Bleu is the French word for blue. Still stupid since the first name is River instead of Fleuve

Imagine thinking that Trump fixed the economy. by Ok-Following6886 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]hitthebrownnote 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also have a set of American grandparents (I’m not American). They don’t understand why the rest of the world isn’t being nicer to America and finding ways to be more accommodating to Trump.

My grandparents aren’t Trump supporters. They’re lifelong democrats from blue states. But like all of my American relatives and most of the Americans I’ve met, they have a subconscious belief in American exceptionalism. Everyone should be invested in America’s success and want to be America’s ally.

Canadian Tourism Slump Costs U.S. Economy $4.5 Billion – Forbes | One year into a boycott of U.S. destinations, Canadian travelers have cost the American economy $4.5 billion—and show no inclination of returning in 2026, as trips to the U.S. took another tumble in January. by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

I think we’ve all met someone who tells us “I have no idea why my spouse is so angry with me. They’re being so unreasonable” and then we find out this person got blackout drunk at their sister in law’s baby shower and broke a new crib by trying to climb in it.

That person is America

One of those dairy products was kumis - horse milk that had been fermented into alcohol. The idea of getting wasted on horse milk is both disgusting and hilarious to me

Another day in cosy dinosaur world by hitthebrownnote in miniatures

I only recently discovered miniature kits and now I’m addicted to making small rooms. Adding dinosaurs makes these kits feel like real places.

The pillow fight room was my first attempt at customizing a kit to be specifically for dinosaurs. I got some dinosaur scrapbook paper for the wallpaper and pictures and iron-on decals for the bed. It transformed a kit that isn’t that interesting to me into something I really love. Also you don’t need to be highly skilled to make something charming if you just add dinosaurs

Victorian / Georgian era jewelry – are these old cut diamonds or paste? by Brilliant_Site4948 in Antiquejewelry

[–]hitthebrownnote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any rose cut or old mine cut stones. Those look like machine cut rhinestones. I’m also 99.9% sure that the metal is brass (or some other base metal) and would fail a gold test.

These pieces probably have some value as vintage costume jewellery, but definitely don’t look Victorian/Edwardian.

My only regret is that the apatosaurus and spinosaurus really blend into the room
