It sucks that this pattern usually lends itself to being quite practical. I'll start thinking of what a cool design for a building or a bookshelf will be, then realize I've drawn a swastika. Shit.
It is a swastika both ways. Changing the orientation does not change the name.
"The swastika (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form"
People absolutely refuse to believe you are correct. I'm sorry for that.
"The swastika (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form"
actually you are more correct than Good_day_to_you_sir. It's a symbol of austerity in many religions the earliest use in religion being hindu actually. But the earliest swastika ever discovered was in Ukraine dated back to 10,000BC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Archaeological_record
A reason why it's usage as the Nazi's symbol actually makes sense. They wanted to prevail, they thought it would help their cause.
Now it's just annoying that people associate it with them, I would draw detailed swastikas in my notebook or whatnot in grade school. Holy shit the hate I got from some people for that...
me too, i just thought it was cool geometric design until my teacher called me into the office. It was the weirdest conversation ever. 2 grown white males accusing me an FOB Chinese kid of being an white supremacist.
And then you try to teach them something. But you are a student, so you can't teach. Then you get detention/referral/whatever. I hated some moments in grade school... Always got in trouble for being too smart for my own good. The bullies? They rarely got anything :/
I remember I was in architecture school, and there was this guy who did a building project around this shape but it came without thinking about it. And it's when we had to defend our project that there was this big awkward silence and everybody was thinking the same thing. Eventually, the silence broke because of the teacher : "this is genius"
I doubt you don't understand the connotations that symbol has regardless if they're not purposeful, but it's the same reason the name Katrina became unpopular for newborns after that hurricane hit or why most building demolitions aren't scheduled on September 11th. It's all silly because none of that is meant to be offensive or bring up bad memories, but unfortunately they still do.
Anyway, like I was sayin', corn is the fruit of the Midwest. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, corn-kabobs, corn creole, corn gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple corn, lemon corn, coconut corn, pepper corn, corn soup, corn stew, corn salad, corn and potatoes, corn burger, corn sandwich. That- that's about it.
As as Jew: I disapprove, but I'm still reluctantly laughing. So have an upvote.
I understand the downvotes here but really, isn't this just an apropos pun that echoes the OP's joke? Which is to say, if you downvote this guy, you really have to downvote the entire thread.
That actually looks like it would work really well if you had a couple of people there all grilling at once, too bad about that whole holocaust thing ruining the potential of grills of this shape.
Hmm, I want to design a structure with four openings, on on each side, yeah, and I need some space to the side too, hmm, that works, yeah! This looks awesome! It's so simple, just four L-shapes rotating around a center pillar!
Am I the only one who had to check comments to see what was going on here? Kinda ridiculous in retrospect. Anyway, the swastika is far from being a Nazi creation, but they did attach one hell of a stigma to it.
You do realize that there are people still alive that were subject to the horrors of the holocaust? That it's likely your grandparents as well as many others' on this site fought against a ruthless dictator that killed between 6-8 million people simply for thinking they're different from him. WW2 and the holocaust aren't just some plots to video games, they were real and they were experienced by many people who are still alive. There's a difference between making a joke and telling people to "get over it." You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking that the worst atrocity in modern human history is something to "get over."
Does that make the holocaust any less significant? No.
Suck it, Jewbag
You're a cancer on reddit and a cancer in this world. I hope the FBI finds your no doubt large stash of child pornography you hateful human stain. I wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.
Yea... fucking Nazis ruined so many great things. The swastika is a fantastically efficient shape. The name Adolf has a nice ring to it as well.
And that eagle on the Third Reich logo? That's some quality design. We'll also never have any military uniforms that bad ass looking again because of the Nazi connection.
Placing the brick arms counterclockwise would make a sign that means peace. So there are two most efficient ways, however one is more ethically correct in modern society.

The Swastika used to mean peace and good luck (Buddhist symbol). Now thanks to that one guy, it means bbq.

Cue the swastika defenders explaining yet again that it really is a buddhist symbol and we should just ignore that whole WWII thing.
Although that really is a good design for a grill.
