Fun fact during ww1 when the British first rolled down tanks on the Germans, there actually wasn’t a word in the German language for “tank” like armored tank.

historical "fun"-fact, the word tank is german and literally means tank, because the ww1 tanks looked like big watertanks. Later it changed to Panzer, which literally means armor

[@Leo-ok3uj]

@@caked3953 Actually no, like absolutely no, the word tank is English, was named that way because they wanted that the germans in WW1 to believe they were working with water tanks Also, the A7V (the first german tank) was refered as SturmPANZERwagen by the germans already during is first tests Somehow, someway every single word you said was wrong, panzer doesn’t even really means “armor”, “plating” is actually a better translation

[@Tuning3434]

@@Leo-ok3uj I am not so confident about your statement regarding 'panzer', just by observing 'panzer' means the same as the dutch 'pantser', which very much means 'armour' in all usage's. But than again, it isn't like the first tanks where really armoured beyond protected against shell splinters and small arms fire. But yeah, tank is an English word. The Tank Museum has some great video's on the origins of the tank out there.

Of course my really short comment is a oversimplification of a more complex topic, deriving from a complex chain of reasons, I just put an interesting ( and you could argue incomplete ) fact under a short reaction video about an infomercial from the german military from an american in Korea.

"Susprisingly syrup was invented by indigenous people living in the north east of North America. Though I'm sure we've slightly changed the ingredients" Does Drew not know what Maple Syrup is? It's just tree sap. It doesn't have "ingredients".

[@un_of_earth]

Tree sap is one of the ingredients

[@ellaser93]

A lot of the Maple Syrup you buy in the store is just Corn Syrup with Maple Flavoring. So, there is that point. Even brands of "Real Maple Syrup" that use the Sap from a Maple Tree will frequently have other sugars and colorings added. So yes, the colonizers have definitely changed the ingredients from what the natives originally made.
