Maria Sirona Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The Närpes municipality in western Finland has more vietnamese speakers than finnish speakers (no, but really) Spoiler That's because 80% of the people in Närpes actually speak swedish.

kerbiloid Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The Balkanian languages have a lot of words with many consonants in row, and even don't try to stick a wovel inside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krk_(town) Imagine, the Netherlandish Lekkerkerk was Balkanian Lekkrkrk.

Maria Sirona Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 You mean Balkan? Balkanian is not not a word. Speaking of the Balkan, it is quite peculiar most balkan countries' name ends with -ia! Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve9728 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Somehow I think it's really cool if someone can let the whales do what they orders to do. I mean something like the fin whales not the orca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) well i live in a petersburg and i can confirm that our sea lions are bigger than yours. once saw a big one sunning himself on the floatplane dock (i was in a boat getting fuel on my way to my sister's house). i didn't have my camera with me unfortunately. he was just lounging about and didn't give a crap about all the activity in the marina. probibly got his fill of herring too. you are more likely to see one than not.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Human faces are getting smaller. In fact present day human faces are on average smaller than the faces of people living just 200 years ago (We just keep getting cuter!)

Maria Sirona Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 There's two places called Savo in the world. One Savo is a big-ish region in Finland, (big enough to be divided into two different counties, but so is what is left of Karelia) and the other Savo is an island in the Solomon Islands.

As they are warm blooded they care about water temperature but most dolphins has no problems with arctic temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who started this thing and why does everyone constantly say puns are bad? It has to be some kind of inside joke among people who socialize for enjoyment, right? That little comic made me chuckle, it's funny! It's very annoying that everyone keeps mocking puns like that. Also, over here we have zero lakes, we do have a bunch of rivers and dams though.

Nuke Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) the reason puns are bad is that they usually take no effort to create, and therefor are the lowest form of comedy. you could instead use the more disgusting, yet significantly more classy, toilet humor instead. that's always worth a few laughs.
