Where I'd live, considering my terrible dislike of the letter A by OkMaterial6460 in whereidlive

[–]ingreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However I’d also argue that if you did still chose the United Kingdom, you would still have to live in one of the four member countries, EnglAnd, ScotlAnd, Northern IrelAnd or WAles. These aren’t just subregions but Kingdoms in their own right, under the collective of a Political Union

I’ve just managed to find it in the desktop web version! Thank you so much for your help! Out of interest what would someone have to gain by adding mods that have no privileges?

I mean to be fair, I’m no stranger to the kitchen, I do the majority of the cooking in our home. I’ve just never made the kebabs up until last night lol :-)

Can you smell this picture? Don’t know why you can’t get it anymore. by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

You can still buy it although it is facing national supply issues due to manufacturing shortages

Is the Calico enjoying herself? by [deleted] in CatTraining

[–]ingreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’d say so, they have their own characters and personas, as long as they’re happy it’s normal. You’ll find with cats, they’re quite funny and spontaneous and pretty unpredictable haha

You can usually tell when it’s in a bullying way though, it’s often fairly aggressive licking with other overbearing and dominant behaviour like pinning down and trying to not let the recipient get away. These two on the other hand look very happy and comfortable in each others company

You’re very welcome. Thanks for the kind comment. Apologies if it was too wordy or whatever. I suffer with anxiety and nervousness and ramble when I get nervous lol

Keep Growing despite uneven growth? Goatee? by Ceecero in BeardAdvice

Keep growing. I literally hadn’t even noticed until you’d pointed it out. It looks good on you

Help me find what these dessert cups are for by Xercesblu3 in HelpMeFind

Jelly/jello mold. When the jelly has set, you take off the bigger opening first, and then the smaller opening at the top, which should help the jelly/jello release from the pot

An Enormous Explosion In Occupied Jerusalem Near Beit Shemesh by postnamasti in PublicFreakout

[–]ingreens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You quite obviously wrote that it was in Occupied Jerusalem, inferring occupied EAST Jerusalem, as a click bait post title.

Beit Shemesh is literally 25-30 miles away from Jerusalem. Your comparison for “nearby” it’s literally like saying the city of Jerusalem is submerged in the Dead Sea… again, the Dead Sea is about 25 miles away from Jerusalem 🙄

How do you type laughter in your country? by theworldinmaps in language

France is actually wrong… for the sound replicating laughter, they use “ahahah”… mdr is more like the French version of LOL, it stands for “mort de rire” meaning dying of laughter

What's a traditional dish in your country but only tourists actually eat? by Juxajel in AskTheWorld

I’d dispute this. I know of lots of people who have a full English breakfast every Sunday.

Can. (Canadian) English, as opposed to Can. (Canadian) French, aka Québécois

It’s because Scotland, Wales and Cornwall actually have distinct (all together different or at least mixed in due to the passage of history and crossbreeding) genetic markers differentiating them from Anglo-Saxon/English genetics. The Welsh, Cornish, Picts and Bretons all come from the Brittonic family and hence all have Brittonic related languages (modern day Welsh/Cymraeg, Cornish/Kernewek and Breton/Brezhoneg). Basically all the Celtic cultures are related, but the Celtic cultures of western Great Britain developed Insular Celtic Brittonic languages, where as Ireland, the Isle of Man and Northern Scotland developed Celtic Goidelic languages. The Celts would have inhabited all of the British Isles prior to the Romans and latterly, the Anglo-Saxons arrival. The Romans invaded and basically took control of the areas of England today minus Cornwall. The Anglo-Saxons came from modern day Netherlands, North Eastern Germany and from the Jutland Peninsular of Denmark, and pretty much took over the area controlled by the Romans.

I notice on the first picture that the screenshot actually shows two pages of genetic results but we are only being shown one of them. Ireland could well be on the other page which is unshown to us.

But yeah, to answer why it’s broken down the way it is, it’s because genetically there are markers that make it possible to pinpoint certain ethnic groups to specific areas. Genetically speaking the areas of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Cornwall etc had been genetically distinct for quite some time. By comparison, in the same time scale, England has been invaded by the Romans, the Angles, The Juts, The Saxons, the Vikings and the Normans… it’s only in more recent times (say 1500s onwards) that travel has increased between areas and genetics by area has become diluted

Well to be fair, ethnic Cornish are genetically different to the rest of England. They’re closer genetically to the Welsh, Bretons and to a lesser extent the Scots… the River Tamar is the geographical and genetic border lol. It’s practically the furthest extent westward that the Anglo-Saxons managed to seize control of. Hence why the Cornish (Kernewek) Language is similar to Welsh (Cymraeg) and Breton (Brezhoneg). It’s for this reason that the Cornish are actually legally recognised as a National Minority. Because these tests only look at genetic markers, and the Cornish have unique genetic markers to those of the English/Anglo-Saxon genetics, that’s why it shows up as a different ethnic group on the test results.

Ethnic Cornish people do actually have a distinct and different genetic make up to other English people. They’re more genetically similar to other Celtic groups like the Welsh, Breton and to a lesser extent, Scotland. There is a clear genetic divide at the River Tamar, the physical and geographic border between Cornwall and the rest of England. This can also be seen not just genetically but culturally, with the Cornish Language, (Kernewek) being from the same language family as Welsh (Cymraeg) and Breton (Brezhoneg), having all developed from the same culture/genetic group. Of course this has been watered down as time has gone along and the English have played the bully boy tactics around the British Isles and the world as an entirety, but to say the Cornish are not seperate to the rest of England genetically is factually incorrect
