What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Fascists love forcing women to have births and they also love splitting up families.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 80 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Apparently, the women volunteered, although there were some who were pressured into it.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

Most were pressured. They'd get this dumb medal (sound familiar?) and were stuck with a kid they didn't want.

According to German Social Theorist, Theodore Adorno, Fathers abdicating responsibility was a big part of Hitler's rise to power, and part of why he was called Furher.

So Anni-Frid's mother disappeared after giving birth to her? Did she ever find her or was her Mama MIA?

You son of a bitch.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

Seriously? That's incredible.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I’d imagine that would be something to deal with.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Fascinating read

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then sending those "perfect" children off to die in their many wars.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (3 children)

How would that have happened? Nazi Germany only existed for 12 years...

[–] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 85 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nazi Germany only existed for 12 years...

That was not part of the original plan.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Their original plan was to have eternal peace after world domination and genociding away all other cultures. Many wars was really never the plan although in reality that would‘ve looked very different of course. You can‘t force a world order under one fascist regime for very long. People would have revolted constantly and the Nazis would‘ve tried to answer in the only way they knew how until the whole thing collapsed. It was doomed to fail but the plan really was long lasting peace after the one war, not endless wars.

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 24 points 1 month ago

That's like 3 times as long as the Confederacy, right?

My family was from the North, but my dad was in the Army when I was a kid, and we bounced around to several bases in the South. When I got older, and talked to my parents about the Civil War, they were always adamant that the Southerners they'd known had never really surrendered, and truly believed that "The South Will Rise Again."

I thought it was just talk, but apparently not. Southerners were holding onto that dream for better than 150 years.

The headline implies that the mother would birth the child, then mom and dad would shake hands, while the baby towled off, threw on a diaper and a cap, and marched out of the room.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, i read it and immediately thought of a baby walking down a dirt road with a bindle, like the end of the hulk tv series.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I was imagining a top hat and twirling a cane

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Hello my baby, hello my honey

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I actually did a quick google to see if I could find the style of hat I was imaging. Something between a fedora and cowboy.... A Newsies cap I suppose would also work.

"Hasta la vista, baby."

[–] Fortatech@gregtech.eu 18 points 1 month ago

They also took children that looked arian from occupied territories to be given as foster children.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

basically the premises of the 2nd SPECIES movie, where the alien infected astronauts just wants to breed(like elon) and just leave them after that.

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I heard about that in Man in the High Castle

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Came here to post this, OP trying to look smart

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

But you didn't. And not only does the first half of your comment contribute nothing to the conversation, but your second half is just outright disrespectful.

Please refrain from both aspects of such commentary in the future. They're not conducive to good discussion in this community.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

The state being your family is terrifying.

[–] PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Boy what a poorly written page!
