there are 8 sexes but the 6 other than male and female only count as three-fifths of a gender, biologically speaking

I think the consensus on that story is "FAKE"

it was a good thread tho

There's definitely a legit article out there where the writer describes realizing in the middle of a jo sesh that a very famous porn star is the foster sister his family lost contact with when she was 12, but I'm not googling for it because I'm in a breakfast joint having pork belly & eggs

the USA also experimented with putting tiny incendiary suicide belts on bats and releasing them over japan to go and roost in the wood-framed buildings, where they would later explode and start fires

quote:

Louis Fieser, the inventor of military napalm, designed 0.6 ounce (17 g) and one ounce (28 g) incendiary devices to be carried by the bats. A bat carrier similar to a bomb casing was designed that included 26 stacked trays, each containing compartments for 40 bats. The carriers would be dropped from 5,000 feet (1,525 m). Then the trays would separate but remain connected to a parachute that would deploy at 1,000 feet (305 m). It was envisioned that ten B-24 bombers flying from Alaska, each carrying a hundred shells packed with bomb-carrying bats could release 1,040,000 bat bombs over the target of the industrial cities of Osaka Bay.

A series of tests to answer various operational questions were conducted. In one incident the Carlsbad Army Airfield Auxiliary Air Base (32°15′39″N 104°13′45″W) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, was set on fire on May 15, 1943, when armed bats were accidentally released.[5] The bats incinerated the test range and roosted under a fuel tank.

the story i always heard about that one was that they trained the dogs using soviet tanks, which have diesel engines and sound and smell different from the gasoline-powered german ones, so in the first attempt at using them in combat the dogs ran under the russian tanks and it was a big disaster.

that always sounded too much like a screen-door-in-a-submarine story to be believable though.


this one was real and it got run over by a taxi the first time they deployed it
