Reply to comment by Rampage_Rick in TIL in 1962 a General Electric engineer named Nick Holonyak developed the first LED light bulb capable of emitting visible red light. The same bulb was used in the 1964 stop animation animated TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for Rudolph’s bioluminescent nose. by undergroundgeek
Bit of a longer video, but this lady has one of the best collections of early LEDs and other light and display elements and makes some very interesting videos

Reply to comment by AndiamoABerlinoBeppe in TIL of the Arisan Maru, a Japanese "hell ship" that was torpedoed while carrying Allied prisoners of war. None of the 1,781 passengers were killed by the explosion, but other Japanese ships refused to rescue them, resulting in only 9 survivors. by Jupitair
I went on a school band trip to Germany about fifteen years ago. We had these special shirts made that were in our school colors, with a Canadian flag on one sleeve and a German flag on the other. Our teachers handed them out to some of the German students and teachers we were playing for and while they put them on, we noticed every German person wearing the shirt crossed their arms in such a way the German flag was covered but the Canadian flag was left uncovered.
We thought we'd offended them by not having the flag be more prominent, but as it was explained to us by one of the German teachers, it's still considered somewhat taboo to wear the German flag openly as a private citizen.

Reply to comment by HarryMcDowell in [OC] I bought and cooked 5.5 lb of chicken quarters. This is the breakdown of the weight throughout the process by dreaming-in-colour
But the pad weighs that much because it absorbed liquid that came out of the chicken. It's not some grand conspiracy.
