Thank you, finally something sensible

Thanks

Way too much US-defaultism.

Yeah treat yourself. Get that child murdering machine 2000

How much is 16oz?

I don’t know where exactly maize was cultivated, but Mexico comes from city Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

They found millenia old traces of maize in the valley of the Rio Balsa in Xihuatoxtla and also in the valley of Tehuacán.

Something about Coxcatlán phase. Couldn’t find a name of a people who would have been responsible for the domestication.

It’s easiest to say it happened in Mesoamerica.

That 100% juices other than grape and apple are hard to find.

The “100%” on the front is very tricksy and wouldn’t fly in the EU.

It was deliberately put there to trick people into thinking 100% fruit content, but it’s actually whatever they could find in there that had anything to do with 100%.

Here, there’s always the fruit content up front, wether it’s 1%, 10%, 50% or 100%

The number 10’000 is calculated off of the birth rate of the USA.

Globally it should be one of the lucky 360’000.

I feel like someone who has tasted blackthorn berries pre-freeze would not be too unfamiliar.

Witch hunts happened way later, 17th century iirc

YouTube music is the worst.

I entered “antifa playlist” into the search bar and got multiple ai generated full on nazi songs in my recommended.

Big up Western Australia

They are like little brittle twigs. They will break into many pieces and will grow anew next season. But you can just pull them out again then. At least they won’t spread further.

With a name like ok computer, I’d say Radio head

Fun fact: American sign language differs from British sign language, as it is derived from french sign language. So a french and American signer would understand each other, while a Brit would not.

I think anyone in India and Africa speaks 4 languages easily.

1. their regional language (i.e. Masaai, Yoruba, Xhosa)
2. the over-regional language (Arabic, Swahili)
3. a coloniser language (English, French)
4. and possibly just enough of a neighbouring regional language

I think many Chinese people are also bilingual (i.e. Wu+ always mandarin). They often learn another language in school (English or something geographically closer, like Korean).

Sometimes, I think it’s funny that in Anglo countries it’s referred to as ESL, English as a second language.

For us (and I guess many others) it was always English as a foreign language. Could be first foreign language, second foreign language…

I mean yeah, you’re going 115 km/h in an ice channel.
