British and Americans would hang him for his many crimes

is a weird way to spell

British and Americans would make him an integral part of their political structure

Nazis didn't actually know that Operation Paperclip would happen yet at the time, but they did massively prefer surrendering to the western allies. Germans had built up such a fear of the Red Army (largely due to their own racism and propaganda) that civilians committed suicide en masse.

In Demmin where the Wehrmacht and police blew up bridges and deliberately trapped citizens in the town, people began randomly killing others and then themselves in the street and families began drowning themselves in the river. There are accounts from some Red Army soldiers that dove in and tried to save children whose parents were drowning them.

They might not have known for sure but enough of them stashed bargaining chips in mine shafts and other hidey-holes that they must've had some idea that the western allies would be open to some form of partnership

They took Better dead than Red really seriously.

Piglet is briefed by the CIA before being shipped off to the School of the Americas where he will teach torture interrogation techniques to Central American contras under the assumed identity Porky Pig. Despite numerous cosmetic surgeries, Piglet could never get rid of his stutter.

[–] mang0@lemmy.zip 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

A coincidental layer of the joke is that Piglet's Swedish name is "Nasse", which means nazi in Swedish.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In Norwegian as well: en nasse = a Nazi, Nasse Nøff = Piglet

wow Norwegian and Swedish are the same yet again? definitely distinct languages, guys!

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, Scandinavian is a dialect continuum with three (or I guess four?^[Nynorsk is a written standard without much of a spoken equivalent.]) Dachsprachen: simultaneously all three are close enough that they could be counted as one language (and sometimes are, I believe the Nordic Council does this), at the same time as all three languages have so much internal variation that you have to question whether there really are only three languages. Pronunciation especially can hinder spoken communication.

Either way, in this case it's slang and character name localizations, which can be a lot more variable between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian than things like the Swadesh 207. Norwegian does borrow a lot of slang from Swedish but not all of it catches on.

We also sometimes call nazis "pigs" in english as a reference to the fact that they're dirty animals! Love how language works sometimes.

(Joking aside, that actually is a really fun language fact thank you for sharing)

Unironically me when it comes to Pooh.

Hes super cute, ok? catgirl-happy

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

Even as a kid Pooh was too cutesy for me. But i'm not gonna ruin it for others. I'd probably really enjoy it now. He's named after one of the worst cities in Canada tho. Winnipeg

[–] miz@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

apple pie, baking cookies

sugar, the most socially acceptable drug

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm almost certain that is the song name of a 90s straightedge band on Ebullution Records

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

If pooh is so innocent why is he wearing a shirt but no pants

Completely inaccurate he just needs to lay low and he may head NATO in a couple years.

As a kid I was really confused on the gender of both piglet and rabbit. Are they both guys?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

They're whatever gender you want them to be. Crucially they're trans though, like all fictional characters.

"The Unwritten" has a great sub-plot with a dark knock-off of the 100 Acre Woods: https://shelfdust.com/2025/06/25/a-clock-that-has-been-over-wound-the-unwritten-12/
