This is haunting.

There's no gore or anything, it's just twisted metal and cables. Still, seeing it and thinking "humans were alive in there mere days ago" made my gut drop. It's not like looking at wreckage of an old ship or plane or something, it's different. Because it's so small, it feels more intimate. Like looking at a coffin vs looking at a graveyard

The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic

The death of a billionaire however, is hilarious 🤣

The death of 4 is aquatic praxis

How is the death of anyone hilarious? Does it matter how much you have in your pocket book which will determine the level of hilarity to you? That's cold. I surely hope you have more empathy in person.

They are probably very young. People get less extreme in their views as they grow older (usually).

[–] Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

just more complacent to the poor state of humanity due to a lack of energy to change, or because the old benefit from the status quo.

So Holocaust is not a tragedy? That's what you're saying?

[–] maiskanzler@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

No, it's just a common saying that shows how people react to this sort of news. It's a bit cynical but not untrue.

[–] Liempong_pagong@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hoho!

u/seesaw is looking for a reason to fight.

It's a common saying you buffoon.

[–] seesaw@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"common saying"

How the fuck is that a common saying? That's a quote attributed to genocidal Stalin and it's a complete bullshit statement. Whoever repeats a moronic statement (and also very wrong) is also a moron. Death of millions is not just a statistics, it's a much bigger tragedy.

Edgy idiots trying to be cool with statements of dictators

[–] Liempong_pagong@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well i don't assign its meaning. I'm just informing of what that phrase is. If anything. You're the one appearing to be edgy with your unchecked emotion and tone of replies.

[–] seesaw@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

Yeah sorry for my "unchecked emotion" for my ancestors getting slaughtered in concentration camps and you call it "just a statistics"

[–] Cynosure@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Weren't the occupants cremated instantly?

Diluted

since they were in the water

[–] sp00nix@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Like corn in a can.

[–] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Superheated then liquidised and dispersed like chum
