Aktshually Article 20 subsection 4 of the German Basic Law gives me explicit leeway to shoot the Führer:

(4) All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available.

And on his birthday, too!

TIL kobolds in Japan are dog-people because of a mistranslation in a copy of AD&D in the 80s

Kobolds are originally just the "small folk" of German mythology with all of them being gnome-like but with varying degrees of hospitality. That's why you get your mine Kobolds, your Heinzelmännchen and your Klabautermann.

Bonus fact: Dog like Kobolds in DnD derived media are not exclusive to Japan, in the Everquest lore they are also dog like (and a bit hyena like, whereas gnolls here are fully canine)

The Worst TV Show Finales

I know people weren't exactly happy with the manga ending but... S2 is truly something to behold.

It is hard to convey to somebody who doesn't know the story just how badly they messed this up.

What they removed:

Fan favourite arc and characters.

Guns, lots of guns.

Literally god.

An entire civil war.

What they replaced it with:

"Martha? My mom is also called Martha let's end racism"

A PowerPoint presentation (half the last episode is a slideshow)

Wonder if they were friends with the lost civilization on Mars (yes, he also believes this)...
