That's a meme? I've never seen that photo before in my life and I'm pretty aware of most memes.
There are more memes than one person can know.

Just google 'tank of the lake, what is your wisdom' and you can catch up on a new meme genre
I think a very small number of people today are aware of Arthurian legend. I think I have heard the phrase "lady of the lake" before but never really knew any context around it until I just now searched the term. I would have guessed it was the name of a ship or something.

Going to be a different atom once you walk near. Or temperature changes, the wind blows, and so on. We’ll need to give each atom a unique ID. That would solve the problem.
IPv8 is accepting RFCs
Earth has about 2^170 atoms. If we ignore the core and mantle, focusing on the crust, surface and atmosphere, we should be able to cram it into IPv6. Even if we add a couple planets and moons in the future. At least if we stop giving each person 18 quintillion IPs just because we once thought encoding MAC addresses in the lower 64 bits was a good idea.

IPv8 is accepting RFCs
There are 10^80 atoms in the universe, therefore 266 bits are enough to give each a unique identifier. Due to how computers work maybe we can do two numbers: a 32-bit type or area code and a 256-bit counter. Or perhaps we just combine them into a single 272 or 288 or 320-bit number.
Time for Intel to climb out of the pit by introducing x86_266

#47I haven't seen the lake tank image being used as a meme anywhere, except now or maybe I have to explore the world of memes some more. Hats off to all who helped each other find this once lost story from history.

Went there for the first time and found out it's banned in my country.

How would that be very different? I sent that prompt now and got a similar response, not as detailed, but the summary is correct and the same.

Yeah and I seriously question what feels like “I couldn’t find anything about this in Google therefore nobody knows anything about this”. [1] I worked in a specialized reference library for a while and it was very eye-opening to see university students fail to find, say, 90% of our materials. [1] Quoting: > However, no-one seems to know the origins of the image
Do you have a go-to bit of advice you give to students who you've spotted are lacking research (and just plain search) skills?
(i.e. Something to kickstart them in the right direction, not just a way of saying "learn how to search better!")

#50Germans pioneers wore white uniforms? That sounds like the worst possible colour for digging ditches, recovering tanks or camouflage (if it isn't snowing). Why would they do that? Did Hugo Boss do the design?
From the link, the white pants are part of the "Drillich" work uniform. From searching around, these were intended as work uniforms / overalls. You were intended to wear these (there were both pants and jackets) over your actual uniform, and these would take the abuse.
It seems like the early war patterns were simply undyed. Mid-war versions were apparently dyed darker.
Here's a forum with a bunch of pictures of examples: https://www.militariacollectors.network/forums/topic/4042-th...
