Almost like torture is a really good tool for getting people to talk, and a very bad tool for getting them to tell the truth.
Turns out torturers are just really lonely and want someone to talk to
Describes the worst customers in retail too.
Both also inflict torture. Curious.
Torture’s ‘appropriate’ use case is to ask multiple people questions and then compare the results to find commonalities. Torturing one person is essentially useless.
Thanks, will try that next time
You should watch The Torture Report with Adam Driver. It’s a very good examination of how torture programs start and then continue due to a need to prove they were justified in the first place.
Lmao just put them under oath
Oh no, he had his fingers crossed!
Nope, they were just mangled from the brutal torture 🤷
This guy should have went on to open a chain of sex toy shops.
Or a happy meal toy for adults
Elmo loves torture, and he’s a billionaire so it totally must work great!

Damn, Sesame Street got dark since I was a kid
“Elmo just asking questions.”
“Elmo wonders if there is going to be a country after this?”
As you know, when atoms are split, there are a lot of pluses and minuses released. Well, we’ve taken these and put them in a huge container and separated them from each other with a lead shield. When the box is dropped out of a plane, we melt the lead shield and the pluses and minuses come together. When that happens, it causes a tremendous bolt of lightning and all the atmosphere over a city is pushed back! Then when the atmosphere rolls back, it brings about a tremendous thunderclap, which knocks down everything beneath it.
Looks legit to me
I find it funny that the article says that he mistakenly describes an antimatter bomb, I mean how would he have known about an antimatter bomb?
For someone who has no idea about nuclear fission, he did a great job at making something up. His imagination was credible enough to safe his life.
“Mistakenly by coincidence”, in this case.
What he really described was… a capacitor. Except for the lead part. And one that would melt itself. But whatever worked.
“I already told you I don’t know anything about any f*cking setup. You can torture me all you want.”
“Torture you? That’s a good idea. I like that.”

Japan would have fought until they all died regardless. The nukes gave the Emperor an excuse to override the military leaders and ordered them to surrender. This satisfied the Japanese code of “honour” because a God told them to commit a disgraceful act of surrender, not themselves. Even then, many still commited seppuku.
This is a pop culture myth. There was some resistance to the idea of unconditional surrender in the Japanese government (partly because of the emperor), but at the time the bombs were dropped, the Japanese leadership had agreed on surrender as their course of action and were attempting to strike a deal with the Soviet Union to mediate the terms on their behalf.
