I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It was inspired by the L'obelisco della Minerva in Rome and Carlsberg had swastikas on their beer bottles until 1945.

is that the case that it's actually something neutral or are those part of the same kind of proto-nazi undercurrent that were happening all over Europe in the interwar period, where while not technically nazi they had all the same opinions and were drawing from the same pool of putrid "european suncross" pool as the nazis were and which are now being used all over europe by barely-crypto-fash people trying to excuse their use of a not-actually-a-swastika-but-almost-exactly-like-a-swastika swastika?



Walked around in an older part of stockholm the day we officially joined nato and saw swastikas on a old door, stopped and took a picture and my coworker was like "found another" and pointed up towards a balcony were someone were flying a nazi ahem i mean a nato flag

I was there just the other day and the house where the owner used to live is practically covered in swastikas.
Apparently it was like an architectural meme back in the day.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
can't find a good youtube video after a brief search, but I remember watching one about the swastika pre WW2 and the west used them loving all over products and logos for probably 100 years. It's obviously an eyesore to us now, but they were just considered a "good" symbol before the nazis

Dublin had this laundry service



Weirdly, it was established in 1912, and used these electric vans to do laundry deliveries.

Also weirdly, they kept the name and logo in some capacity into the 1980s.

That stirred an old memory of a friend who was studying law. They were told to always watch out for their clients getting offended by having their statements challenged because it was a huge red flag for the opposing side.

There was some saying for it, like 'honest people want to be seen as honest, dishonest people hate being seen as dishonest" or something like that, only pithier. And making more sense.

Woah, that's our most beloved institution and inventor of beer you're talking about! I mean, you're right, but that's beside the point! Carlsberg, the founder was involved in isolating yeast for beer brewing. His involvement may have included theft.

spent twenty minutes trying to find how to order a pizza ahead of time at sams club, realized i had to download the app, then had to spend another 10 minutes trying to find where they'd loving hidden the cafe poo poo in the loving app. it's in the scan and go menu which the loving app only lets you access when you are in the store, so you cannot order ahead of time before you actually get there. it's so loving inane.
