Then steal it all and row it back to your homeland

They said Iceland, not Britain

I learned that hummingbirds are native to North America and they don’t have them in Europe. That made me sad for all of them over there.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Birds in the rest of the world actually bother to learn the lyrics.
smashboy@kbin.social 11 months ago
Best we can do is hummingbird moths.
TheBat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Europe doesn’t have Sunbirds either.
wieson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Quickly, I must think of a bird endemic to Europe to not feel left out
There you go: blue tit
InfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
You can see those anywhere you have a woman and a tourniquet.
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Magpies absolutely beat mockingbirds, though. Dull brown mimics versus two-tone corvids.
tubaruco@lemm.ee 11 months ago
hummingbirds can be found in south america too, not just north.

Come to Florida and I will show you beautiful things!
Meanwhile, you live in the land of the most beautiful homo sapiens on Earth. So you got that going for you.
prole@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
(Pssst… don’t go to Florida. It’s almost certainly a trap)
MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Confirmed. OP is a gator in a trench coat

Iguanas! Which are invasive. Anoles! Which are invasive. Cuban tree frogs! Which are invasive.
All the fuckin’ rodents are good, though.

I feel sorry for anyone who never gets to see a praying mantis in person. Coolest critter on the planet
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Justas@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I saw one just outside work last summer. Which is weird because they are not endemic to my region.
ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I released a few thousand a couple years in a row (got ooth, hatched them, there are just a lot of eggs in each) and would occasionally see the adult females around my property for a few years after (I’m not sure why the population never took hold, it should have and didn’t).
They are totally chill and will walk onto your hand pretty readily. They are also thrilled to be fed small insects from tweezers, and really like moth larva.
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Yeah but Puffins

And travelling won’t help, anon is blind.
Plopp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Judging from the photo they glued their eyes shut.
Cringe2793@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Do zoos not exist there?
9point6@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s cruel to keep trains in the zoo, they need a lot of space to roam
brognak@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Ironically every zoo I have been too does actually have a train 😅
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
You can go to a museum and see a taxidermied train there
Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Their zoo is actually really funny, it has like a donkey and a cow in it.
theodewere@kbin.social 11 months ago
comes with living on a place that is still being birthed out of the planet's interior

Ah, the gentle train, truly one of earth’s most fascinating creatures
ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Don’t be fooled by those hippy dippy nature shows. A feral train will kill you and everyone you love the moment your back is turned.

RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have see all if these except a praying mantis. What happens then? Enlightenment?
Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Nonono you have to gather them, then you can begin the ritual.
RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh OK. Where can I find a praying mantis?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 months ago
They don’t have trains in Iceland?
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Low population with little heavy industrial activity, coupled with very unforgiving terrain (steep volcanic grades) and even more unforgiving weather (severe frost heaves/thermal fluctuation, huge snow load).
there’s just no economic reason to build difficult railways when your entire country is like 300mi across and never moves enough stuff in bulk to need it. including people.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
The only real use case would be for Keflavik to Reykjavik. But even that is handled just fine by a fleet of coaches.
_lilith@lemmy.world 11 months ago
they got the little ponies and the northern lights tho that’s pretty cool
Illuminostro@lemmy.world 11 months ago
[deleted]myster0n@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Well, once at most. Which is negligible.
pugsnroses77@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
no train ?
DeepFriedDresden@kbin.social 11 months ago
Not enough people outside the capital to make it worth it. They have had rail systems built but were later decommissioned. One was built for the building if a harbor but after construction it didn't get much use.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Got a lot of nice waterfalls though.

Blue board

Where is this?
Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What blue board has meme flags?

Damn. I’m gonna go pet my turtle for iceanon

At least they have Costco.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
TIL that Icelandic people are never allowed to leave.
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No no, they are. But they’re not allowed to ever come back.
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 11 months ago
TIL Icelanders are horses.
oce@jlai.lu 11 months ago
It’s because if they go slightly South, they melt.
dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s it your going to Iceland
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’d love to! It seems a gorgeous country with lots of great people! I’ll just steer clear of a couple of the national “delicacies” on my way to the penis museum 😁
CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Not everyone can afford to leave their country
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I know. I was making a joke.
