TIL Tom Clancy’s stories were so detailed, many assumed he was ex-military. In fact he never served. He wrote most of his stories in his spare time whilst working as an insurance salesman.

He was actually interrogated by the Feds for this. 

He used logic to figure out the most efficient way the inside of a ship would be laid out. Said ship being a vessel in the United States Navy. It was so accurate that the DoD wanted to know who was giving him details about ship layouts because his description of areas included places civilians aren’t allowed to see ever.

I’m reminded of when Kubrick was making “Dr. Strangelove” and managed to get far too many of the details of the bomber used correct for the DoD to ignore, but he’d only ever seen a couple pictures of the outside of it and just managed to somehow get it right inside and out.

In 1944, Astounding Science Fiction published a serial called Deadline, by Cleve Cartmill, describing a nation at war secretly working on an atomic bomb. People working on the Manhattan Project at the time recognized a lot of information in there that was supposed to be top secret.

The FBI came to interrogate the magazine’s editor, John W. Campbell. He argued that there was nothing in there that a reasonably bright person couldn’t figure out or guess from publicly available information about how nuclear fission works, and the rest is just common sense extrapolation about how engineering works. Eventually, he convinced them that censoring the story halfway through would be much more suspicious than letting it finish.

Then, just as the agents were leaving, Campbell added “Oh, and by the way, I know you’re building The Bomb at Los Alamos, New Mexico.” It turns out about a quarter of the physicists in the US had suddenly changed their mailing address to the middle of the desert.

I looked this up and it is TRUE, Bye Bye Bye has reached number 86 on the charts as of the evening of November 7th. Other top 200 hits include Talkin’ About a Revolution by Tracy Chapman, Georgia On My Mind by Ray Charles, and Fuck You Goodbye by The Kid Laroi.

Reblogging this again to add that in addition to “Bye Bye Bye”, the following are also in the iTunes top 100 right now:

Absolutely outstanding work by the American people tonight.

TIL In 1774, Frederick the Great ordered Prussians to grow potatoes as protection against famine, but the populace were disgusted by them and refused. The king then planted “royal potato field” but allowed peasants to steal from it, which re-marketed the potato into a major food crop.

6D chess

what level of reverse psychology are you on

He didn’t just allow the peasants to steal from it, he deliberately hired guards to protect the field, making it seem valuable and ordered them to be lax in their patrols, so the valuable crop seemed like easy pickings, and even ordered them to accept all bribes and let the peasants go should the guards accidentally catch someone in the act of stealing the potatoes.

He want out of his way to make the damn things seem like the most valuable, but easiest thing to get hold of, in the world.

He’s living in 1750 but his thinking is 3035
