“Elmer Bendiner was a B-17 navigator during WWII. He tells the story of a bombing run over Kassel, Germany, and the unexpected result of a direct hit on their gas tanks. “Our B-17, the Tondelayo, was barraged by flak from Nazi antiaircraft guns. That was typical, but on this particular occasion our gas tanks were hit. Later, as I reflected on the miracle of a 20 millimeter shell piercing the fuel tank without touching off an explosion, our pilot, Bohn Fawkes, told me it was more complicated. On the morning following the raid, Bohn asked our crew chief for that shell as a souvenir of our unbelievable luck. The crew chief told Bohn that, in addition to that shell, another 11 were found in the gas tanks. Eleven unexploded shells where only one was sufficient to blast us out of the sky. It was as if the sea had parted for us. A near-miracle, I thought. Even after 35 years, this awesome event leaves me shaken, especially after I heard the rest of the story from Bohn. Bohn was told that the shells were sent to the armorers to be defused. The armorers told him that Intelligence had then picked them up. They couldn’t say why at the time, but Bohn eventually sought out the answer. Apparently when the armorers opened each of those shells, they found no explosive charge. They were clean as a whistle and just as harmless. Empty? Not all of them! One contained a carefully rolled piece of paper with a scrawled message in Czech. The Intelligence people scoured our base for a man who could read Czech. Eventually they found one to decipher the note. It was amazing! Translated, the note read: “This is all we can do for you now. Using Jewish slave labor is never a good idea.”

The drawback of linux mint is 'nemo sucks' but on the bright side you can just run a different file viewer\browser
reddit user tankeatscthulhu says: There are some weird, apparently machine specific issues with mint cinnamon, some of which the mint team haven't even been able to replicate (for example, the apparent memory leak/caching/cinnamon restart/"you didn't sacrifice the right color goat" bug that hits some machines, mine included). I didn't have much luck with Nemo either. Very slow in general and buggy progress. I ended up switching to LXDE/Thunar and it runs like a dream.

... the second result is actually the one I wanted, the google AI is possibly hallucinating some christian theology.

ok, what if I use more of the sentence now that I've found the original.

... Nope. Google AI Overview still just dude-guessing in a whole wrong dimension.
google ai overview: ""The dry place enemy" refers to the concept in Christian teachings, particularly from Matthew 12:43-45, where an evil spirit leaves a person, wanders through "dry, waterless places" (wilderness/desolation) seeking rest, and finds none, leading it to return with seven more wicked spirits. The enemy (devil/evil spirits) thrives in spiritual emptiness and desolation (dry places), but God's Word, praise, and fellowship are the "living water" that drives them away, making the "dry place" a spiritual battleground where believers use scripture and prayer to resist" actual google result #1: a reddit discussion of result #2. result #2, the famous tweet I was searching for: Before I take a shower: I hate it in there, the wet world is a bad place While in the shower: I remember now that this is a good place, it is the dry world that is the enemy changing my search to: "the dry world is the enemy" adds the two results from the previous search but in the other order (tweet first) and the google overview is beneath it now, for some reason: ""The dry world is the enemy" is a modern, evocative phrase, often appearing online, that signifies a longing for moisture, comfort, or escape from a harsh, parched reality, contrasting with a pleasant "wet" state like a shower or dream, highlighting how dryness symbolizes hardship, while water represents relief and life, similar to the sentiment in." In addition to just being completely fucking wrong it stops suddenly at 'to the sentiment in' before it starts doing a 'breakdown of its meaning' that's also wrong.

dont remember where this is from but
Capitalism would, in the end, marx said, turn on the so called free market, along with the values and traditions it claims to defend. It would in its final stages pillage the systems and structures that made capitalism possible. It would resort, as it caused widespread suffering, to harsher forms of repression. It would attempt in a frantic last stand to maintain its profits by looting and pillaging state instutitons, contradicting its stated nature

she is so great
a page from the online comic Kill Six Billion Demons. Maya ten Mahti, a woman in anachronistic somewhat beggar and monastic clothing admits to having eaten an inhuman vendors noodles. She pays him with the proverb: "If you should meet god on the road... Kill him." then excuses herself. She is happy and smiling. The last line of panels show that around where she had sat is an area undisturbed by the battle that was taking place, and an edge of cut floor and walls in a half circle around her, corpses lining its edge, implying she defended herself and the vendor

thanks for answering a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT QUESTION than the one I asked, google!. Not that I trust the google AI to actually be correct in any case since it usually isnt.
me searching google for "dnd demon with multiple bodies" and the AI overview going "several dungeons and dragons demons have multiple bodies or multiple limbs," and then using five examples, which are exclusively demons with multiple limbs, one of which doesn't, having two heads and tentacle arms which splits into two near the end.

Halvrelevant, även om det som pratas om i quoten är om mer mer meta-organisering, men postar denna favorit igen:
Fem_Anark från twitter säger "Att som regering sätta upp mål för hur många som ska få utbetalning från en socialförsäkring är inte förenligt med god rättsäker förvaltning. Kan liknas vid att sätta upp mål för hur många fällande/friande domar en domstol ska göra. Det är korrupt"

Two frames. A corpse-like nun, wearing her habit, and with burned cross-marks on her face. She has her eyes closed and is crying blood, and a man is placing the sacramental wafer in her mouth while saying "In the name of the father, and of the suon, and of the holy spirit." The second frame is her falling back surrounded by smoke or ash, now only a disintegrating skeleton, as she still manages to speak the words "Amen".

A villain a silly pompadour-ish haircut and thin mustasche yells "HA-hahaha. That's right, not yet... We haven't lost yet. Like hell that would do you in!!" and the final speechbubble is him saying "USE YOUR TRANS!" in bigger font

achewood comic frame, one is a woman-dog saying "Beef, are you too tired to finish biting through that piece of toast?" and the second is a dog-man (presumably) sitting with a pained look on his face, or as if asleep and troubled, with a piece of toast sticking out of his mouth. The 'tired' is written above a blacked out bar from an edit, removing the original 'depressed'.
