Please please, also run to Canada, were closer by

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

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

US will make Europe great again lmao

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.

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 hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.

If only there was something the American people could do about this.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But they’re holding signs up‽

That's how Americans exercise their 2nd amendment outside of their schools.

You really don't want us pulling out the ammo box. There's a good reason we are still trying the soap and jury boxes. Every single time we pull out the ammo box, as a people, the entire world is affected. We don't really like that.

1945-1959: Same as 1930s but the scientist guy is also a Nazi (and Hitler has a bullet hole lmao)

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 32 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 3 days 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 18 points 3 days 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.

Well that is a healthy family for sure

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (8 children)

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.
