  • Most carnivorous plants don’t actually need to eat bugs to survive

    Source pls.

    Most of those plants live in extremely nutritionally poor ground, so when you grow them at home and they have nutrition, they wouldn’t require eating I guess.

    But evolution did not make flycatcher plants just for the lulz.

    Don’t learn Finnish I guess.

    No gendered pronouns and we honestly use “it” (se) as a pronoun. No, I would never use it in English unless I meant to purposefully dehumanise someone, but in Finnish it’s just the normal colloquial version of a personal pronoun, whereas “hän” is a 3rd person pronoun that’s more formal, (but also non-gendered) . Pets usually get to be referred to as “hän” with the more formal personal pronoun, weirdly enough.






  • I knew I wasn’t going to have to link this.

    “‘Wales’…? Really, sir?”

    “Oh, yes. Don’t you think?”

    “What, the vast terra incognito with fauna and flora hitherto undreamt of by sights puts you in mind nothing so much as… Rhyl…?”

    “No, of course not. Not North Wales. That’s ridiculous, it’s nothing like North Wales.”


  • Also they named Turku just Åbo.

    Åbo.

    Swedish “å” is an entire word meaning;

    a river, a creek, a big stream
    

    “Bo”

    bo n

    **a dwelling** (of an animal), especially a bird's nest
    
        fågelbo
    
            bird’s nest
    
        att bygga bo
    
            to build a nest / to nest ("build nest" – idiomatic phrasing)
    
    (poetic, extended from sense 1) **a home**
    
    sätta bo
    
        settle down
    

    So it’s a three letter word basically saying river-dwelling

    I think rather than ask Finns what a place was named they just named them themselves. Perhaps because they were tired of the locals calling everything shit and piss. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    So you decided to stop with the “you think I’m reading all that”. So you did exactly what I knew you would, because you pretend to be smart and not ignorant and childish. And you know smart people don’t pride themselves on ignorance or acting like a child. Yet your profile seems to tell a different story, doesn’t it?

    And I still wouldn’t say you have or have not got a neurodevelopmental disease, because I know you don’t diagnose them that easily.

    One could assume you’re currently rather nervous, and especially average minds get all sorts of freaky when you shine a light on how ignorant they are.

    So you think you’re gonna wear me down by spamming a single comment? You’ve no idea.

    But the more you spam, the sillier your profile will look. And that’s exactly what I’m going for.

    Why wont you discuss the subject of the thread instead of having this tantrum?

    So you’re just spamming a single word. Nice looking profile man. Doesn’t look at all like someone having a meltdown over a simple thing such as being ignorant of very complex medical topic. It’s completely natural. You can teach yourself. You don’t have to have a tantrum.

    The point is that you’ll willfully admit you haven’t. Which will point out that you’re here just because you can’t let go, psychologically. You’re bothered by me or something I’ve said to the extent that you spam these inane oneliners I’ve seen literally a million times since the past 20 years.

    I can outline this for you. You can’t discuss the subject, so you go with attempting to mock me for actually discussing the subject. And because that’s worked for you at like 5th grade recess or something, you think it’s gonna work here as well. :DD It’s beyond hilarious and every time I see it again, it gets more predictable and funnier because of it.
