So yesterday I saw cinnamon toast crunch milk at the gas station. Since then you are the 3rd person I've seen mention that cereal. The universe is weird. This is also known as the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, otherwise known as the frequency illusion or recency bias.

It's how I found out about it honestly, seen a YouTube short of Joe Rogan talking about it and I said to myself, "surely not, this man cappin". But, seems like he wasn't. I don't watch him myself, too much conspiracy type shit.

Sounds dubious, seemingly no strong source, possible non the less.

Wolf attacks around ww2 in russia is not unheard of. Since practically all hunters and capable men were taken to war, the wolves gradually got more confident, abducting children and teenagers to feed on. Quite horrific.

I am searching online and there are many references to this being an historical fact, so perhaps it is true after all.

Here are two links that say it was not true.

Seems to be that it wasn't a singular truce but a series of small ones to help eradicate the wolf population. I'm not 100% confident believing it, but what do I know, I wasn't around then.

Hmm it's kinda like fighting each other is pointless because there is always a new threat and even when there isnt we could improve our species but oh wait no why do that? Oh yeah we are not a very smart species when it comes to the future on the now. Plus you know their shiny stuff needs to be mine....
