If you go there in google maps, you’ll find like 30 variations of Rama Setu marked as locations along the bridge, and the reviews for the main marker full of angry pajeets demanding the removal of the name “adams bridge”
The typhus vaccine was invented by an ethnic German who did most of his work in Poland during WW2, but because the only way to cultivate the vaccine was to have lice feed on human blood, there was a very short supply and most went to the Wehrmacht and SS.
Supposedly it was built by the Hindu god Rama so he and his army of monkeys could walk to Sri Lanka, so calling it Adam's Bridge (which was invented by the only people more hated in India than the British, Muslims) is blasphemy or something.
Typhus has historically followed war like the literal plague; the deprivation and grueling physical conditions, plus all those people who were sharing bedding and washing facilities make lice almost impossible to avoid. It's fairly easy to avoid for modern (1880s+) populations with even basic precautions like steam laundries and delousing(lol) stations, that's why typhus is sorta ignored in holocaust studies, because without the privation of the camps the typhus epidemic never would've happened.
So there was a second attempt to force a closure review ( will be archived on Wikipedia ) on changing the default skin, which was closed itself as no consensus whether to endorse the closure or overturn it.As some of you may have been aware, Wikipedia changed its default skin for unregistered users earlier in the year. This resulted in a request for comments (RfC) to determine if there was editor (and reader) consensus to persuade the Wikimedia Foundation (who handles the servers and design for projects like Wikipedia) to roll back to the older skin. It was closed a few days ago, with the closers observing that there was no consensus to do a rollback, and as such the new skin will stay. There's been a bit of sperging over this "horrid" outcome on the RfC's talk page.
The tard rage couldn't be contained and it spiralled out into other discussions:
A discussion over at the village pump for proposals ( will be archived on Wikipedia )
Biggest tards here seem to be Toa Nidhiki05 and Tvx1. I expect more retardation from these two when this RfC gets brought up in the future.
Good God why do these retards even care there ought to be a site wide rule either box or no box and people need to stick with it.
Maybe my learnings happened in an odd order, but I learned of typhus and forced labour first, and only heard of the organised shootings and gas chambers later. I think this is because Anne Frank died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen, and this is the same camp that the British film footage of starved prisoners, frequently used in documentaries, comes from.
I try to remind people of it sometimes because indeed it was almost immediately forgotten. Not only that, the shootings were only hours after Obama had given a speech denouncing (imaginary) police persecution and violence against black people. One could hardly have a more neatly packaged story of inciting violence and "stochastic terrorism" (certainly compared to how Trump's speeches are treated), but the mainstream media would never make such a connection.
