If there's one thing I regret, is not bookmarking that Cognitive Thought stream, where he got a holocaust denier on, that just couldn't fathom the 6 million figure. He just thought it was impossible to kill that many people.

Cog literally had him take a random nazi camp from wikipedia, had him estimate how many people he thought could fit in a gas chamber at once, had him estimate how many gassing could have been done in a day, had him estimate how many days off for maintenance the facility could have needed, etc. At literally every possible step, he had the holocaust denier give or accept what he thought was a plausible figure, and then they put everything in a calculator. And it basically came up that that single camp would have been capable to do millions of killings by itself, with all the assumptions the holocaust denier himself made or accepted as reasonable.

Guess who quickly admitted they were wrong.

@WhiteTemplar Yeah I just checked. The Holocaust refers to the entire process by which Jews were targeted by Nazis, not even just the extermination part of it. You're going out of your way to make it a very specific thing so that you can deny it and then declare victory: "you didn't kill 6 million Jews by putting them in ovens or gas chambers! Then it didn't happen!" Except then it turns out that most historians who estimate how many Jews were killed by Nazis in the Holocaust, they include all kinds of things like being worked to death, or open air shootings, or having their property taken and then thrown into the street to die of exposure, and so on. They don't arrive at that six million number from gas chambers or from any particular killing method.

Really, you're just confirming what I already surmised before the conversation began: that you're invested in denying the Holocaust in particular. That you aren't invested in truth in the abstract. That any interest in history you might purport, is really just an interest in Nazi apologia and anti-Semitism. This isn't a good thing, not because anti-Semitism is the end of the world or because Not Sees are the devil, but because motivated reasoning like this is a bad look. You really shouldn't be so invested in this ideological crap

TFW you find an image you like, but you notice it was waifu2x-ed and it completely ruins it for you.

>why didn't nazis just starve the Jews
I don't know, why didn't they? Oh wait...

Have people never seen these kinds of pictures before? And this is just the couple few the mainstream media sources dare to display. God only knows what truly fucked up pictures there are out there, that no one shares publicly, so people don't lose their lunch.

Also, it's annoying as shit that any holocaust discussion devolves into "muh ebil juice". You do know there were other minorities that got fucked up, right? RIGHT?!

Apparently I did manage to start an entire "who can be the most retard" thread. Yeah, I'll definitely not gonna go through it, because there's way too much to even read, and some of it is just too retarded.
For instance: "there's no way the crematoriums they used to burn the bodies could be X times more effective than modern crematoriums!!!".
Once again, just plain ol' common sense would tell you that today's crematoriums are designed to just burn one body at a time. But what modern large scale manufacturing taught us, is that when you increase the production by A LOT, you suddenly become incredibly more efficient, then when you build something one item at a time.

Ok, I had a good laugh today. See you later anti-semites.

>Hitler was perfect guys, he totally cared about the lowly german that was barely smart enough to guard a door.
Yeah, sure. The peak eugenics guy cared about the lowest of the low, when his goal was to create a master race. Imagine actually venerating and idolizing Hitler.

Apparently Queen Elizabeth II of England has officially died. Rest in peace.

For the fedi brits, if your Queen does die (knock on wood that she'll be fine), be aware that there will be leftists/communists that will try to cease the opportunity to completely reform your political system.

How the fuck are game devs not learning their lesson in NOT tying up their engine physics to fps.

I seriously hate the fact, there is now an open debate on "quiet quitting".

First, it is posioning the well for any new employee who will want to work properly, since bosses will have a new reason not to trust them.

And second: You idiots are making it public. What part of QUIET do you not understand?
