Other Random question of the day

Hell yeah, I do. Been holding onto this since middle school and refuse to let it go.

There was this bitch who sat beside me on the bus. Her name was Samantha. We were pretty decent friends but mostly because we were both on the same cheerleading team. All chances at being her friend went down. the. drain. After I was crying to her on the bus about how my pet cat had gone missing and she told me that she found her and killed her. A lie but gullible little me believed it.

Not even the worse thing to happen about but probably my strongest vendetta against anyone. Who does that?
 
I've been trying to grow out of my vindictive nature, but there's one I just can't get over. This kid slapped a girl's ass and pointed at me in the 8th grade. She actually believed I did and I got suspended for a week it, then got grounded from video games and TV for a month cause I got suspended. Worst part was that girl was actually my friend and she never talked to me after that, even after I apologized numerous times for a thing I didn't do.
 
Germany pissing off and getting the USA in on world war I. [And several others.]

The Zimmerman telegraph presumed by Germany to a in chaos Mexico about helping fight the Americans, the sinking of the Lusitania, the internalized bombings OF the United States, and Germany diplomatically being a flaunting moron. Thus causing many troops and civilians in Germany to starve to death in vain, Americans sending 10,000 troops every time and bolstering the Western front's numbers and morale, food and resource aide, and being the final nail in the coffin for Germany causing them to effectively lose a war they initially, and still up to the point before the entre of America logically into the war boosting the team effort, helping cause the Treaty of Versailles.

Combined with the Germans confused at the end, the abdication, economic breakdown, treaty abuse, and prolonged hell itself and looking for those to blame, Germany resulted up with the Nazi Party, rebuilt and disregarded the remainders of the treaty, and commenced the second world war and some of the craziest slaughters and battles in history. History then repeating itself, and then we enter into the cold war and every proxy war since but unrelated mostly to my point.

Thus summarized: Cold war being by actions in WWII, and WWII being a direct cause by actions in the end and slightly after WWI. Germany helping break Russia and result with the soviet union by Lenin that leads up to Stalin proper and the whole cold war scares, WWI being a endless wave generator because Germany could did do all smart not at all. Germany being Versailles-ed and breaking them mentally leading up to WWII.

Alternatively and a shorter decision, Germany wanting a 100% victory rather than cutting a deal with the other powers, after having technically singlehandedly bamboozled all that goddamn land and Belgium. Whereupon that alone could of been tolerated by that point, allowing Germany to flip everyone the bird and proclaim itself as the god of war in memespeak.

Another could be having your country go "communist", or any of it's other endless derivatives like socialist.

Or when you ban capitalism.

Or when you decide to become a matriarchy.

Or Lee's confederate forces trying to do Gettysburg especially because Lee felt indestructible, and got roflstomped continuously.

If I can choose a main and all the above, my main is Versailles and/or having America march on into WWI, all basically being a result of Germany being a country version of that wacky, snobby, rich husky kid in anyone's school class you really want to beat up. If only one, it's going to be the whole Germany thing. That's what started it all up to begin with, besides the American civil war one and matriarchy. Those are their own special self contained snowglobes of profound mental retardation. For a lack of superior terminology.
 
Dumbest thing in history, eh?

Let's see here, dumbest thing would be... Reagan's(I don't think it's this presidents name...) stupidity of when he hid the warning about that burglary of the Marriott hotel
 
Now, I'm pretty sure it isn't the dumbest decision in history in comparison to some of the monumental screw-ups of the past, but! I'd like to submit 'Using Hydrogen to fill the Hindenburg'. So, back in the 1930s many people predicted that airships would become the norm for global travel, because at the time there had been 2000ish flights without a single injury. However, there was this 30 second moment in history that completely, and irrecoverably, ruined the public confidence in airships.

The Hindenburg was the Zeppelin Company's 'flagship' as well as the biggest airship ever built. It'd just started trying to dock in Lakehurst, New Jersey, when the entire thing erupted in flames! Whether it was a static spark or sabotage is unclear as far as I know, but because the entire thing was filled with Hydrogen it took roughly 30 second for the biggest airship in the world to be consumed by fire. Taking 35 lives in the process.

I'd consider that a pretty substantial screw-up considering they could have used something less combustible like Helium..

P.S. For anybody who's interested, there is footage of the Hildenburg Disaster available online

Are you referring to the Watergate Scandal? That was Nixon & the Watergate Hotel.
 
*intense facepalm* that's the dumbest thing I've heard today, hitler was evil, more evil than me
 
The Sims as well as Animal crossing.
Both are time killers and can be enjoyed, but if you view it as a categorical inquiry, then some people would prefer the look of one, but like the features of the other.

Though I just pick Sims because I have no idea what AC is.
 
Though I haven't actually played Animal Crossing, I assume you cannot make the characters drown in pools, set them on fire with a BBQ, etc. Which is why The Sims gets my vote.
 
Never played Animal Crossings, so the Sims because I at least tried a bit
 
Resident evil: The fast and the transmorpheous.
Also more seriously: Gandhi's nuke fetish.
