    TIL that Icelandic people are never allowed to leave.

    • FooBarrington@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      No no, they are. But they’re not allowed to ever come back.

        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 😁

    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.

        Blue jays are fancier.

        Magpies absolutely beat mockingbirds, though. Dull brown mimics versus two-tone corvids.

      hummingbirds can be found in south america too, not just north.

      I saw one just outside work last summer. Which is weird because they are not endemic to my region.

    • ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ 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.

    Do zoos not exist there?

    • 9point6@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      It’s cruel to keep trains in the zoo, they need a lot of space to roam

      • brognak@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Ironically every zoo I have been too does actually have a train 😅

        You can go to a museum and see a taxidermied train there

      Their zoo is actually really funny, it has like a donkey and a cow in it.

      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.

      Nonono you have to gather them, then you can begin the ritual.

    They don’t have trains in Iceland?

    source
    • empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ 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.

        The only real use case would be for Keflavik to Reykjavik. But even that is handled just fine by a fleet of coaches.

    • DeepFriedDresden@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ 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.
