        It’s talked about in this thread. The short version that IBM built a logistics machine for the Nazis that was used to coordinate the transport of supplies for the war effort and transporting people to concentration camps.

        TL:DR: IBM sold machines to the Nazis that they used to track down people to put into concentration camps. It would’ve been harder to do if they had to rely on paper records only.

  I remember when he told that story, it was something like this: one company which I don’t want to name, so will just say it’s initials - IBM

      Binged (the search engine) and binged (the eating disorder/content consumption method) look identical and this fucks me up.

        Homographs are wild. I wish I could be around in a thousand years when scholars are arguing over interpretations of every day English sentences; especially idioms.

        That’s what Binging with Babish ran into early on I believe. Not sure he is still around, his early stuff was fun though
