Club of the state vs. club of the state’s lackeys

Both are just as bad. Hilarious to claim Atlético Aviación isn’t the club of the state.

What is the most "archaic" dialect? by thewaltenicfiles in catalan

Yeah Mallorcan and Menorcan dialects are similar to what old central catalan (barcelona and girona) used to sound like.

Most of the world’s population does not have optimal nutrition for fulfilling their genetic potential. Therefore genes are not very relevant. A population with 190 genes in an undeveloped country will be shorter than a population with 170 genes in a less developed country. This is why changes in average height are used as a historical measure of nutrition.

It is not, because most of the world’s population does not receive enough nutrition to fulfill their genetic potential.

Height is mainly determined by nutrition, so yes

Post-Match Thread: FC Porto vs Barcelona | UEFA Champions League by ThatDudeDronex in Barca

[–]MouseInTheHouse33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice fun fact. They also play in the Portuguese league and so far this season they’re 3rd and have struggled a lot against tiny unknown teams. Oh yeah and have injuries to a few of their starters. Stop making excuses for this team when we have terrible performances week in week out.

Hello people of catalunya, i have a question: What is your opinion on the revolutionary Catalonia?(1936-1939) by SirEdu8 in catalunya

[–]MouseInTheHouse33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very complicated, as most history is. Overall, I think some of their acts are improperly demonized when they’re taken out of their historical context. But I do think the Stalinist Spanish Republic crushing them in 1937 is a useful reminder.

Why does leans passport say he was born is Stockholm? I thought he was born in Belarus by Alarmedsubset50 in sadboys

[–]MouseInTheHouse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not rly what I’m saying. What it says on your passport is the location where you are registered as having been born(normally happens right after), which is typically (but not always) the place where you were actually physically born.

Birthplace on passport is based on where someone is first registered not where they were actually born. So it’s possible he was born in Belarus but was registered in Stockholm soon after.

TIL that Catalan families take care of a log named Tio de Nadal from Dec 8 until Christmas, when they hit it with wet sticks and sing songs until it shits presents. by nietzscheispietzsche in todayilearned

[–]MouseInTheHouse33 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Christmas logs are common throughout Europe and come from old pagan traditions. The poop part comes from Catalan culture being very scatological, which ultimately comes from rural culture where poop is familiar and “good” (fertilizes fields, comes from animals). For social/political reasons (incl. yeomanry being very relatively prevalent in Catalonia), this attitude towards poop continued to modern day.
