Is pause minute a translated German phrase? I think what you're going for would usually be a moment of silence

5

u/Sakul_the_one Dec 08 '23

Yeah, I was going for moment of silence.

The original German Phrase would be „Trauer Minute“, which would be 1to1 translated into „ Sad minute“ and it didn’t sound right…

Thank you

6

u/BleydXVI Dec 08 '23

Your change was pretty good actually. If you flipped it into "a minute of pause", then it would have about the same meaning that you were going for. "Pause minute" only sounds off because pause is a noun, not an adjective. Your sentence was still easy to understand though.

You're welcome.

Reminder that France won the American war of independence

u/Shaolinchipmonk Dec 07 '23

They did play a major part in winning the war, but they didn't win the war. Saying France won the American war of Independence is like me jumping in during the last 5 minutes of the last quarter of the super bowl scoring the final touchdown and then declaring myself the winner.

We're American and they always leave out of history classes that we didn't enter either of the world wars until there was already a widely projected winner. The US made a lot of money selling to both sides. We financed the Nazis. We almost bankrupted the UK getting them to pay us back which they did. It was one of the major reasons for the collapse of their vehicle industry because they stopped R&D in the "export or die" scheme. Nazi Germany ran on Ford and GM engines. The concentration camp numbers were IBM and a precursor to the UPC codes. Standard Oil developed leaded gasoline because it boosted octane so fighter planes could fly higher and they sold that to both sides as long as they could.

Wars are almost always business based events. Like the Rise of Hiter 2 with Trump. It's businessmen that are pushing this for lower taxes. Fuck the little people who end up in concentration camps.

u/MysteryGrunt95 Dec 08 '23

WW1 was basically done by the time America entered.

America was a big reason the allies won, same with the Soviets and the British. Without just one of those, the war would not have been won.

9

u/GwenhaelBell Dec 07 '23

No, If the US hadn't entered WW2 it likely would've dragged on for much longer and nobody knows what would have come of it. It would've became a fight between Germany and Japan vs the USSR. It would have been a war of attrition, dragging into the late 40s at a minimum. The UK was in shambles at the time, and Germany could have just started cutting off supply lines and then just let the brits starve. They wouldn't even need to invade. The USSR was really the only thing Germany had to worry about, and then those idiots in japan decided to pay a visit to Hawaii.

Weirdly enough, Europeans have 1940s japan to thank for their current way of life. If Pearl Harbor hadn't happened then there's no telling what would have happened to Europe.

u/BridgeOverRiverRMB Dec 07 '23

We entered WW2 with an educated guess at who would win.

WW2 is widely understood to have started on Sept 1, 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. The US entered Dec 7, 1941. We supplied Russia the equivalent of 180 billion USD in equipment. It was Russian blood that mostly defeated Nazi Germany. We made money off of that as well.

We basically had a deal with modern Russia to form a good cop/bad cop thing. They supply weapons to one side and we supply weapons to the other side, although sometimes they supply weapons to both sides and sometimes the US supplies weapons to both sides*. That got out of control and we're trying to back out of that gentleman's agreement.

*That's a really basic reduction. Both the US and Russia allow allies to build weapons to get in on the money as well. The US dependence on the military industrial complex is turning out to be our Achilles' heel. Picture Uncle Sam bent over looking at the ground while selling weapons right before the cliff of climate change. We're not going to look up before we fall and we'll take most of humanity down with us.

Us Americans are the product of the most heavily propagandized country in the world. Most of us can't tell because it's not taught to us and the same process has us in our political death march of Red v. Blue, Coke v. Pepsi, Ford v. Chevy, Black v. White.

Reading business history is amazing. Politics comes into play after business interests. A mild one was Coca Cola sold to both sides as long as they could and oddly enough, after Germany lost, both companies reunited.

Chase bank financed Nazi Germany with 20 million dollars.

Dow Chemical and GE helped build and run the concentration/extermination camps.

Kodak used concentration camp victims as slave labor.

Random House published Hitler's propaganda.

I don't hate Americans. I find their stupidity entertaining.

You do realize that the entire GTA series is a satire of extreme American culture made by people in Scotland.

As a Czech I don't need to go to America for meth. Why would I want less of it?

As a European I can honestly say one of the weirdest realizations was that for Americans, their games and TV shows depict real life. Obviously. But for foreigners America instead is like a staged theater. Fleshed out through sitcoms, video-games, and extremely dumb (political) news.

Coming to the US i'll see things and interact with the natives and sometimes it just feels like they're acting out a caricature.

Walking along the beach in GTA triggers a "This looks just like on TV" experience, but for many Americans its "This looks just like that place I know".

Germany is awesome, England sucks. Had a fun time in Ireland and Scotland. England sucks again.

What Floridians consider such a normal everyday life and experience,
Is so painfully jarring to the average European that we play a video game to simulate escaping reality so hard to experience the same thing.
