Discord is now partly owned by Tencent so that's a no from me dawg. Not that the others are any better, data collection wise. But at least it doesn't go directly to the CCP.
WW1 vs WW2 causes 2 comments

I mean sure, a duke died, but it was the last straw in an era of extreme political tension. In short, everyone had beef with everyone, and many countries had to deal with internal beef on top of that, like uprisings and stuff.
That said the causes of WWII are similarly complex. Germany was hit hard by the Versailles treaty, its economy and people's spirit crippled, and France just couldn't fucking be done bullying it (sounds like the plot leading up to a school shooting, doesn't it). A conspiracy theory called the Dolchstosslegende developed among the Germans, blaming their WWI loss not on external factors, but on traitors on the inside - Jews, communists etc. (during the war the German press kept printing that Germany was winning, so the people were shocked when it lost the war) This played right into the Nazis' hand, with their mysticism and shit. It's too complex for one comment but TL;DR the narrative that WWII can be blamed on one country or even one person is BS.

That's super interesting, I didn't know this existed. Dreams are wild. I have had dreams that momentarily entirely changed my perception of real life people based on what they did in my dream. Anyone has that too?

Oh it's one of those "internal angles have to add up to 180°" type of thing isn't it. I never paid too much attention in geometry class lol

I mean yeah since gender is a made up concept, technically you can make up as many as you want.
Personally I'd rather go the way of just slowly dismantling the concept and letting people do whatever the hell they want regardless of their genitals or identity. But that's a pretty big goal and we (as in humanity as a whole) are not even at the point of understanding the difference between sex and gender so that won't happen anytime soon.

In winter, no. But now in the summer I wake up naturally at like 6:30 because the sun is shining sharply through the blinds and the birds are screaming.

Speaking of ancient Greece and lifting heavy things, did you know that "Plato" wasn't the philosopher's real name but a nickname? His real name was Aristocles, and his nickname, Platon, means "broad" or "wide" because he was built as hell and loved wrestling. Can you imagine like a MMA fighter or a wrestler also being a world famous philosopher? Wild.

Hey you know how flamingos get their vibrant color from eating a lot of shrimp? (That's why the ones in zoos often look kinda washed out because they don't feed them enough shrimp at the zoo.)
Maybe this penguin just ate way, way too much lemon cake.

@omar1992 I thought Robin was a good person as well. But truth be told I've never watched the whole thing, only seen a couple episodes here and there, so I obviously don't have the full picture.
@spookykink58 That's, damn, that's a very good point. Mind blown!
