  • Orchids are tropical plants, please do not use ice cubes or even cold water. A thorough, lukewarm soak whenever the roots turn silver will do the trick. The plant should never sit in water for extended periods of time.

    You should also cut off any blackened / mushy roots as those are already rotted and the rot may spread if it's left as is.

  • Definitely went with 14 or 15 when I was breastfeeding, because the girls tended to leak. Nobody wants to sleep in sheets that smell like sour milk.

  • The Finnish word you have is also just 'shit' and in no way equivalent to 'cunt'. The word youre looking for is 'vittu', although it is usually (mis)translated as 'fuck'. The common translation is likely due to the prevalence of use of both 'fuck' and 'vittu' and their similar severity rather than meaning.

  • There are sports where women have reached or surpassed men's records, for example long-distance endurance races or some accuracy-based competitions. Anything where raw explosive strength or size isn't the main deciding factor. There are examples in history where women have been banned from participating in specific sports because they have been able to win in competition with men.

    I think, for the leagues you listed, size, strength and speed are often key, and as such most men have an advantage over most women. I don't doubt there could be exceptions to that rule.

  • Hm. I showed this to my husband, who immediately pointed out that it's an anti-tank mine and thus couldn't be foot-activated.

  • Most reindeer live North of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon in winter months. I suspect most summer days are brighter than the few hours of twilight the reideer get in December.

  • Ah. Well, perhaps I ought to amend it to an average Northern European, then. There are definitely no true scorpions in the Nordics, although we probably have some tiny pseudoscorpids around somewhere. Although I've hiked all over Southern Spain and never spotted a scorpion there either....which probably says more about my perceptiveness or lack-there-of than anything else.

  • Huh. There being scorpions everywhere except the Arctic is such a wild statement to your average European. Never have I ever seen a scorpion outside a terrarium despite having traveled and hiked extensively in various countries around the continent.

    Are they truly that common in the Americas, even in more temperate climates?

  • By definition, if Finland is included, we're talking about Fennoscandia and, if you add in Iceland, it's the Nordic countries.

    Denmark is usually included in Scandinavia, but technically it isn't part of the Scandinavian peninsula.

    However, I know that outside Europe the distinctions aren't all that important.

  • I would probably pick Denmark as a favourite based solely on their legal right to hit ice-crossing Swedes with sticks. And Swedes suck balls (source: am Finnish).

    However, to be somewhat pedantic, Scandinavia either refers to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, or just Norway and Sweden (the actual Scandinavian peninsula). Finland, Iceland, and the Baltic countries are not part of Scandinavia.

  • No one.

    Our one-year-old pup was genuinely upset about having to sleep in the same room as us on a weekend trip to the countryside.

    At home he sleeps in the study and kicks up a fuss if anyone disturbs him by existing in 'his' room after 10 pm.

  • aww @lemmy.world

    My puppy might be part bat.
