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)

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)

6-year-old girl denied passport because she’s named after ‘Game of Thrones’ character
I'm just glad the parents named her that before the last season of GOT released.
Otherwise it would be even more concerning.

Not only that, according to his lore they also had psionic powers and could make stuff levitate.
Wonder if they were friends with the lost civilization on Mars (yes, he also believes this)...

If you need a stargate, there is one outside of Ashland, Ohio off of I-71.

Ugh don't you hate it when an active connection blocks the use of the stargate network for everyone.
Truly a 90s moment.

Yeah, very funny giving it such a cutesy name so you drop your guard but once you learn what it is actually called you won't be laughing anymore:
Japanese long-tailed bushtit

Dings and dents are just calibration marks if you lack ultrasonic distance sensors, sadly.
While the vision replacement has been getting slightly better I'll never forget the time where it told me that I'm lodged inside of a wall.

They used to be moderately common in the before times, like 2.5 inch IDE HDD times.
For added horror those often where Y cables, too.
