it seems as though any sign that warns people of something dangerous utterly terrifies whoever makes these, I'm surprised there wasn't a deer crossing sign in this video

same all because it says that there could be escaped prisoners doesn’t make it terrifying, it’s literally just a warning.

[@lycheeenby9473]

I wonder if the "World War 2 defenses" caption was from misinterpreting the "mine fire" as like. Landmines

[@Robin-Is-A-Bird]

I think so aswell

[@Tuntor689]

there was a ww2 defense sign later on maybe it just screwed up

[@RedTail1-1]

​@@Tuntor689I don't think you have a good grasp on reading comprehension... That's literally what they are talking about..

[@Tuntor689]

@@RedTail1-1 ..no? at least, i’m fairly certain not. the ww2 defense caption is for the beach defenses slide later on, which has no caption and talks nothing about landmines. this comment refers to the “mine fire” slide that comes before with the abandoned city, which has the ww2 defense caption below it despite the fact it has nothing to do with the slide.

[@matchc0635]

these slide is prob just auto-generated doomscroll bait, there's an entire ""side-hussle"" industry just churning out these by the hundred or thousands using automated bots and AIs.

The Silent Hill movie based some of their imagery off of Centralia, not the games.

[@BloodRedFox2008]

Was just about to say the same. Yeah people forget that Centralia inspired the town in the MOVIE. The games have always been ambiguous on if the town is based on any one place. One fun fact that is from the games though is the school in the first game was based on the school from Kindergarten Cop, with some textures even being directly based off some of the movie scenery.

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

The Elm Street sign is just so funny to me, cause, like. Freddy's power comes from knowledge of him. So that sign would literally only exist to explicitly kill people.

[@iateyoface9d7]

You brought up the Silent Hill thing and I almost threw a punch. You then confirmed it was a lie and I sheathed my punch. Crisis averted.

[@ron234halt]

So which town _is_ actually the basis for *Silent Hill?*

[@iateyoface9d7]

@ron234halt From what I remember, it's just the Japanese idea of a midwestern US town. No particular basis or direct inspiration for the setting: not meant to be a bustling city or quiet countryside. It's a known fact that the fog was a hardware limitation in the first game and they just kinda ran with it because it helped atmosphere.

[@bambidyke]

I read "sheathed my teeth" and had a visceral reaction

[@synthwavecat96]

I live 20 minutes from Centralia. Been there three times. There's no wartime defenses there.

[@alexanderchippel]

The second one is about Centralia. It's an old ghost town that back in the day had a mine fire that is still burning due to the high about of coal dust. I have no idea why they they would say anything about WW2 defences because; 1. A ground invasion of America from Europe is nearly impossible and even if it was, defenses wouldn't be put up until an invasion was under way. 2. You'd have to go past like 3 states before you get to PA if there was an invasion. 3. The sign says "underground mine fire."

[@1gient]

Try the other way, US also fought a pacific front and actually prevented several Aleutian invasions. One was of Dutch Harbor where they picked up the first intact zero fighter (and the only one to make it through the defenses at Dutch Harbor). There's also a small island absolutely littered with WWII debris. Not sure if they actually left any defenses, I would assume no. There's some Civil War ordinance left around but they're like finding gold from how rare they are. Of course that's not a ground invasion nor is it on the east coast let alone a mostly landlocked state.

[@xe8905]

Whoever organized the slideshow saw "mine" and immediately jumped to landmine

I live near woolacombe bay, and I love it when youtubers read out the names of local villages partly because its like a shoutout and also because they have an american accent and pronounce it wrong. You did pronounce it wrong, but thats not a bad thing because there would be no way for you to find out how to pronounce it, and its quite funny. I appreciate the work you put in to researching this stuff because I never knew that they used to do wartime drills at woolacombe, but I was aware of it at a different beach called slapton sands on the south coast. Its pronounced more like woollercome if you were wondering, but I doubt you'll ever need to say it again.

In order to do the percentage of something you have to do ((4.5*100)/8) basically the amount u got * 100 / by the total of that amount

[@YesterdayIstoday-vu4oo]

Bro what? Percentage is out of 100, to get a percentage from 4.5/10, you need to multiply both numbers to get to 100. 4.5 x 10 = 45, 10 x 10=100 so you get 45/100 or 45%

[@meanie5416]

for the sign where its like “Theres ww2 defenses in Pennsylvania” there isn’t but in maryland (south of Pennsylvania) there is the Aberdeen Proving Ground, which is a military test and clean up site. they clean up hazardous wastes, and it is where Edgewood Arsenal is. It has existed for 100 years. A lot of the area near it is prohibited from the public because of the old dangerous materials they still clear out. They still do cleanup sites (in MD and other states as well) so, while there def isn’t WW2 things around, there are hazardous areas around areas of the east coast due to military testing. (also Pennsylvania has superfund sites which are from pollution.)

[@RedTail1-1]

The Internet needs more people like you willing to put in the effort. I know how much effort it takes to actually do all of this, and how difficult it is to get past the initial "I should make a video about this" and actually start doing it. So thank you very much. You give people something to share with their friends when being sent another stupid scary meme for the thousandth time.

[@Raccoon12008]

History expert here, World war 2 defenses does not mean explosives, If they were to refer to something explosive it would directly say so no need to be scared, the defenses they are referring to are concrete barriers and hedgehogs, which are giant x shape peices of metal to keep tanks from driving forward, so you don't have to worry about stepping on land mines or unexploded bombs

[@aviancoleslaw]

As someone who interacts with plenty of farmers, manure fumes are really dangerous. The worst thing is when someone tries to rescue the first person. It will end in tears. Just not theirs.

[@kyototomokui6676]

The town from the film adaptations of the first and third games is LOOSELY based on Centralia, but Centralia itself was not the inspiration for Silent Hill.

Fun fact: In PA we do in fact have stuff going back to WW2, they weren’t defenses, but bunkers that had TNT, dynamite, and other explosives in em. And you can walk around and go inside them today!

[@noahhasdisconnected5214]

I live in South-Wales and can confirm you can find signs warning about explosives on beaches. Places like Horton are where you can find those signs. US troops would train there in preparation for D-Day and there are multiple people living here who remember being little kids on the coast lines watching US troops behind wired fences. Unfortunately, this lead to some cows dying due to mines aswell :(

[@vectorwolf]

The thing about Silent Hill being based on Centralia is because the art director of the /movie/ said they were inspired by it, since they wanted a clear reason for the 'permanent fog' shrouding the town, and it ended up being conflated with the game as an inspiration. In the movie, the 'fog' is indeed ashfall from a subterranean mine fire.

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

Idk about the original games, but I do know that Roger Avary (who wrote the Silent Hill movie- and also co-wrote Pulp Fiction btw) used Centralia as his main inspiration when coming up with the imagery used in the Silent Hill movie.

[@androgynylunacy]

[@kingdunnad]

Garden manure is fine, especially if it's only a small pile. If there's a bigger pile (more like the size of one of those big bins) those can set themselves on fire if the conditions are right, but as far as I know they don't give off gases the same way. Disclaimer: this is just based on my experience, I am not an expert.

[@SpecialInterestShow]

@@kingdunnad hm, okay. Probably wouldn't hurt to have the PPE on anyway just in case. But good to know I shouldnt have to be paranoid about it

[@peytonrobinson1067]

Only big piles can produce enough gasses to be dangerous for short term exposure. Garden manure shouldn't produce near enough gas to be a threat unless you stay very near/over it for a extended period of time.
