yeah but most remote areas aren't built in places with inherent ventilation issues It probably hasn't killed anyone yet so hot takes inside the thread. still seems like a bad idea to me! pygmy tyrant has issued a correction as of 03:31 on Jul 28, 2022 |

The main reason people live underground in Coober Pedy is because the summer is so loving hot. It averages around 36 celcius during summer (around 100 fahrenheit) whereas underground it's about 24 degrees year round. I went there once back in the 90s. It was kind of tacky but nice enough. There are no other western settlements around for hundreds of kilometres so it's hard to avoid.

The entire controversy around whether the Holocaust killed 6 million Jews, 11 million civilians, or nearly 20 million victims of German bloodlust is obscene and it grosses me out. Do yourself a favor and read the Wikipedia entry on the Holocaust one of these days, you have to get 75% through the entry before they talk about poles/Soviet pows/lgbt/Roma/etc (not counting a little vague blurb in the intro and a short section about “this is only Jewish victims and everyone else is just part of the Holocaust extended universe”)

It's honestly hosed up how little these things are taught. After graduating from highschool, which is more or less as much history an average person will be taught, I was only aware of the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide in the basest terms. Not a word about Churchill, or the Irish "famine", or any other relatively recent event.

I think it's an important question of historiography, and can be discussed in an appropriate way. But that article seems to be equating Nazi anti-Semitism with Palestinian anti-Semitism, which is a terrible comparison.

We have the pink triangle as a queer symbol because were going to the loving camps too but nobody seems to be able to remember that Let's not forget the books the Nazis really liked burning were sexology journals about queers and transes
