  What exactly is a jib? And why was it cut?

    A jib is a type of sail. And I think the cut is talking about the shape. Beyond that I can’t explain.

      IIRC, the shape of the jib sail indicated the origin of a sailing vessel, so it could show a friendly ship from a distance.

      I thought the cut means the angle at which it’s hung. Source: This landlubber

    Why is your tuna canned, instead of swimming in the sea?

    • cannedtuna@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Because it makes for great sandwiches
