Was going to say β€œTankies gonna gang up on Wikipedia now,” until I remembered: they already dismiss Wikipedia as imperialist propaganda.

    That edition of Did you know is likely to be permanently archived here tomorrow.

    Nice that some of the military burden can be shored up by women at least. Despite the impressive k/d ratio, Ukraine is having trouble with supplying military-aged men to the armed forces. Russia is a lot bigger, and willing to resort to much nastier tactics to feed the grind with men.

    Yet you will find no shortage of men claiming women are unfit for the military.

    Well yeah, it's picture day! Like when you work from home you probably don't wear pants but you'd probably put on pants if you had to go in to the office.

    Gotta mog the Russians in style ✨

    Edit: but in all seriousness, it's a good war tactic to look really nice as a soldier while the other side has to rely on mules and fake helmets. Especially against a machoist culture like Russia. Imagine getting conscripted after finding out solders are getting literally slayed by a diva who looks pristine and you were raised in a culture where women are shown to be dainty and unfit for war (ironically this would have been less effective propaganda against early Soviet Union culture).

    It's similar to when the US Navy, while fighting Japan, made Ice Cream.
