Why do Americans call this the Big Dipper? What even is a dipper?
nelly_man@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
A dipper is like a large ladle and is used more for transferring a large amount of liquid rather than serving. Oftentimes, the end will be more squared off with a flat bottom.
To me, these two constellations look very much like dippers and it’s difficult to see them as bears.

I’m from the UK, we call it The Plough.

In the Netherlands we call this “the big bear”, which is an even more bullshit name, if you ask me.

But at least “big bear” is consistent. That’s literally what Ursa Major means, and that the name it had basically for 2000 years now.
The reason it doesn’t remotely look like a bear is because this is just the ass and tail. The whole thing looks like this: …wikimedia.org/…/1280px-Ursa_Major_IAU.svg.png

It looks more like a ladle (“dipper”) than a bear (“Ursa major”) to me. Always made more sense to me.
It’s a stretch to say a pair of quadrilaterals with sticks look like a bear family, imho.

Tbh, it makes me sad that the Swastika is viewed as a racist symbol. It has existed for ages before the advent (and collapse?) of Nazis. The Nazis have misappropriated it in the eyes of the western world. There are still numerous cultures all over the world who view the swastika as a symbol of good health.

I predict the swastika will be redeemed before the toothbrush mustache.

The earliest known swastikas are from 10,000 BCE
