BABY HITLER IS trending worldwide on Twitter as users grapple with the moral quandary: could you kill a baby Hitler?
The New York Times Magazine tweeted the question just an hour ago and the response has since taken over the social media site.
NYT Magazine / TwitterWe asked @nytmag readers: If you could go back and kill Hitler as a baby, would you do it? (What's your response?) pic.twitter.com/daatm12NZC

A total of 42% of readers decided they would do away with the infant future ruler of Germany, while 30% said no. A further 28% said they weren’t sure.
The response from users to the question has been varied.
Ben Norton / Twitter1. I would absolutely go back in time and kill Hitler

2. Unfortunately, killing baby Hitler alone would not have stopped the rise of fascism

Someone at the magazine thought the response was funny, at least.

I’d say you’re still entertained by someone jingling their keys ye?
Business
everything is called hacking these days. He repurposed a 3D printer.
Hacked me boll1x.
When I read the title I thought he did it remotely from his parents bedroom.
:-)
Yes I was expected a story about some unsuspecting professional printing out some plastic PDF getting hit in the face with a hockey puck, done remotely by some 11 year old hacker
Not a professional programmer who uses printing parts to make something ,
Booo
Fair play to him
The title of this story is very misleading
have your say
