Thanks! “The Slaying of the Spaniards” sounds like something out of Borat, but it shows how we take things like international rescue operations for granted these days
Boise, Idaho hosts a sizable Basque population and features a couple of nice restaurants that feature their cuisine. Basque who emigrated to Idaho have traditionally been sheep-herders and some still work in herding professions.
The Basque region straddles the border between Spain and France along the Bay of Biscay. On the Spanish side it consists of the provinces of Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, Álava and parts of Navarre.
The Basque language, Euskara, is a language isolate - it is not related to any other known language. It is considered one of Europe’s oldest languages.
Basque sports are a huge part of the culture, especially the traditional sport of pelota. There are many variations of this court-based ball game that has been played for centuries.
The Basque language, also known as Euskara, is a language isolate and the last remaining language descended from pre-Indo-European roots after all the others were displaced during the Bronze Age. Though it borrows a lot of vocabulary from other languages now, its roots predate both Romance and Celtic languages.
Is it known that it predates Celtic? I thought people didn’t know much about the history of the language since nothing was written, just roughly where and when because of archaeology.
Basques are indigenous to, and primarily inhabit, an area traditionally known as the Basque Country (Basque: Euskal Herria)—a region that is located around the western end of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and straddles parts of north-central Spain and south-western France.
This is exactly why people shouldn’t get exotic pets. They’re cute when they’re little then when they grow owners just don’t know how to take care of them.
Mr Popper and Cobblepot have glamorized owning animals they have no right to and this kind of immitated abuse is inevitable.
I think you’re right, but wouldn’t it be funny if it were an overfed penguin improperly cared for and adopted in the first place because of Danny DeVitos’ famous bird wrangler in Batman whichever
Dude so many of you are just fucking incapable of seeing it as a joke, it’s supposed to make you chuckle, not go “well actshually”. This isn’t a legitimate argument, this isn’t something scientific article, just fucking chuckle or don’t, ffs
Then…what would be the point of the comment section? People know it’s a mediocre joke, so there’s really not much else to discuss. Without the discussion, why even visit Lemmy at all? I dont get why you would be sour about people drawing inferences and discussing them. You saw the joke and apparently you don’t think there’s anything else to discuss. Okay. So why are you even here?
