How do you sink a Polish ship?

Put it in water!

How did the Germans conquer Poland so quickly?

They marched in backwards and the Poles thought they were leaving!

Saw this ad on Facebook and the top comment was like “Chomsky is a Russian asset, he is the disinformation!”

This doesn't fit what you're looking for but I just randomly remembered a game that I had years ago on Nintendo GameCube called Odama.

It was a combination Samurai warfare / pinball game. You're commanding your army of samurais to like take an enemy stronghold, but the entire battlefield is a pinball machine (you control flippers with the shoulder buttons).

The army is controlled by voice so there's a GameCube microphone that clips onto your controller and you have to like shout into it "Go Forward!" or "Retreat" or other commands like that, while you use try to use the pinball to take out the enemies and avoid crushing your own guys with it. One of the most bizarre control setups for a game I've ever played.

People have literally answered you, and you would probably get even better engagement asking the question straightforwardly, instead of rhetorically, trying to insist that it isn't happening based on vibes.

I love that architecture, reminds me of pyongyang. Which city in Xinjiang is it?

Edit: I think it's Urumqi

I still haven't gotten around to reading it but I hear it's pretty unexciting. Did anything really stand out about it to you?

To be fair their complaint isn't that those words are being used about Hamas but that they aren't also being used about Israel, so it's not exactly incompatible.

I just googled that phrase and couldn't find the video.

Yeah I'm not and probably never will be in a position to be buying real paintings lol I looked it up more out of curiosity to see if I could find where it is located etc. In case you were wondering the painting is called Aggravation, by Briton Riviere (1896).

I want to buy that painting for my house (I don't actually have a house but for a hypothetical future house), it looks awesome, I checked into it and it appears to have sold at auction for £6,000 in 2010, guess I'll have to get a reproduction.
