What if the Morgenthau plan had been implemented with the full support of the allies and soviets ?

The Morgenthau Plan was a proposal to weaken Germany following World War II by eliminating its arms industry and civilian industry. This included the removal or destruction of all military and civilian production plants and equipment across the former Reich, as well as the deportation of millions of Germans to various labour camps across the allied territories

Angel Down by Daniel Kraus - An extremely well deserved Pulitzer !

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

I honestly went in thinking i'd hate the book due to its writing style but the one sentence thing was only extremely grating at the start but slowly just faded away and became.....good ? Like the lack of a comma does wonders in building up a sense of being suffocated which shines forth in the books extremely detailed gore ! Your never given a moment to breath and I found it amazing

The prose is also one of the best i've ever seen , there were moments where I just took pictures of the text due to how fucking good it was . Bagger is also an extremely well written and multi-layered protagonist for such a small book and I loved seeing all his layers and interactions . He genuinely feels like a real person ! The side cast is a bit on the weaker side , Veck was cool and a bit tragic but Godspeed and Popkins were cliche and Arno serves really no purpose to the story beyond being Baggers emotional rock

The scene where the Angel shows Bagger the soul-ammo-war machine factory thingamajig (this section is extremely wordy and is a singular passage making it intentionally very hard to read) was amazing even thought I really had no clue what was going . The Angel overall was cool but i'm not Christian so I probably missed something here and there . The Angel also being revealed to be a demon/hellspawn was a cool twist , after doing some research it seemed pretty obvious for anyone familiar with the religion but again i'm Christian so it was a complete shock lmao .

The vibe is amazingly done , the vivid descriptions of the trench's of France in their apocalyptic gory detail and done very well thought I sort of felt it was a bit excessive at times (but im not a ww1 soldier what do I know lmao)

Overall extremely good book and the Pulitzer was deserved !

How much of the Foundation survives SCP-001 When Day Breaks ?

I mean the foundation has millions of employee's , hundreds of years of experience and is extremely militarized

An XK-class scenario is also something they expected to happen and had prepared for so considering all of this how much of the foundations strength survived ?

Reddit on edge keeps randomly opening , desperately need a fix

It takes maybe a couple minutes for it to regenerate and open again after closing , its completely random and I can't find any "trigger"

This thing nearly nuked my computer as it opened up while I was playing CS

Its so fucking annoying

Morality of killing a species that preys on humanity even thought its known they are sapient with human level intelligence and emotions and can eat literally nothing else ?

The question is about the CCG from the series Tokyo Ghoul , the CCG members are tasked with killing Ghouls (a species that predates solely on humans ) . The series takes a really nuanced take on the conflict by showing us that all Ghouls aren't really evil but regular people trying to make the most out of the body they've been "cursed" with .

The actual conflict in the story is a lot deeper >!like the CCG actually being run by a literal shadow government artificially maintaining the conflict for their own personal power !<

but lets not get into that and focus on the core of the conflict

Edit : Since it wasn't clear enough I will specify that they can eat dead bodies and can even eat artificially created meat

(Witch Hat Atelier) In defense of the Pointed Hats

A lot of people try to counter there ideology with some variant of "X job can do bad thing Y in our world , should we ban all job X " , this kinda glosses over the entire crux of magic in Witch hat Atelier , it is pretty fucking easy to learn ! The base of it can be picked up extremely quickly with the only thing left after that being mere extra's and one's own creativity (which is a lot more common then we give credit for) , unlike our world where all these jobs need immense dedication , money and time while you can theoretically make a magic nuke from your local store supplies

A simple spell like the counterclock spell traps a man in a effective purgatory (Dagda) . Also magic is a lot more unpredictable than our own worlds science , literally one guy trying to break out resulted in nearly an entire city being destroyed by leech's lmao

Also healing magic in the series is inherently inseparable from body horror magic , a magical doctor would have the necessary knowledge and equipment to turn you into a unfeeling slab of goo .

The Pointed Hats ideology isn't perfect (the entire story so far revolved around this ) but its definitely very understandable

The summary is the same one for season 1 but the cover image and all the episodes are just the ones from Hidden Inventory to Shibuya Incident

Very confused by this

I would like to preface this by saying that yes the Magatsumi does obviously represent a nuke , this post is about the rest of the swords

Lets firstly talk about the debate with Sojo , Chihiro believes the swords are neccesary to protect lives and kill evil doers while Sojo believes that the swords sole purpose is to massacre . This interaction doesn't actually make much sense if we take the context as nukes but replace that with guns and you basically have the entire American gun debate with some people arguing guns are great tools of self defense while others say they are nothing but tool for slaughter.

Also outisde of the Magatsumi itself , none of the other blades have the overwhelming power that could represent nukes . Also Yura believes the blades deserve to be used by the state to enforce order within the country with overwhelming might which makes perfect sense for guns but again nukes don't .
