  • That’s just one village.

    "According to the Information Bureau of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam (PRG), a shadow government formed by North Vietnam in 1969, between April 1968 and the end of 1970 American ground troops killed about 6,500 civilians in the course of twenty-one operations either on their own or alongside their allies. "

    “Tiger Force, a reconnaissance unit of the 101st Airborne Division, probably murdered hundreds of civilians during a 6-month period in 1967”

    and from bombing:

    “Estimates for the number of North Vietnamese civilian deaths resulting from U.S. bombing range from 30,000 to 65,000.[35][4] Higher estimates place the number of civilian deaths caused by American bombing of North Vietnam in Operation Rolling Thunder at 182,000.[36] American bombing in Cambodia is estimated to have killed between 30,000 and 150,000 civilians and combatants.”

    Edit: I haven’t done extensive research and as was pointed out the actual numbers might be much higher, and my figures don’t include deaths and damage from Agent Orange chemicals





  • But giraffes can stand on flat ground and reach their head almost straight up above them. I tried to match the body position in the comparison image I made. I’m not sure why they think the giraffe’s legs would be so far forward but it doesn’t matter because it shows neck mobility. Anyways, in their image the neck and head are horizontal to the top of the giraffes back. You know they can lift their head higher than horizontal with their body. edit: I think their image may actually be correct because the weight of their neck would need to be in the water so it doesn’t push them underwater. They would need to tilt their head up to breathe. But yeah this has nothing to do with neck mobility.









  • Afroman photo with Trump resurfaces criticism

    On social media, clips from the trial were widely shared, with many rooting for Afroman and excited by his win.

    However, some critics took the moment to point out that Afroman had used the popularity of hits like “Lemon Pound Cake” to support Donald Trump. A photo of Afroman wearing that same American flag suit and shaking hands with Trump in 2024 began recirculating online, which some claimed served as a “milkshake duck” rapidly tanking his online popularity on the back of his win.

    Back in 2024, Afroman told AllHipHop that he met Trump while the rapper’s own presidential campaign was in “full effect,” denying that he was a Trump supporter. Instead, he claimed that his only interest in meeting with Trump was to discuss marijuana reform and “ending police immunity.”

    The pair also commiserated about “witch hunts” and “laughed about” them both “getting raided,” Afroman said in an Instagram post attempting to clarify what was happening in the photo.

    However, in the same post, Afroman seemed excited that Trump liked his song “Hunter Got High,” which is a version of “Because I Got High” mocking Hunter Biden. And critics resurfacing the photo noted that the rapper told Newsweek that he hoped to perform the Hunter Biden song at Trump rallies as part of a comeback bid.
