An Italian atheist group wanted to advertise on buses “The bad news is that God does not exist. The good news is you don’t need it”. When they were refused, they changed it to “The good news is there are millions of atheists in Italy. The excellent news is they believe in freedom of speech”.

The post Fascinating Facts That’ll Make You Think appeared first on UberFacts.
Patriotism is complicated and it varies among people. And it’s obviously totally different depending on the country that you come from.
Americans are typically pretty patriotic people and I think many of them would say they’d die for their country.
But it is a very complicated question…
AskReddit users shared their thoughts.
“If we were under threat then yeah. I
f we weren’t under threat and Boris was like, “let’s invade [insert Middle Eastern country]” then no.”
“If there was a real enemy threatening to invade and kill or enslave my loved ones then yes
But for oil? Not happening.”
“That’s a strong no.
No politicians are willing to work for the country.
Losing my life for the war created by them is nothing but vain.”
“No. Not inherently.
Dying (and worse, killing) simply ‘for your country’ has been the anthem of leaders sending the young and terrified to die in battle for centuries.
I would, however, die for the people I love, the places I choose to make my life in and the core ideals I consider most important for the benefit of mankind. At the very least, I’d go into battle for them.
What I’d really be thinking just before I die is unknowable to me – maybe I’d regret it all.
I dunno.”
“In defense of my people, sure.
Attacking to give my people an economic advantage, no way.”
“I would die for my friends and family.
I wouldn’t die for my country, it doesn’t care for me individually.
I just happen to live here.”
“Defensively: probably. If you are defending home and family it makes sense
Offensively: hell no. How many offensive wars in history were justified?
I die trying to kill some other guy just defending his home so some aristocrat a thousand kilometers away can have his moment?”
“As a Hongkonger, I would die for my people against my ‘country’.”
“Nah.
I’m not dying for an oil company.”
“Absolutely not.
I’ll fight tooth and nail for my family, but that’s it.”
“Hell no.
Its a random assortment of strangers, a government I have no say in and a flag I don’t care about.”
“Ireland is a small nation. We dont have much in defense. No aircraft artillery, tanks, or anything. We need our allies more than ever.
But if it came down to invasion by anyone or army of any size. I’d d*mn well defend it with everything I got.
Because its gonna take a whole lot to make us Irish quit.”
“Nope.
I don’t care about serving and protecting arbitrary lines on a map.
Most don’t, most who enlist only do it for the free college, adventure, etc. No one’s died protecting my country from an actual threat since WW2. All the deaths since then have been for absolutely nothing.
Decades of men and women sent off to die for nothing. It’s infuriating, and no one cares. I respect those who give a sh*t and would sign up if there was an actual threat, and I pity those who have or do serve and actually think anything they did/do is protecting anyone they love.
It’s all a game, paid for in blood. And everyone pretends it’s okay to just carry on like that.
Not a game I’ll ever be playing.”
“The question hits pretty differently depending on where you live. When we are talking about defending Finland, we are talking about a situation where a small country known for it’s well-being, happiness and progress is being attacked by a corrupt and oppressive mafia state with population almost 30 times larger.
The original question sounds very different if you are an American with knowledge about the recent history of American military involvement than it sounds for a generic Finn.”
Finns aren’t openly that patriotic but when it comes to defending this land we are f*cking mental. We have had this discussion many times in school and with my friends and basically everyone says they would give their life for this country.”
“There’s a big difference between dying for your country and dying in the name of it.
Would I die to advance our medical knowledge or environment or something? Sure.
Would I die because some politician got angry at another country?
No thank you.”
Now we want to hear from you.

The post Enjoy These Quality Facts That May Teach You Something appeared first on UberFacts.
This year has been very…challenging so far.
Every single thing that could have gone wrong seems to have happened and we’re only halfway through 2020.
But, as you know, it’s important to remain positive and to at least hope that things will get better.
So let’s all be good to each other and pray that things turn around quickly.
Folks on AskReddit offered their opinions on what could possibly redeem 2020.
“While searching for a Covid-19 treatment, someone discovers a cheap broad spectrum anti-viral.
Think the discovery of penicillin, just for viruses.”
“Someone discovers how to cure cancer cheaply and easily.”
“I currently have a crush on a girl who works at the bank. I’m not sure if she is interested in me as well. I get a little nervous when I talk to her. I think she already knows I am interested in her.
If I get the chance to ask her out on a date and she says yes, I will climb a mountain and yell with happiness that she said yes.”
“Love, understanding, patience.
For me 2020 is like winter in Game of Thrones. So what would redeem 2020 is for people to realize that life is crazy for everyone but when we work together with love, understanding and patience we can go through anything and actually thrive.
It’s like the saying goes: when the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. Humanity is the ultimate pack. If people realize this we will not only have redeemed 2020 but every single year after that as well.”
“The government forgiving my wife and my student loans for being essential healthcare workers.”
“Everyone actually judging people by their actions and the end of identity politics.”
“Governments and massive organisations taking climate change seriously and actually doing something about it to reverse the problem….”
“A drastic change of how our governments are functioning and how the officials that are supposed to protect us are operating.
It’s time that the main goals of a country aim to protect its people – not profit off of and harm all who serve to protect the corrupt at little personal gain.”
“A sense of humanity and responsibility amongst everyone.
When humans feel responsible not just for themselves but for others, the good and well being of all.
That would redeem everything.”
“To have all the governments, secret services, special forces, security/intelligence agencies, secret religious ‘guardians of the truth’ societies, etc WORLDWIDE come clean with all their dirty secrets, lies and misinformation.
Fucking waterboard the lot of them if that’s what it takes. Then, when everyone is on the same page and the conspiracy theorists are happy (they can be quiet for a while then, too), we can actually start to right some wrongs, and maybe, just maybe, humanity can advance in unity towards a common goal.
No one gets out of life alive, most of us ultimately want the same things, so if we can get our shit together, start playing on the same team, share knowledge/resources, and have some fucking compassion/empathy/respect for one another, 2020 might be salvageable. I dunno.
Send everyone to their rooms and don’t let them out until they’re ready to give it a go??”
“David Bowie is found to not be dead after all but has spent years in hiding recording new music.”
“The cure to COVID-19 turns out to be hidden in cannabis plants and the whole world decriminalizes’ it making it legal worldwide.”
“World wide ban on punishment for being lgbtq+.
Not yet marriage everywhere. Just no more beatings and executions. No one going to jail for being queer. I would also hope that the BLM protests make a big change. Less murdering black trans women would be a nice touch.”
“Benevolent aliens landing on Earth and staging an intervention, bringing gifts of science, knowledge and humanity.”
“Not sure about the rest of the world, But I know what could be great for America.
Covid 19 bringing a complete reset in the health industry. Changing it from ridiculously priced treatment to affordable prices for basic human rights.
Not only that, but due to the protests a complete change in law enforcement as well so there’s no situations where law enforcement has the ability to shoot down someone non hostile.
These two changes would be well worth the 6 months of quarantine and poverty Covid has brought on the world.”
Okay, now we want to hear from you!
In the comments, tell us about how you think this disastrous year can be redeemed.

The post How Can 2020 Possibly Be Redeemed? People Offer Their Opinions. appeared first on UberFacts.
When the books are written, 2020 is gonna be a big chapter, probably up there with 1968.
We have civil unrest, protests, a divided populace, a health crisis, and a whole other host of issues we’re dealing with right now.
So, what could possibly redeem 2020?
Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.
“Scientists discover that a unique side-effect experienced by COVID survivors is that their lungs develop the ability to sequester carbon directly from the air, which gets processed in their bodies and harmlessly removed in their stool.
And that’s how COVID becomes the unexpected cure for climate change and carbon pollution.
Which sounds silly, but I also never in a million years would have guessed that 2020 would see the revival of drive-in cinema (still hard to believe I’m typing this), so what the hell?”
“Benevolent, advanced aliens publicly stepping in to correct the course of our civilization.”
“Progress.
Actual remedies for the problems that got us here.
Criminal Justice Reform and and Public Health policy that prevents pandemics instead of just reacting to them.”
“Scientists find a cure for Covid and miraculously Cancer as well.
Government works out universal health care, universal basic income. The mars rover accidentally trips the the alien tera-forming button a-la Total Recall.
Elon Musk unveils he’s invented teleportation and an unlimited energy supply. Peace reins across the world. Atlantis is discovered.
We receive contact from an alien society that was just waiting for us to evolve enough to be civil in the universal society.
We learn all of us are one and the cosmos groove electric.”
“People realize how unity is required to overcome the most difficult challenges on earth so people come together to challenge, among other things:
Global Warming
Income Inequality
Racism.”
“If a bag filled with $50,000,000,000 in crisp thousand dollar bills suddenly falls from the sky and lands in my front yard…”
“The anti-maskers realize what idiots they’ve been and stop making everything worse with their conspiracy theories and dumbfuckery.”
“At least for here in America, the election of a candidate who takes the role of president seriously, can lead us through national tragedies, and organize people to find solutions rather than cause more problems.”
“Free universal wifi released without comcast or Verizon stopping it somehow.
Jeff Bezos decides to open a new warehouse in every major city, but instead turns them into homeless shelters.
The government gets out of the student loan game. Causing tuition to drop and loans to become affordable again.
Cure for cancer
Game of thrones releases a secret 9th season with 10 episodes showing brann brann having visions of season 8 making it retconned.
Me getting a girlfriend.”
“The national legalization of weed in the US that would make my year.”
“Big steps being made to mitigate the climate catastrophe we have waiting for us in the next decade or two.”
“4-day work weeks, universal income, social reform.”
“A certain US president losing his reelection might be a start on the path to redemption.
But the broad spectrum antiviral discovery would be good too.”
“Making people more educated on how can we to do something for one another with love and compassionate to one another.”
“For America, most immediately, it would be shutting things down. No talk of the NFL returning, shops reopening, K-12 schools reopening, or colleges reopening in the fall.
Ideally, we would lock things down solidly through the end of the year, suspend nonessential travel between states, and find funds to support everyone through this. If other countries can do it, and if we always find funds to bail out banks and corporations, why not care for our people?
Employers would be required to allow employees to work from home, and justify why others must remain onsite. Those who must work onsite would have access to daily testing via their employer. Free testing for everyone, and free care for those who test positive.
To continue this fantasy, employers would also be required to develop policies for employees to work offsite long-term, and face real penalties for firing employees or outsourcing jobs. Again, ideally, this would bring about a shift in management models nationwide.
I think we have a tendency to think that all of this, from the inability to have a football season to universities only offering online classes, is a permanent thing, and it isn’t–or it doesn’t have to be, if we really make an attempt at locking down.
Other things that seem unrealistic atm, but could be possible some day: voting from home, more options for students to learn remotely, and for free, a total revamp of the current K-12 curriculum, free healthcare, free assessments and mental healthcare starting in childhood, better support systems in communities, especially for our poorest, youngest and elderly members, truly separating church and state, getting money out of politics, everyone having the time and inclination to pay attention to and get involved with local, state, and national politics, reigniting an interest in recycling and conservation, giving people the time, money, resources, and freedom for self-actualization from an early age.
There are so many things that would make 2020 and our future better.”
“It turns out 2020 was just the introduction to 2021 when all of humanity gets an extremely fast change of mentality. By 2025 we turn this bitch around and the world turns into something similar to an utopian planet where there’s no crime, corruption or prejudice. We finally reach the golden age.
Science, education and culture get all the funding that we gave to military and marketing, so within 20 years we colonize other planets, and by 2070 we start colonizing other galaxies too.
By 2147 we discover traces of an unknown element on one of the surrounding planets. Two years later a weird crate is found on mars, holding some advanced technology. Scientist study it and quickly find out how mass effect fields work, which results in humans finally discovering Faster Than Light travel.
But before we can even get to use it, we find out that one of Pluto’s moons is actually some technology, some kind of relay, that’s been there for thousands of years. We dig it up only to realize that it’s a mass effect relay that basically teleports you to various parts of space.
In 2157, the first contact is made.”
What do you think?
What could happen that would redeem this awful year?

I’ve been pretty obsessed with the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy since I was a little kid.
Who was behind it?
The Mafia? The Cubans? Russians? Or was it just a lone wolf, like the government would have us believe?
The JFK assassination is just one of many conspiracy theories that people can spend a lot of time researching.
Can some of them possibly be true?
Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this subject.
“The 1975 dismissal of the then Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitam (by the Governor General) was actually a British/American backed CIA coup, in order to prevent the nationalisation of Australia’s mining sector.”
“Yuri Gagarin wasn’t the first man in space, just the first to come back alive.”
“There’s a very high chance that a nuclear test took place by Israel and South Africa in 1979 and that the United States covered it up for political reasons.”
“Can’t believe nobody has said this already: I am somewhat suspicious of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination.
Just before the shooting occurred, a police radio call announced an active shooter and car chase on the opposite side of town and requested back up, lots of back up. Almost all of the cops on duty that day responded leaving 1 or 2 to respond to the King shooting. There was no car chase, no other shooter, and no one ever found out who made that radio call.”
“The identity of Jack the Ripper was known to the police.
He was actually detained and questioned by police before being released. He then left the country before they could rearrest him. Scotland Yard then covered up their failure, which snowballed into one of the biggest serial killer conspiracy theories in history.
This is supported by the fact that 132 years later, they are still withholding the case files and decline all Freedom of Information application as the files “may have an impact on living persons”.
“Certain Governments are actively working against environmental legislation because their countries have access rights to resources buried under the Arctic that they want to exploit once the ice caps melt.”
“Worldwide pedophile rings, and their involvement in Epstein´s murder.
I’m not talking about the adrenochrome shit, that’s just made up bullshit. I believe that Epstein was murdered to cover up larger pedophile rings.
Imagine this: you have a deal to expose all your clients, and have at least a little bit less strict prison sentence in exchange, and then you just hang yourself in your cell, when you have no way of knowing that the cameras are out, when no guards control your cell the way they should.
Seems like there are too many coincidences in this one for it to be just a random suicide.
I saw some autopsy photos, discussed the matter with my dad (who is an ex-cop who saw a couple of suicide victims, both saving them from the nooses, and on the table), and he said that he had never seen anyone with strangling marks in the middle of their neck that wasn’t a murder, since most hanging suicide victims have the marks right under their chin.
If Epstein survived, and still gave out the list, it could have had a couple of added names, but there are pretty big chances that some of his clients might have been involved in other pedophile rings, much larger than what his ring.
Shit just doesn’t add up.”
“That the term conspiracy theorists was coined by the CIA to make a mockery of people who put facts together out of loop of main stream media to se what was happening behind the scenes.
That turned into flat earthers, reptilian royals and whatever else falling under the same umbrella and skewering the public perception of theorists.
Many theories proved true ( CIA funneling drugs into the USA) but they fall under the umbrella as “moon landing fake” so people don’t really pay attention.”
“Amelia Earhart didn’t crash, she was shot down by the Japanese because she was taking spy photos for the US government.
The timeline and geography makes sense, and other aviators of the time were approached with similar missions.”
“The lottery is designed to catch time travelers.
Is that why a myriad of bad things starts happening to them after they win? It’s actually pretty logical…”
“The failed coup in Turkey being staged by Erdogan.
It was just too perfect for him. Just at the right moment when he was popular and ready to take power a weak coup happens, giving him the perfect opportunity to crack down on any opposition? Come on.
He even said it was a gift from God himself.”
“During last federal election in Brazil, a far-right candidate to presidency was stabbed during a rally.
This candidate was from a small party and did not have time on television to promote himself (less than 30s), but after that it was news in every news. Also because of the stabbing, he was on medical leave and did not participate of any debates between candidates. The main doctor from the team that operates the candidate was a well-known oncologist in Brazil.
Well, the candidate was Bolsonaro and the stabbing boost his campaign and he won.
After the election, the guy who stabbed was declare with mental issues and is on special-hospital-jail while we discover that he was practicing gun fire in the same school/field as bolsonaro’s son (which this guy clearly could not pay for) and had a high-profile lawyer (again, who is paying for this?)
The conspiracy theory is: Bolsonaro had cancer and create this circus to operate while boosting his chances on the election.”
“Every time these threads come around, people always talk about the big national conspiracies. I’ll let you all in on a very rural town conspiracy.
I graduated high school with a gentleman that would eventually become a cop. Kid came from a military family, was an avid gamer and DnD player, and was generally a great guy. I know he wanted to join the military like his father but he was barred due to some weird physical condition he had.
Instead of the military, he goes into the police department and becomes a local cop. He’s still a pretty good guy, but you know how life goes on after HS. We talked less and less, etc. He even pulled my wife over once for a ticket but let her go once he recognized her. His family were super proud of him as well.
Suddenly, I receive bad news from a buddy of mine. My cop friend committed suicide in his house once it was discovered he was apparently selling kiddie pornography.
Other local cops surrounded his house, he sent his fiance outside to surrender, and then turned his pistol on himself. It was sad of course, and many people were upset in the local community. However, it never sat well with me.
His family always contested the claims of kiddie porn too. The report stated they found a large amount of it on all of his computers and hard-drives. My deceased friend loved building computers, and had lots of parts.
The local police seized ALL of his equipment. Afaik, they never returned any of it. It would seem odd that someone so intelligent would be stupid enough to just download kiddie porn and place it on their hard-drives. Perhaps he wasn’t as smart as I thought, but it just never sat well with me.
Furthermore, his partner that he was seen with suddenly disappeared from the public eye. Not a month after my friend committed suicide, this particular cop quit the force and just left town. To this day, no one knows where he went or why he disappeared. My buddies family has tried to press the police department for information but they never said anything beyond “He doesn’t want to be a cop anymore”.
Most people would argue that people leave jobs all the time, but this particular guy had lots of family here, including a wife and kids. He apparently just skipped town and sent divorce papers to his wife, and then was never heard from again.
Its never sat right with me, especially since my friend was so happy to be a cop. Maybe I completely just missed this side of him, or maybe I am looking too deeply into this. But still, I think it’s definitely weird how the timeline of events lined up.
