They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too...

But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.

I don't think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

You don’t think Europe wants our 19 year old whiz kids whose laptops overheat from processing excel files?

Well...hopefully they'll get chased. Just not for the same reasons.

I'm an ignorant American, what's the significance of the bull/ox?

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 83 points 1 week ago (8 children)

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.

Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

The bull that fathered the Minotaur was not Zeus, it was a gift by Poseidon who expected king Minos to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. The king kept the gift and sacrificed another bull, Poseidon got pissed and had the king's wife screw the bull, giving birth to the Minotaur.

You know, I watched that show Netflix canceled, with Jeff Goldblum, and so I'm like, hey, that's right! Sure, could've paid attention in school, but better Nate than lever.

Kaos is the show you’re thinking of.

The Longest Joke in the World is the Nate and lever reference (well worth the read).

Gather up your queens and kings. Time to make some more!

Not in America. Here, anyone can be a total asshole billionaire and purchased the entire country's political system if they so want.

Please please, also run to Canada, were closer by

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I'm worried that if there's war you guys will be affected as well. Running further seems more reasonable.

Feels bad to realize your profession isn't particularly useful outside of the U.S. I'd like to stay and fight regardless, but the reality is if I stop being able to get my meds there won't be much I can do besides being fodder.
