If you're interested in reading an actual in-depth history of the US nuclear program though, Command and Control is an excellent and horrifying read.

My favorite part was how we sent our old outdated non-safety-interlocked bombs over to non-English-speaking European countries with only English instructions.

So the air crews there just kinda winged it on the loading and unloading procedures until some American inspectors went over several years later to find that the first step of the unloading procedure they used daily was to pull the pin which armed all the fuses in the weapon.

Come on now. Guy Fieri is a sweet guy who goes around being nice, showing actual passion and is super encouraging to the people he works with. Like as weird as his persona is, he is literally the nicest person in the business.

Just cause the dude likes fried food doesn't make him a petty amoral douchebag like Trump.

Like the dude wouldn't be a good president but saying he is the same as Trump is just so loving mean.

Anything can be hate code if you make it a hate code. If someone says "friend of the family" means "friend of the family" then you have a whole forum saying "friend of the family" over and over all day it is still racist even if the word it's changed to wouldn't otherwise be.

Equating a character from an internet comic about frogs and piss jokes with a cultural gesture that has been around for more decades than you and me put together seems reasonable.

They aren't really lies, they're all just agreeing that when they make the "okay" hand gesture they're really saying "white power" so whenever some alt-right shithead does it they're all in on the joke.

Nazis don't do things in good faith. 4channers speak out of both sides of their mouth. When the news notices the phenomena it is a "hoax" but sarcasm, irony, and hoaxes have a strange way of becoming ironclad sincerity with frog nazis. The swastika meant lots of things for thousands of years and so did the OK gesture but that doesn't really have a huge bearing on what it means today.
