  No, that was blamed on acetaminophen a.k.a. Tylenol

  The little girl is getting kicked out by her parents because she “will never be pretty”, which is all a girl is worth according to misogynist belief.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slingshot is a nice detail 😁⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, I feel like calling this “sad” doesn’t do a good enough job of refuting the underlying misogynist belief (that a woman’s worth is her looks) that the parents have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the black bellied pangolin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to be about phonetics and association:

  Phat-aginus -> “Fat vaginas” -> Super-FUPA, where FUPA apparently is the medical acronym for Fat Upper Pubic Area

  Okay, but I can’t not see this as a radish-person shocked about getting an absolute hog pointed at their face

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Naughty birds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From the Summary of the article you linked (emphasis mine):

  A photo of waxwings, which became popular in the Polish Internet space, shows dead birds that died as a result of a collision with a bus shelter in Ukraine. Their arrangement indicates that they flew in a compact formation. Therefore, it is unlikely that the collision occurred as a result of coordination disorders after ingesting alcohol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of “It’s not the speed (fart) that kills, but the impact (smäll)”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is old, but it is a bit irksome that this post is titled “Fact of the day” when it can’t even keep its facts straight about which country does what.

  Those signs aren’t from Sweden. Our traffic agency (who prints the signs) doesn’t use ‘fart’ meaning ‘speed’ - except for ‘gångfartsområde’, ‘walking speed area’, which disappointingly enough doesn’t even have the text on it - but mainly uses ‘hastighet’ meaning ‘velocity’. Other commenters in this thread have posted examples of ‘fart’ in a different meaning being used on Swedish traffic signs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Hastighet’ means velocity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safety first⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can see just a hint of it on the far right edge

  And OP didn’t post the german one what I could see. I’m disappointed, I would have liked to see a line acknowledging that this as a crosspost/translation.

  This looks genuinely great, thanks for mentioning it. Here’s their website, with free learning resources.

  Slightly off-topic, but you might find the latest video-essay from Contrapoints, Conspiracy, helpful.
