Collateral Damage posted:You mean those who haven't trashed their useless, expensive inkjet and just gotten a cheap b/w laser. Toner isn't cheaper, but at least it doesn't go bad when you haven't printed anything for a month. The price per page is a little cheaper. As an added bonus toner doesn't run if the page gets wet.

Jabor posted:The idea is that if there's a sniper watching, the flare from the first cigarette will catch his attention, and once he has his rifle pointed that way the later ones will give him a shot. The sniper already knows what general direction your trench is, so him seeing the first flare and then nothing else doesn't actually give anything. As I have heard it, the snipers in World War 1 not only knew the direction of your trench but the ranges of various points on it. So the first light told him there was someone to shoot at, the second gave him time to check the wind, and the third guy didn't get to smoke his ciggy.

No, it gives you a squirt of orange juice that makes the toothpaste taste really gross.

More oddly - the idea that eating carrots improves your eyesight was British propoganda in WW2 to hide the fact they had invented radar to detect incoming bombers. A bullshit that modern bloggers repeat to this very day... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/24-carrot-eyesight/

The sniper already knows what general direction your trench is, so him seeing the first flare and then nothing else doesn't actually give anything. It's also an obsolete notion in a world where cigarettes themselves emit light. If there's a sniper around walking around with a stick in your mouth that has a little glowing ember on the end of it's a good way to get shot regardless of how many cigarettes you lit with that match. On a moonless night, with night-adjusted eyes you can see a candle flame at over a mile away; a cigarette ember's going to be visible out to probably at least a couple hundred meters to the naked eye, let alone someone with an optic. (Also, there are no references to this myth until after the first world war ended.)

There are references before the 1st world war, in 1894 Mexican soldiers believed it to be unlucky for the same reason. Although the only written references to the idea take place after the end of the war in 1919 it's written about is such a way as to assume everyone would already know it was unlucky. The quote being quote:Why should we be superstitious? Three on a match, or a black cat crossing the road in front of us, or looking at the moon over the left shoulder, have not altered results in anyone's case. This means it was common knowledge in 1919 that it was unlucky, just like a black cat was. It would not be unusual for superstitions of the fighting men in the trenches to not be written about as at the time, no one really cared about them or thought them important.

One of the UK's (many, many, *many*) class shibboleths was that someone holding a cigarette between their fingers was officer-class, and someone holding it between thumb and forefinger, especially cupping their hand around it, was working class/other ranks, because soldiers and sailors on guard duty/stand-to/deck watch (inevitably ORs) were taught to cup their hand around their fag both to help disguise the glow (from the NCOs as much as the enemy, because yes, smoking on watch was forbidden as far back as the Boer War) and to protect their night vision.
