      The CIA secretly discovered and then raised from the seabed fragments of a lost soviet submarine in the 60s, in order to obtain soviet nuclear secrets and warheads. Some bodies were recovered with the wreckage.

      Even though it was a super secret operation and the middle of the cold war, the CIA put together a respectful and moving funeral ceremony for the soviet submariners onboard the recovery ship, and they were then buried at sea. The ceremony was filmed and later, after it was declassified, the ceremony was shared with the soviet leadership and the known families of the submariners.

    I heard the ending of “Titanic” was very sad. But then, Leonardo DiCaprio dies and we got a happy ending after all!

    When you’re in a shitty naval ensign competition and the opponent is the USSR (you just brought your regular flag)

          But I don’t think girls are yucky either, on the contrary I’m actually a huge fan. I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at.

            The point that the meme template you’re using is sexist, as it implies that women are shallow and care about “dumb” things, like romantic movies, while men are cool and care about “smart” topics like history and politics.

              I disagree. I think the point of this format is showing how we are emotional about different stuff. Most women and men are touched by different things, and this meme has been a way of saying “do you all guys also get emotional when thinking about this” often depicting absurd stuff but it’s fun when we guys find out we are the same. And the less sense it makes the funnier. If we are talking about being men it’s because it’s the most common trait between individuals in this community

              Completely disagree, you’re thinking of the one that’s about girls VS boys with a time machine

              Thats quite CIS-gendered of you. Im not sure if Lemmy is the apropriate place for your heteronormative microaggression
