Historic Vids (@historyinmemes): "In the fall of 1943, a group of Italian doctors, from left to right: Giovanni Borromeo, Adriano Ossicini, and Vittorio Sacerdoti, gathered to create a fictitious disease known as Syndrome K. Their mission was to protect Jewish refugees in their hospital by spreading rumors of a highly contagious and disfiguring disease, deterring the Nazis from approaching. This ruse also helped hospital staff differentiate between genuine patients and Jewish individuals seeking refuge. "Syndrome K" was recorded on patient documents to indicate that these individuals were not actually ill but were Jewish. They produced these documents to treat Jewish people as ordinary patients. When asked about their supposed ailment, the response was "Syndrome K," signifying that they were admitting a Jew as a patient, even though they were all healthy. Adriano Ossicini explained this in a 2016 interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa. The choice of "Syndrome K" was symbolic, with "Kesselring" referencing Albert Kesselring, the Nazi commander overseeing Italy's occupation, and "Kappler" referring to Herbert Kappler, a Nazi police chief in Rome responsible for the deaths of 335 hostages, including 57 Jews, during World War II. Special rooms were allocated for those "infected" with Syndrome K, and Jewish children were encouraged to cough to discourage Nazi inspectors from entering. As Vittorio Sacerdoti mentioned in a 2004 BBC interview, the Nazis believed it was a severe illness like cancer or tuberculosis and avoided entering those areas, fleeing like rabbits. These courageous doctors managed to save the lives of at least 20 people. Although this number may seem small compared to the vast loss of life during that time, every life saved was an act of heroism. Additionally, we can't underestimate the impact on the descendants of those they saved, who are alive today because of these brave doctors' actions." | nitter
Historic Vids (@historyinmemes): "The Fulton Surface-to-Air Recovery System used a skyhook to rescue people without having to land the plane in the 1950s. Before testing on humans, American inventor Robert Edison Fulton initially tested the skyhook on dummies before moving on to pigs. When the pig was lifted off the ground, it began to spin while flying through the air at 125 miles (200 km/h) per hour. Thankfully, the pig arrived on the plane unharmed, albeit slightly disoriented. When the pig recovered, it began to attack the crew onboard." | nitter

Bret Devereaux (@BretDevereaux): "Both points are, I think, pretty clearly true, though it is sometimes fashionable in academic circles to deny (2) and to insist that Rome has no special claim over a country...with a Senate, a national eagle and fasces on *everything* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces#United_States). 2/" | nitter

Bret Devereaux (@BretDevereaux): "I also dislike the pyramid shape's implication about the size of each group, which did vary from society to society and wasn't always clearly pyramid shaped. I made some 'block charts' of ancient societies based on modern demographic estimates that show a range of shapes:" | nitter

Massimo (@Rainmaker1973): "The Concorde could maintain a supercruise up to Mach 2.04 (2,500 km/h; 1,550 mph) at an altitude of 60,000 ft (18.3 km). Temperature outside could be at -60°C but the windows were hot to the touch [full video, Inside Stuff: https://buff.ly/3Ev989u] https://twitter.com/Rainmaker1973e/status/1699862033703764107/video/1 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1699863312882700681" | nitter
François Heisbourg (@FHeisbourg): "1) I'm old enough to remember that in 1980, chancellor Schmidt & president Giscard d'Estaing had decided on a joint MBT called Charlemagne in its French declension. It then died. I actually own a tiny scale model of the beast. Maybe the only thing left. 1/3" | nitter
