A thread for nothing

[jimmy jazz]

I only found this out somewhat recently (past few years) but Bayern Munich used to have the Nazi swastika on their crest during the years 1939-1945.



It nearly blew my head off when I found out. For our American forumistas who might not understand the significance of this it would be like the Yankees or Lakers changing their logo to a swastika.

Doing some reading the club claims they were forced otherwise they'd not be allowed to exist but I think that's nonsense.



Perhaps unsurprisingly, you can't find anything on their official website about this.

I found out recently that women on their period aren't allowed into thai temples. They view the act of shedding the uterine lining as impure.

In a particular moment, I meant to send you a PM @degrassi.knoll but I can't remember if I sent it. I definitely typed it out. If you just haven't had the time to respond I understand obviously.

This isn't an annoying thing people say, so it wasn't right for that thread - but something that annoys the absolute fucking shit out of me is the loud abrupt 'chirp' alarm sound smoke detectors make when they're out of battery. It is quite possibly the most annoying sound in the entire fucking universe and I very well might prefer to risk myself dying by burning to death in a fire than hear that infuriating fucking sound another time in my fucking life. And of course it always happens at fucking night when you're trying to sleep - and of course it always happens when you you're fresh out of 9V batteries. Fuck me!

Yes, they've done a good job finding that infuriating pitch that cuts through anything and is impossible to ignore. They did their job, I guess 😄

Our alarms should last for 10 years and we're only halfway into that (nest protect alarms).

I don't think it's impossible to ignore. You know how many houses I have visited and people just let it chirp away like it is nothing. I always bring it up. Hey maybe change your battery but they don't.

Really good post and point.

Is it in your building?

It was in my apartment. Specifically in my bedroom where my wife was trying to sleep after a rough day. So I took that battery out and replaced it with a battery from one of our other smoke detectors. Then I found a 9V battery in our junk drawer - but it must've been a dead one because the damn thing kept chirping. I ended up playing musical smoke alarm batteries until the one that didn't have a battery was the one furthest from our bedroom so I had a chance of fucking sleeping.

I'd say it's impossible to ignore if it's near where you sleep though. If it's like, in your basement or something, then yeah, you could let it chirp for a bit. But otherwise, I think you'd have to be a psychopath to live with it for an extended period of time.

Yeah, it did it's job alright.

In my apartment building, there is one in the hallway outside of the upstairs neighbor apartment door and they never change it. They just let it chirp away. It's annoying enough that I hear it in my apartment so I know they can hear it in theirs but they won't change it.

Two of the Spice Girls are in their 50s.

The other three are 49, 48 and 48.

Where does the time go?

It is pretty surreal realizing that the mid-90s, years I have concrete memories of living through, were around three decades ago and almost everyone who was famous or publicly known at the time is at least in their mid 40s.

My formative years are probably being talked about in history textbooks.

Oh god.

I figure 9/11 and Obama being the first black president is being taught in textbooks but I wonder what else
