16:21.03 | OluapPlayer | Only took a week |
16:21.14 | Xho | better than never blokhed |
16:25.12 | Xho | So: 1) Xi'Arazulha arrives and starts ripping up a planet 2) Taldar arrives and fights Xi'Arazulha, Xi'Arazulha wins 3) Anti!Taldar thinks its a good idea to assimilate the Taldar's essences, Xi'Arazulha has none of it |
16:25.55 | Xho | Cue a fight that makes Zargoth go wtf |

16:27.58 | OluapPlayer | All we're asking is a section where they show up and kill people |
16:30.12 | OluapPlayer | They start killing UNO to attract the Taldar, people fight back because they don't want to die, they summon the Taldar at the end and the Xi'Arazulha are defeated |

18:53.10 | Wormy_ | With humans it might be a stereotype. But I've certainly observed that in dogs, the smaller it is, the more willful, snappy and dominant it becomes. |
18:54.12 | Monet | Wormy_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex you mean this? |

18:56.08 | Technobliterator | alright |
18:56.13 | Technobliterator | we start the war proper after that? |
18:56.15 | Wormy_ | Funny because I don't think Napoleon was even short |
18:56.28 | Hachiman | He wasn't |
18:56.54 | Hachiman | He was of average size for French men at the time |
18:57.10 | Hachiman | Or rather, that is what the French encourage us to believe hur |
18:57.25 | Monet | He was 5ft 2 in French measurements, which were smaller than English feet-inches measurements |
18:57.27 | Wormy_ | But were French shorter on average than British? |
18:57.48 | Monet | The current understanding now is Napoleon was actually a rather big man. |
18:57.51 | OluapPlayer | He was portrayed as short by his enemies to make fun of him |
18:57.55 | OluapPlayer | He wasn't actually short |
18:58.13 | Imperios | Monet: https://www.hakes.com/Image/HighRes/99895/1/image.jpg |

18:58.41 | Imperios | 1,69 |
18:59.19 | Monet | or was he? |
19:00.52 | Monet | I mostly remember when visiting the HMS Victory in Portsmouth, they had his uniform on display. |

19:04.38 | Imperios | Not sure if I should even remove the potatoes on bottom |
19:04.38 | OluapPlayer | Wikiped says nightshades belong to the same family as potatoes |
19:05.28 | OluapPlayer | "Solanum is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants, which include two food crops of high economic importance, the potato and the tomato. It also contains the nightshades and horse nettles, as well as numerous plants cultivated for their ornamental flowers and fruit." |
19:06.26 | OluapPlayer | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_seaforthianum didn't know about this one |
19:06.43 | Wormy_ | Yep, also related to potatoes, chilies and peppers. It's why potato fruits are horribly posonous and green potato is best left on its own |

19:07.09 | OluapPlayer | thanks brazil |
19:07.36 | Wormy_ | An awesome amount of modern foods come from Brazil |
19:07.47 | Wormy_ | Thanks indeed |
19:07.54 | OluapPlayer | I think Brazil is like the biggest exporter of coffee |
19:07.58 | OluapPlayer | Or one of the biggest |
19:09.16 | Monet | A lot of new-world spices came from South America including ginger, vanilla, pepper, cumin and cinnamon. |
19:09.42 | Wormy_ | I think chocolate came from South and/or Central America |
19:10.03 | Monet | It did |
19:10.17 | OluapPlayer | Yeah, cacao trees are native of those regions |
19:10.19 | Monet | The Aztecs used the stuff as currency. |
19:10.27 | Wormy_ | Hm, so did certain beans and quinoa |
19:10.28 | OluapPlayer | Literally chocolate coins |
19:10.46 | Hachiman | choc for the choc gods |
19:10.59 | DrodoEmpire | Ehh, wasn't *quite* a currency |
19:11.06 | Wormy_ | Blood for the gods so they give the elites choc |
19:11.07 | OluapPlayer | chocolate coins tho |
19:11.32 | DrodoEmpire | It was a similar idea, but not really a currency in the same way as Eurasian coinage |
19:11.58 | Hachiman | Aztecs too savage and retarded for money |
19:12.00 | Hachiman | What losers |
19:12.00 | Wormy_ | Tobacco coms from South America too |

19:12.29 | OluapPlayer | We also had brazilwood which was used to create a valuable red dye |
19:12.44 | OluapPlayer | But in the current day it's endangered because people deforested it that much |

19:14.32 | OluapPlayer | Because it was that valuable |
19:15.01 | Monet | Some names of New World places can be funny |
19:15.02 | Wormy_ | I just remembered: psilosibin and ayahuasca also |
19:15.29 | OluapPlayer | Ayahuasca sounds like someone failing to type chihuahua |

19:15.37 | Xho | dat be a drug tho |
19:16.01 | Tybusen | Hello |
19:16.15 | OluapPlayer | i'm not too smart about Brazil's natural fauna and flora. Was back in school but not anymore |
19:16.21 | OluapPlayer | I know we got toucans and jaguars at least |
19:16.23 | Tybusen | Monet: Orange County, CA is named that because it was orange-growing country |
19:16.40 | Monet | Tybusen: I know which is what I find interesting |
19:17.18 | Monet | It's almost like a bureaucratic designation. |
19:17.18 | OluapPlayer | Back when I was a kid I had this large toy toucan who would repeat sentences twice |
19:17.28 | OluapPlayer | My mom got mad at it because it wouldn't shut up so she threw it into the street |
19:17.46 | Monet | So a Brazillian Furby? |
19:17.50 | Tybusen | I see it more as a natural evolution from people probably colloquially referring to it as "that place with the oranges" |
19:18.03 | OluapPlayer | I've never seen a Furby outside of the internet |
19:18.11 | OluapPlayer | The toucan was probably larger |
19:18.25 | Monet | At least it was probably more adorable, right? |
19:18.34 | OluapPlayer | Definitely |
19:18.50 | OluapPlayer | It was quite nice-looking. Not cuddly though, since it was a shell with electronics inside |
19:19.40 | OluapPlayer | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Keel-Billed_Toucan.jpg it looks like one of these |
19:20.07 | Monet | "it wouldn't shut up so she threw it into the street" sounds appropriate for a Furby |
19:20.31 | OluapPlayer | I got it back though. Only threw it away when it broke beyond repair |
19:20.36 | OluapPlayer | That toucan lasted several years |
19:21.14 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: As in, your country is named after a tree |
19:21.14 | Monet | https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ef/72/1a/ef721a9d5fd230623b44925c576f31de.jpg I got curious |
19:21.18 | Monet | Is this it? |
19:21.28 | Imperios | Does Brazil refer to the trees or their wood? |
19:21.55 | OluapPlayer | Monet: Nah, too fluffy |
19:22.17 | Monet | https://www.amazon.com/fun-Swearing-Parrot-Keyring/dp/B000S8JKNM/ref=pd_sim_21_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=85PRAN55DPBZ3D118388 I almost want one |
19:22.37 | OluapPlayer | Imperios: The wood is named Brazil. The country's full name back in the 1500s was "Land of Brazilwood", shortened to Brazil |
19:22.46 | Imperios | right |
19:22.59 | Imperios | So basically "Wood" |
19:23.22 | Imperios | TBH we aren't that much better |
19:23.44 | Imperios | Russia originally meant "land of redheads" |
19:23.51 | Tybusen | Imperios: Doesn't "Novgorod" just mean "new city" |
19:23.56 | OluapPlayer | Wood of Brazil is the plant's literal translated name |
19:23.58 | Imperios | THat too |
19:24.02 | Imperios | Ah |
19:24.12 | Imperios | And Brazil means... "red", right? |
19:24.18 | Imperios | IF i am not mistaken, it means something like that |
19:24.35 | OluapPlayer | That I don't know. Brazilwood is red and was harvested for its red dye, so t might be |
19:24.55 | OluapPlayer | Back to toucans, they're not an animal you see often in media now that I think about it |
19:25.25 | Monet | That's a little surprising |
19:25.34 | Monet | I'm guessing MCaws are much more common |
19:25.37 | DrodoEmpire | Most names, especially place names, tend to be surprisingly literal >.< |
19:25.50 | DrodoEmpire | Once you know the hidden language behind them |
19:26.03 | Monet | DrodoEmpire: I grew up 10 minutes from Oxford. |
19:26.07 | OluapPlayer | Yeah parrots and macaws are seen often, but toucans are rarely mentioned |
19:26.18 | Monet | They have a bull statue outside the train station |
19:26.23 | OluapPlayer | You'd think the big curved beak would interest people |
19:26.35 | OluapPlayer | But then again they're competing against an actual talking animal so |
19:26.45 | Wormy_ | I hear that toucan meat is blue when cooked. |
19:27.05 | OluapPlayer | I wouldn't know that. Hunting toucans is probably illegal |
19:27.25 | Monet | Depends if they're endangered or a national animal |
19:27.46 | DrodoEmpire | Tatamagouche, which is a village a short drive away from me, means, roughly, "between the rivers" or "extending across" in Mi'kmaq |
19:27.50 | DrodoEmpire | Quite literal >.< |
19:28.03 | OluapPlayer | " structural complex probably unique to toucans involves the modification of several tail vertebrae. The rear three vertebrae are fused and attached to the spine by a ball and socket joint. Because of this, toucans may snap their tail forward until it touches the head. " |
19:28.06 | OluapPlayer | A* |
19:28.23 | Monet | The only non-endangered bird you can't kill in England is the Mute Swan - it's considered treason as the Queen technically owns them all. |
19:28.40 | OluapPlayer | That sounds super uncomfortable |
19:28.47 | OluapPlayer | And apparently toucans sleep like that |
19:28.48 | Imperios | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27_(name)#Etymology Wait, my bad, "Rus" actually meant "rower" |
19:28.58 | Imperios | "Row dat boat" |
19:29.06 | OluapPlayer | "This is the posture in which they sleep, often appearing simply as a ball of feathers, with the tip of the tail sticking out over the head." |
19:29.09 | OluapPlayer | Sounds cute now |
19:29.27 | Imperios | Tybusen: Come to think about it, "Carthage" also meant "new city" |
19:29.27 | Monet | Well it might not be painful if they've evolved it. |
19:29.29 | Imperios | Cart-hadast |
19:29.48 | OluapPlayer | Sure not painful to a toucan but that's contortionist-tier for a person |
19:30.31 | Monet | Actually when I visited Buckingham Palace I vaguely recall seeing pigeons and Canadian geese - no swans. |
19:30.32 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire: Doesn't Canada mean "village" or something |
19:30.52 | Tybusen | Imperios: Not to mention "Carthago Nova" |
19:31.02 | Imperios | Tybusen: Suddenly "New New York" is real |
19:31.08 | OluapPlayer | Also what do you mean "the Queen technically owns them all"? |
19:31.47 | Xho | It's law |
19:32.07 | Monet | OluapPlayer: By British law, all the Mute Swans on the River Thames are property of herm majesty. |
19:32.20 | OluapPlayer | That's fucking absurd |
19:32.25 | OluapPlayer | Why even hur |
19:32.26 | Xho | Yup |
19:32.30 | Xho | Welcome to the UK |
19:32.52 | Imperios | British laws are weird |
19:33.14 | Imperios | Some of them date back for centuries, and that's just their constitutions |
19:33.25 | OluapPlayer | Now I'm curious. Does your money have images of animals in it? |
19:33.28 | Imperios | *are centuries old |
19:33.38 | Monet | It might have been an artefact of when back under William of Normandy, all the forests were the King's land. |
19:33.44 | Xho | Just the Queen's head |
19:33.49 | DrodoEmpire | Imperios: Yes, Canada as a word originates from a miscommunication between an explorer and a native american |
19:33.59 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: You have toucans on coins? |
19:34.15 | OluapPlayer | No but we have other animals |
19:34.23 | Monet | Xho: The £10 note has a hummingbird on it. |
19:34.25 | OluapPlayer | I was wondering if you had that too. Animals on your money |
19:34.27 | DrodoEmpire | The natives offered to bring the explorer back to "Kanata" I believe, which was the name of their village- the explorer thought the native meant that "kanata" was the name of his country |
19:34.38 | Xho | Well I wouldn't know that considering all I have are 20s |
19:34.39 | Xho | mwaha |
19:34.52 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: We have two-headed eages on roubles in case you're wondering |
19:35.01 | Imperios | eagles |
19:35.03 | DrodoEmpire | Canada has animals on almost all of its coins |
19:35.18 | Monet | I have one 10 and that new fiver. |
19:35.26 | Imperios | And kopecks have dragons... sort of |
19:35.33 | OluapPlayer | 2 reais has a picture of a sea turtle. 5 reais has a great egret. 10 has a macaw, 20 has a golden lion tamarin, 50 has a jaguar and 100 has a grouper |
19:35.34 | DrodoEmpire | With the exception of the dime, which has the Bluenose |
19:35.41 | OluapPlayer | Our biggest money note has a stupid fish |
19:36.05 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/1_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%BA%D0%B0_1997.jpg/384px-1_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%BA%D0%B0_1997.jpg We have that |
19:36.14 | Imperios | A knight fells a dragon with his spear |
19:36.16 | OluapPlayer | I was talking about paper money |
19:36.19 | Imperios | Ah |
19:36.40 | OluapPlayer | Also that imagery is of a saint isn't it |
19:36.44 | OluapPlayer | Can't recall his name |
19:36.54 | Imperios | Well, not a saint, an archangel |
19:36.57 | Xho | Michael |
19:36.58 | Imperios | Archangel Michael I believe |
19:36.59 | Xho | mwhaha |
19:37.03 | Imperios | Saint Xho |
19:37.05 | OluapPlayer | That was it |
19:37.06 | OluapPlayer | Saint George |
19:37.12 | Xho | aw |
19:37.20 | Imperios | Oh wait yes, George |
19:37.25 | Imperios | George the Victorious |
19:37.26 | Xho | >Patron Saint of England as well |
19:37.30 | Xho | Man we're bad at this |
19:37.34 | OluapPlayer | top git |
19:37.41 | Imperios | Oh wait that is a saint |
19:37.50 | Monet | Dum-dum |
19:37.50 | Imperios | Fuck my bad |
19:37.52 | Xho | Michael's usually standing over the devil so |
19:38.17 | OluapPlayer | Saint George who stabbed a dragon with a spear and fought it in the moon or some drug-filled stuff along those lones |
19:38.22 | OluapPlayer | lines* |
19:38.36 | Monet | I don't recall the Moon stuff but yeah |
19:38.54 | OluapPlayer | Might be a brazilian thing but I recall people saying Saint George killed the dragon on the moon |
19:39.03 | Imperios | We don't mention the moon |
19:39.26 | OluapPlayer | "our saint george is cooler, he killed the dragon ON THE MOON" |
19:39.31 | Imperios | Also we officially call him a "horseman" but that is to show respect to the non-Christian peoples of Russia |
19:39.37 | Monet | My recollection was George fought the dragon either in Anatolia, Eastern Europe or the Holy Land. |
19:39.44 | Imperios | Now that actually reminds me of one incident in the Russian Empire |
19:40.14 | Imperios | So basically Russia had medals with Saint George that were given to all soldiers who proved themselves, regardless of their religion |
19:40.17 | OluapPlayer | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Merou.jpg 100 brazilian moneys |
19:40.48 | Imperios | Then at some point the government decided to be PC and replaced the saint with an eagle for non-Christians |
19:40.56 | Monet | From what I remember of the Icelandic Krona, it had fish on it. |
19:40.57 | Imperios | But then Muslims protested |
19:41.13 | Imperios | "Fuck that bird, we want our badass guy on a horse back" |
19:41.46 | Imperios | Actually, the 100 roubles banknote has one... peculiarity |
19:41.47 | Imperios | http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6106/60625905.118/0_77416_65ee24a2_L.jpg |

19:43.02 | Imperios | Actually now that I think about it |
19:43.17 | Imperios | We DO have animals on money, but they're tiny |
19:43.28 | Monet | I once saw a bronze statue of Constantine spotting the meteor that made him convert. The artist was articulate enough to include the horse's butthole. |
19:43.43 | Imperios | Our banknotes represent cities, so there are city arms on them |

19:48.48 | OluapPlayer | Old money? I've seen it years ago in an aunt's house |
19:48.56 | Imperios | I think my mom or some of her relatives keep a few old Soviet coins |
19:49.05 | OluapPlayer | Brazil changed its coin many times over a small period of time, so coming across old money isn't that rare |
19:49.13 | Imperios | They're kind of pretty actually |
19:49.15 | Imperios | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/1_ruble_1988.jpg |
19:49.18 | OluapPlayer | Granted the old coin is worthless in the current day |
19:49.46 | Imperios | I love how the globe was often used as a symbol in the USSR |
19:49.57 | Imperios | Kind of showed their ambitions |
19:50.16 | Imperios | "Hey, Brezhnev, what are you going to do tonight?" |
19:51.02 | OluapPlayer | "It is calculated that Brazil has more insects than any country in the world. It is estimated as having over 70,000 species of insects, with some estimates ranging up to 15 million, with more being discovered almost daily." |
19:51.20 | OluapPlayer | Mosquitos are especially prevalent during the summer |

20:04.30 | Monet | Grass snakes eat nothing but frogs and tadpoles while adders are generally non-aggressive. |
20:04.43 | Imperios | Speaking of national animals |
20:04.52 | Tybusen | but does the snake smoke? |
20:05.25 | Imperios | Why exactly does the British national animal not actually live in the UK |
20:05.30 | OluapPlayer | The green anaconda in specific is the one people know about because it's fucking huge and heavy |
20:06.23 | Monet | "Not being venomous, the snake's only defense is to produce a garlic-smelling fluid from the anal glands, or to feign death (thanatosis) by becoming completely limp" so basically when threatened grass snakes either produce smelly farts or play dead. |

20:15.18 | OluapPlayer | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_birds |
20:15.32 | Monet | Actually no |
20:15.38 | Monet | Should be "can one eat one?" |
20:15.57 | Imperios | The bear is sort of like the Korean totemic animal, it has mythological significance |
20:16.00 | Monet | Or is it "can we eat one?" I think it's 'we' |
20:16.10 | Monet | ELizabeth II is a hive mind. |
20:16.20 | OluapPlayer | Egypt and Scotland both have the golden eagle as its national bird |
20:16.43 | Monet | Oh yeah the Scots take the golden eagle's welfare -very -seriously. |
20:16.54 | Imperios | "The most well-known version of the founding legend that relates the origins of the Korean ethnicity explains that a mythical "first emperor", Dangun, was born from the child of the creator deity's son and his union with a female bear in human form." |
20:16.55 | OluapPlayer | And Germany |

20:21.16 | Monet | I hate those long-necked bustards. |

20:35.17 | Monet | It's sad because it's almost extinct. |
20:35.30 | OluapPlayer | ouch |
20:36.02 | Monet | Sad but true. |
20:36.13 | Monet | Such beautiful leopards are prized for their pelts. |
20:36.19 | OluapPlayer | Mauritius and Moldova both have extinct animals |
20:36.23 | OluapPlayer | Aurochs and dodos |
20:36.41 | OluapPlayer | Aren't aurochs the ancestors of the modern cow? |
20:36.45 | Monet | They are |
20:36.53 | Monet | They also stood two metres to the shoulder. |
20:36.59 | OluapPlayer | fok |
20:37.25 | OluapPlayer | Makes you realize someone saw them with all that size and thought "i'm gonna domesticate that" |
20:38.19 | Monet | The Minoans made a competitive sport out of performance leaps over them. |
20:38.25 | OluapPlayer | I've always been interesting in knowing the origins of the modern domestic animals |
20:38.59 | OluapPlayer | Cats are boring in that department since wild cats look more or less like domestic cats |
20:39.30 | OluapPlayer | THE DOG CAME FROM THE WOLF the cat came from the other cat |
20:40.08 | Monet | Cats didn't need much domestication |
20:40.31 | Monet | They're infamously stubborn because their only purpose was to eat vermin. |
20:40.53 | OluapPlayer | Cats are so stubborn they've refused to evolve |
20:41.12 | Monet | We didn't need them to be much different than they were in the wild |
20:41.32 | Monet | Meanwhile dogs were bred to basically have happiness in slavery. |
20:42.27 | Imperios | Cats all deserve to die |
20:42.29 | Imperios | Except for tigers |
20:42.34 | Imperios | Tigers are awesome |
20:42.34 | OluapPlayer | non |
20:42.38 | OluapPlayer | my cat is my treasure |
20:42.41 | Imperios | Dog master race plz |
20:43.13 | Hachiman | borkf |
20:43.20 | Monet | But how can they be a master race if we bred them to see us as their masters? |
20:44.01 | Monet | Granted a lot of people in cities forget the master-servant dynamic was deeply embedded and treat them like children. |
20:44.13 | Imperios | Better than a race that is bred to do nothing |
20:44.33 | Monet | Cats were bred ot do something |
20:44.35 | OluapPlayer | Cats and dogs are both bred for our entertainment |
20:44.43 | Monet | Kill rats and eat bugs. That's a cat's job. |
20:44.43 | OluapPlayer | Few people still use dogs for labour |

20:49.33 | Imperios | Tybusen: So am I to understand that YouTube Heroes is basically Stalinist? |
20:52.46 | Hachiman | I remember that there was one cat who essentially drove an entire bird population on some island to extinction |
20:53.12 | OluapPlayer | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephens_Island_wren yep |
20:53.23 | Hachiman | The cat belonged to a biological researcher who was studying a bird species native to this specific island and all the time he was there, his cat was going out and hunting the birds he was looking at |
20:53.36 | Imperios | Like literally I can only think of Stalin |
20:53.41 | Hachiman | Lighthouse keeper, |

20:54.04 | Imperios | "Report all of your neighbours FOR THE STATE" |
20:54.06 | OluapPlayer | Chances are multiple cats did it |
20:54.10 | Monet | Imperios: It is incredibly vunerable to abuse and only serves to satisfy the needy irrational commentors. |
20:54.14 | OluapPlayer | The keeper's cat was one of them |
20:54.43 | Imperios | Monet: Remember in 1984 how children were encouraged to spy on their children? |

21:52.36 | Tek0516 | FFS. Apparently the "lifetime warrantity" for my screen protector had a little asterik we were never aware of. >.< |
21:53.01 | Monet | What's the asterisk condition |
21:56.58 | Tek0516 | Monet: you had to register it on their website after purchase apparently |
21:58.12 | Tek0516 | I didn't even buy it directly, the purchase and everything was done through a promotion from the phone company. |
21:59.34 | Tek0516 | Probably in fine print somewhere on the back of the package. |
