3:45 By the way, if anyone's left wondering, "Formosa" means "Beautiful" in Portuguese, and I'd say that the name does fit the natural beauty of the island of Taiwan.

[@niume7468]

Taiwan belongs to Albania

[@OniGarro]

In Italian the word formosa literally means... Shapeful? From Forma = Shape, but the right english translation should be "buxom". Romania instead uses a very similar word same way as in Portuguese with frumoasa meaning beautiful.

They also don't eat nearly as often as mammal pets, that's why crocodilians survived the dinosaur asteroid, even though they were big they only needed to eat once a year. That's also the reason why dinos went extinct,they were warm blooded with a metabolism close to mammals and birds(the only dinosaurs that survived).

8:31 They couldn't off Napoleon, the main reason why all the monarchies around France wanted to put revolutionary France down is because they killed their king which they said you're never supposed to do since kings are ''chosen by God''. Napoleon had been crowned emperor by the pope meaning he officially was a monarch now as well. If they killed him, it would have weakened their own position and would have made it a lot more likely that they'd end up facing the guillotine in their own country. Besides, since they were the ones who declared war on France, not the other way around, Napoleon technically hadn't done any crime they could execute him for.

[@gandalf_thegrey]

For most of time you were just guilty of losing and killed based upon that. This major change of monarchs not killing monarch is quite "recent" and especially due to absolutism. Before that, everyone was free game. Who gonna get angry? The country you just beat up and killed their leader?

10:03 The reason why stormtroopers have "bad aim", is because of a miss understanding of why they didn't hit anyone. The reason they didn't hit anyone is, because they wanted the rebels to lead them to their base, so they could destroy it, and because they wanted information from them of other rebel outposts.

[@waynejohnson1786]

That’s exactly what a stormtrooper would say

[@stephenwells6434]

That itself is a misunderstanding. Although it is true that high ranking officers like Tarkin and Darth Vader wanted the rebels to escape, the stormtroopers were not informed of this plan. Obi-Wan overheard a conversation between stormtroopers that made clear that they were completely in the dark about what was going on. The stormtroopers had bad aim because of poor training and the restricted vision of their helmets.

[@youraverageoperator]

The reason they didn't kill Napolean was because he was, technically, a monarch. And if they killed him, it would set the precedent of, If you capture an enemy monarch, you can execute him. Which nobody wanted to be a thing.

Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 105] The Republic F-105 Thunderchief is an American supersonic fighter-bomber that served with the United States Air Force from 1958 to 1984. Capable of Mach 2, it conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of the Vietnam War; it was the only American aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates.[1] It was originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft; a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was commonly known as the "Thud" by its crews.

[@MissCheeseE]

They Japanese had already planned to surrender to the British before the bombs were dropped. They heard the British and Soviets along with the US could attack the country, they sent a messenger to the Brits, but they US didn’t know and dropped the bomb after a miss translation. The US sent a message to the Japanese asking to surrender, to which the Japanese responded with “no comment”.
