouncing and burning the rubble?” for the Germans.But, bluntly, even if Tiger IIs had been marvellously reliable, they were still massively outnumbered marginal assets. Like the Tiger I before them (more reliable, more mobile, more flexible, lighter, produced in three times the numbers) they might have killed some Allied soldiers and scared more but they wouldn’t have delayed the outcome significantly: they were just too damn big, slow and heavy to be able to get to where they were needed.That was the secret of the Sherman and the T-34: they were numerous, and adequate, and tactically and operationally (and, for the Sherman, strategically) mobile, which meant they could be at the point of decision in numbers while the Germans were still unbolting roadwheels and changing tracks to get Tigers onto flatcars to send them to where they were needed.
What is something an atheist will never understand?
I have a friend, who while not exactly a theist, says things like, “I REFUSE to believe that there’s no existence after death.” And that is the crux of what I don’t understand about religious belief - believing in something simply because it fits your sentiment.Sam Harris described it well. Imagine that your neighbor spends every Sunday digging a deep hole in his back yard. When asked why he does this, his response is, “I refuse to believe in a universe where there’s not a giant diamond buried in my back yard.” That rightfully sounds ridiculous, and it’s the exact thought process that believers undergo.I understand it to an extent. The idea of mortality and an aimless universe must cause a lot of existential dread in people. But that’s not how belief works. Not for me in any case. I’ll form my belief around the evidence, not about what fills me with comfort. In fact, I have no choice in the matter. That other people can simply choose to believe something because its explanation is convenient is bizarre to me.*EDIT* This seems to be invoking some disagreement from people. Their argument is that people believe in a lot of things without evidence, and religious belief is not special in that regard.. But that was only half my point. My point was that religious belief is the ONLY belief where people base their belief on what they WANT to be true. Hence the statement, “I refuse to live in a world where X is not true.”I challenge you to give me an example of another type of belief that is justified in such a way.*SECOND EDIT* After hearing some people’s comments and answers, I’ll concede that perhaps this type of rationalizing occurs in other areas.However, it’s the only area where we as a society looks the other way when such irrationality happens.
