Okay, but the Jews were already being regularly persecuted for actual millennia at that point, and this was in... the 1930s, with a very different geopolitical situation. On the other hand, I doubt GP has any real reason to fear imminent ethnic persecution. We can and should take our best guess as to the likelihood of catastrophic events into account in our cost/benefit analysis, surely?

The laws of gravity are entirely symmetric, so it doesn't seem fair to attribute it specifically to the sun; also, the energy in this case is coming out of the "v" in earth's good old 0.5mv^2 kinetic energy relative to the sun.

Surprised you hadn't heard it before, my peer group uses it a lot, also in the sense of "well that was something".

Exactly which platforms will penalise namedropping Hitler varies and it varies by circumstances, but this is a real thing as far as I can tell, on tiktok and also on YouTube videos algorithmically flagged as "intended for children" (regardless of whether they are or not).
