Dunno where I was expecting that to go, but it was not where it ended up going. It’s actually hilarious.

I did a really stupid laugh at the punchline at like 1am, but thankfully nobody woke up from it.

I expected this to be some kind of an euthanasia ad

It would be nice to have elected officials who were born after the Battle of the Bulge.

I'm not american so the only Bulge I know is the one that furrys like to nuzzle

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago

only americans know about world war 2

[-] Pirasp@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

More like: Only Americans get taught so much about specific battles in school. Elsewhere the focus for WW2 lies more on what led to it and the like.

[-] VinnieFarsheds@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yes. The reason I learned about the Battle of the Bulge is from Battlefield 1942, not school.

[-] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

I learned way more history from video games then I ever learned from school

[-] Pirasp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

And I, not enjoying realistic historic shooters that much, have probably never learned anything about WW2 from videogames.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

my school didn't even focus on the battles besides a very basic timeline, no excuse

[-] Pirasp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, for you it may seem that way. For me other things you might have very little to no knowledge about seem like basic things everyone should know. It just so happens, that I don't specifically enjoy learning about moments in time where we were particularly intent on killing each other. My interest in history tends to be at the same time larger and smaller in scale, either following specific people or society in general.

I don't remember learning much about the Battle of the Bulge in school, except for the fact that it happened.

My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and he is who I learned all about it.

For those who don’t want to use Imgur or deal with the data here is the video/gifv

Imgur sucks completely, and doesnt work without enabling Javascript from like 10 origins. Mind sharing the actual image?

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago

Mind-sharing would be really nice.
