  1. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    There's also the fact that oil was dirt cheap on the international market at the time, so the Germany government had to pay a big subsidy for synthetic oil production, to keep the refineries running. Otherwise private industry would've just walked away, and they wouldn't have existed when...

    Best description of a Panther ever, and Tigers were even worse!
  3. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Much of Ottoman Manpower came from the Balkans after they conquered it, how is that affected I wonder. Christian Propaganda will certainly have a field day with them.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I think we should keep Agrabah but make it a analogue for Baghdad. If we still go to war with Iraq stupid Americans will not care if it magical medieval version of Baghdad only that it's Baghdad. How about a Creaturewerks version of Beauty and the Beast? Kinda like Labyrinth. Creaturewerks (or...

    Whelp at least the emperor went out like a fucking badass
  6. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Not mass producing a few reliable models of AFVs and aircraft rather than a large variety of unreliable ones.

    How powerful would a (semi) successful United Arab Republic be?

    This is highly dependent on one's metrics of "success:" geopolitical influence, military might, economic strength, social stability, political freedom? I will presume the former three to be the main metrics in this argument. The answer looks to be "quite" - easily a regional power, though in...

    Threadmarks: August 1962 Flashback: The Fate of Marilyn Monroe

    Flashback: The fate of Marylin Monroe On August 5, 1962, Marylin Monroe was found dead in her LA home. An inquest by police revealed her death was “caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide.” By 1961, Monroe was in the throes of...

    AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    1939, the French and British forces take a risk and march into the Ruhr, this cuts the German army off from their factories and cripples them for years. Hitler is remembered as a strategically inept fool who doomed Germany to an easy error
  12. Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    It's the inherent bias of, "My way of life is better than your way of life," with the added evidence of, "we're more powerful than you, and can do x/y/z better than you, and we know a/b/c better than you." If "civilization" literally has a world-spanning empire that no one can defeat and has...
  13. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    Sure. Re run OTL. The Germans won't roll 6s up to 1942 EVERY time.
  14. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    Ah, didn't see that. Well I guess another option is having the Ardennes Offensive go terribly wrong for the Nazis, with them losing most of the Panzer forces Rommel and Guderian included.
  15. No Pakistan: what happens to Balochistan and the NWFP?

    Pashtuns would hate purabi domination just as much They showed this tendency against Mughals British Sikh and even the marauders from bareli who came Allegedly to help them against Sikhs
  16. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    A bit too late, I would think. By 1944, Nazi Germany had conquered from France to the outskirts of Moscow. They had lost all that territory and were being invaded, but the myth would be preserved that Nazi Germany had some great military success, only to be undone by Allied effort. Heck, a...
  17. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    They tried ramping it up fairly quickly, basically within months of taking power in 1933. It wasn't that they didn't try earlier , it just takes a lot of money, time and coal to do so.

    AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    The French march into Germany in 1936 in response to the Rhineland remilitarization, Hitler commits suicide and is remembered as a failure while Mussolini p*sses himself at the prompt action and keeps low
