Him not having a big Mac also isn't changing anything.

Reply to comment by TheNobleCannibal in TIL: WW1 Armistice Day was Nov 11th, fighting was to cease at 11:00 AM. An American solider charged a German machine gun nest with 16 mins left, and died at 10:59 AM. The last soldier to die in WWI. by wats6831
Always love the reddit historians who try to teach us a lesson without even reading the fucking article. The Germans who killed him even waved at him to stop. His unit was told not to advance. His unit tried to stop him. He just did it.

Reply to comment by Torugu in TIL that the "Lost City of Atlantis" was invented by the philosopher Plato, as a fake enemy for Athens that lost favour of the gods and was sunk in to the sea. by PDRugby
In platos story one of the sons of posieden, Atlas is " made rightful king of the entire island(atlantis) and the ocean (called the Atlantic Ocean in his honor), and was given the mountain of his birth and the surrounding area as his fiefdom."- from Wiki.
So.. I mean... the king of atlantis is named after the mountain range and ruled over the area as his fiefdom.. in platos story... but if you're sure there was no connection and no inspiration whatsoever drawn from it Okey fuckin dokey.

It wasn't a mythical island until plato said it was a mythical island. It could've been used as some inspiration for the tale. But who knows.

Heroditus actually had a city on his map of the known world named "Atlantes". So the tale was around longer than Plato.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Technology that lets us speak to our dead relatives has arrived. Are we ready? by el_gee
It's uh not. That's kinda the extreme fantasy version of it. Necromancy in religion can be seen as just speaking to the dead. Or 'divining' answers from the dead.
It's seen not a great idea because you could be talking to anything. Demon, yourself, another entity, or whatever.
I think the parallel they were drawing was simply the fact when you "talk to the dead" it's not really them or "may not be".
