They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too...

But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.

I don't think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

You don’t think Europe wants our 19 year old whiz kids whose laptops overheat from processing excel files?

I hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.

If only there was something the American people could do about this.

1945-1959: Same as 1930s but the scientist guy is also a Nazi (and Hitler has a bullet hole lmao)

I'm an ignorant American, what's the significance of the bull/ox?

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 83 points 2 days ago (17 children)

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.

Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

The bull that fathered the Minotaur was not Zeus, it was a gift by Poseidon who expected king Minos to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. The king kept the gift and sacrificed another bull, Poseidon got pissed and had the king's wife screw the bull, giving birth to the Minotaur.
