The best bit is that many of these are still frequently used by official channels.
Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly, or a RUD, is often the standard way to announce a rocket went pop.
Engine Rich Exhaust is used less officially, but is often used as a way of encompassing a multitude of issues like an incorrect fuel mixture melting internal components, a cooling system failure melting internal components, incorrect material use or manufacturing melting internal components, and plenty of other things that can cause internal components to melt. Fun fact: if a rocket flame suddenly shifts to a bright green, that's a textbook sign of engine rich exhaust! The green is caused by copper entering the exhaust plume which gives a green glow when burned, and typically the only place you'll find copper is the fuel and coolant piping inside the engine, where it is very much supposed to stay (note that a bright green flash when an engine ignites is normal, it's only if an already lit flame turns green)

If you go by what Know Your Meme says, it's unlikely that he is real, and is more likely an amalgamation of other body builders and models edited together.

Two to the left here, or swap the horse and the hare. Or don't, I'll eat the horse to get to the hare if I must.

As a wise man once said:
"God himself could come down from heaven and tell me it's pronounced "jif" and I'd just say "sure thing, whatever you say Jod " and then walk backwards into hell."

I wonder what came first; the association between red and gold, and hunger, or the prominent use of those colors in food advertising.
This could be tested by running the "which colors are associated with hunger" test on a population who has never been introduced to any marketing that uses those colors, but finding those kinds of people must be pretty difficult at this point.

5 hours to travel the distance.
5 months to retrofit the train to successfully travel 360 km on a *road*.
5 years to fix the potholes it causes in the road after it's passed.

Australian army in the European theater of WWII 12 comments

It's a slow as balls, basically invulnerable, 152 mm howitzer, running on treads and dreams.
It was designed to be a a strategic bunker buster, traveling along with a pack of faster KV-1s, but in practice its tectonic speed led to it being quickly decommissioned as the Germans just kept incidentally outmaneuvering them and either capturing them, or destroying them with point blank (in some cases literally) artillery fire.

For the record, at the time, 152mm barrels were normally only seen on naval ships and the occasional "fuck-everything-WAY-over-there" artillery piece.

They have a range of other issues, such as their gun being so heavy it could only actually be rotated while the entire tank was on level ground because the rotor couldn't actually LIFT it up its own bearing, but despite that there's an entire generation of people who crap themselves when they see its iconic profile after being conditioned to fear it from way too many war thunder tank battles.

Far from a full list, but (according to wikipedia), 1 war was started during Thatcher's term in office (the Falklands War), and a LOT of wars were started during Queen Victoria's term in office (I counted 46, and I have no idea what most of them are).
