>Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds Holy fuck, simmer

>when you try to make a memorable quote but you fuck up the subject-verb agreement and your blunder will be remembered forever instead

>>1815969
I'd say it's more memorable with the grammatical fuck up. Brings the fact that they're nazi scientists into mind which brings up a lot more about the whole situation surrounding nukes.

"Nazi scientist" is going to be one hell of a term in the future, like Byzantine engineers or Persian mathematicians or Renaissance artists.

>>1815992
>Jew
>Nazi scientist

yeah no

>>1815969
Whats the grammar fuck up?

>>1816168
>>1816168
probably referring to 'i AM become death' even though it was intentional

>>1815826
>Holy fuck, simmer down chap. Talk about laying it on thick.


You don't understand the potential of nuclear weapons do you?

You just look at videos of them and think "Oh look a big boom. big whoop". But you're just not getting it. A single bomb the size of a car could completely level Manhattan. Imagine how that made the man feel after first witnessing that amount of power being unleashed, and he had a hand in it.

How was it intentional?

>fucks up his line when he steps off the thing

>>1815826
I mean, its understandable - what he's describing is the first time anyone in history discovered a weapon that could (and still can) destroy the world.

There is no grammatical error, it's just old English and its present-perfect sense - which stuck around from the original translations of the Bhagavad Gita

You can find it in other writings too
>Madam, the Lady Valeria is come to visit you.
The Tragedy of Coriolanus by William Shakespeare

>Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

>I am come in sorrow.

It was a quote Shiva said from Bhagavad Gita when he murdered everyone. Pretty thematic considering the impact of the bomb.

It's archaic grammar meant to sound dramatic

>>1816941
>meant to sound dramatic

No it isn't, it's a direct quote.

An atomic war wouldnt do shit to Earth in the long run. Long after we wipe ourselves out the Earth will keep on spinning

Not even the guy you're responding to but

>what is reading comprehension

>>1815826
He created, with his hard work as well as his team, and witnessed the power to end the human race. He knew he opened Pandora's box and there was no going back.

To witness the first successful atomic bomb detonation is probably an incomprehensible feeling.

>>1815969
It wasn't a grammatical error, that is the actual quote. The only real error is that the closer translation would be Time rather than Death but that's not as dramatic and both can be found depending on what you're reading.

>>1816853
I didnt think it was incorrect. OP is just a retard, as usual

Aren't the browsers here all spinoffs from /lit/? How the fuck did anyone think it was actually a grammatical error?

>>1817836
Mainly /pol/ really.

>>1817836
/lit/'s population is pretty small. /pol/'s population is very large.
Why would you think that /lit/ is majority?

>>1818196
>>1818271
>came here for histroy
>politics and philosophy have scared all real discussion away
>just pseudo intellectually shit post in bait threads now, occasionally finding so insightful discussion
Is this the /pol/ /lit/ experience?

>>1817836
I'm here from /k/.

>>1818287
It isn't that bad, stop whining. Go contribute some real/insightful discussion if you want it, keep on posting off topic if you don't.

Yeah I imagine the guys around him rolling their eyes when he said it, the edgelord

Also what a bunch of retards in the first part of this thread, it's not grammatically incorrect, leave /his/ please

>>1816998

Not mutually exclusive

I like the ole Engrish.

He's wrong though, that quote came from Shiva after the prince requested to see his multi-armed form.
Shiva was in human form, to convince the prince to fight in the war against his brothers.
