The Nazi eugenics program was also strongly inspired by what the US was doing at the time.

It's just that the Nazi went a bit too far, too obvious (and mainly they lost the war). It was one of the arguments of the defense in the Nuremberg trial that the German eugenics differed little from what was practiced in the US.

I don't think so, I will definitely go back and do not wish to move permanently in another instance.

As others have said I think this instance has a strong base of dedicated users, it's a "specialized" instance that has no equivalent.

It's the opposite for me. I don't want the effect of alcohol, I just want a nice drink to complement my meal and is hard to find something that in neither sugary or alcoholic.

Man Bites Dog (C'est arrivé près de chez vous)

A mockumentary made by student filmmakers. The plot is that they are doing a documentary following the life of a serial killer.

The dark humor of this movie is incredibly disturbing but it's really a movie to watch.

The movie is available on archive.org : https://archive.org/details/man-bites-dog
