Apparently #Drachinifel managed to make himself quite sick making that video due to insufficient ventilation.

#Drachinifel The British got a standard daily ration of 1 pound of bread and 1 gallon of presumably terrible beer.

And he actually showed us what a gallon of beer looks like decanted.

#Drachinifel has done another food video, this time on the “food” for the Spanish Armada and their English opponents. And oh my lord the scare quotes are justified…

Someone in the comments on this video pointed out that no wonder Rodney gave such a beating to Bismarck because she was on her way for a nice and desperately needed refit over in the United States before she had to turn around.

It has the same energy as Will Smith's character in Independence Day dragging an alien along while yelling "I could've been at a barbecue!"

Brilliant quote from Drachinifel: "You had to be an octopus high on Panzerschokolade trying to play the pipe organ in order to keep everything working" 😂

Time for the next #Drachinifel #5MinuteGuide. This week is the Volkhov - a catamaran hulled submarine tender of the various Russian navies that commissioned in 1913 and apparently survived an entire century in service.

Renamed the Kommuna by the Communists.

I absolutely love this quote from this #Drachinifel video about the Directorate of Miscellaneous Weapons Development in Britain:

Taking a collection of mad scientists, garden shed inventors, young troublemakers, pyromaniacs and cat herders and giving them all a warehouse full of interesting spare parts, and after locking them up in there telling them if they came up with something interesting to help them beat the Nazis there might be a second or possibly even a third warehouse in it for them.

Time for the latest 5 minute guide from #Drachinifel. Who, as far as I’ve been able to determine, isn’t on Mastodon yet.

This week is the IJN Satsuma.

I'm listening to the audiobook of Our Man in Tokyo by Steve Kemper and stopped dead at this line:

"One story alleged that Japanese fishing boats were actually torpedo craft in disguise."

This was the American press in 1935. Those Japanese torpedo boats get around!
