  Having São Tomé and Principe next to Timor -Leste is a deep pull. Hats off to original creator

  Cuit. As in cuisine.

  The crust is not just drier, it’s crunchy, it’s crackling. It’s got roasted aromas and all the flavours of the bread heightened 10 times.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just want juice, is that so much to ask?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESL homework⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESL homework⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESL homework⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 did a quick look, but tbh I would need to know more about ancient judaic wedding practices.

  Here goes: in Gospel by Luke, when Mary gets the announcement, they are betrothed (fiancée).
  In Gospel by Matthew, Joseph hears of this and wants to cancel the betrothement, but gets an explanation by an angel and “takes her in” but doesn’t sleep with her until after Jesus is born.
  In Gospel by Luke, when they arrive in Bethlehem, they’re called betrothed. So I don’t know how official and extensive the “taking in” is to be seen.

  Anyways, look what I found in the Song of Mary:

  He performs mighty deeds with his arm; he scatters those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
  He brings down rulers from their thrones but lifts up the humble.
  He fills the hungry with good things but sends the rich away empty.

  It specifies the cultural application but broadens the temporal.

  (To be more direct: not every first nation practiced that technique.)

  Having seen neither, I gotta say Neon Genesis Evangelion looks more appealing to me than Star Wars. I might even watch it someday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can get it for some environments. For example in central Asia, coming from a nomadic lifestyle and living in yurts (big tents) it’s totally understandable to keep your shoes on. Maybe the building style is a continuation of the yurt and lends to similar choices.

  I was once in Paraguay and their buildings typically don’t have a hallway, every room is accessible from the outside. Most of their life is also spent outside, like cooking and eating. It’s nice weather for most of the year, why not.

  But for European style weather and houses, I will always take my shoes off.
