Yeah, I’m not hating on Spain, but I couldn’t resist mentioning the conquistador thing, especially since I was reading about the Aztecs yesterday.

I concluded the same.

Also the first to show the middle finger to the Americas =P

I have a very bad memory for faces. Apparently it’s not prosopagnosia, just “holy shit how can you even function in society?!” level bad memory.

Anyway, I get appoached by people on the street, sometimes chat a bit and then leave without knowing who it was. I figure it’s kinda like being a celebrity, just without the money.

Warcraft

xkcd itself is 21 years old…

English names of days are weird. You have the day of the sun and the moon, ok. Fine. Then Tuesday - Friday are norse gods (Tyr, Odin, Thor, Freya), but what’s Saturday doing there?! Saturn is a completely different pantheon!

In France they called it cliché…

And also uncomfortable how many inventions came about due to a war…

lemmy check…

There are a lot of examples of survivorship bias, yet for some reason people always use this one… 🤔
