What the fuck is in the middle, some kind of walrus angel?

[–] RedDawn@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

That is a pelican feeding its young with its own blood (something pelicans don’t even actually do).

The flag of the U.S. state of Louisiana consists of a rectangular field of blue with the arms of Louisiana, a pelican vulning herself, in white in the center, with a ribbon beneath, also in white, containing in blue the state motto: "Union Justice Confidence". The flag was officially adopted July 1, 1912, and is often referred to as the Pelican flag.

As early as 1812, the brown pelican appeared on the Louisiana state seal, various militia company colors, and uniform buttons, including on a flag with a blue field and the phrase "Union, Justice and Confidence".

The Louisiana Confederate flag is really ugly

They'd be better off transliterating into something like Luwiziyana officially, like how Haiti is Ayiti in the national creole

This is actually part of the de-Frenchification of ~~Louisiana~~ Louisnanafrance-cool

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Nah, judging from the a-suffix, it's derived from the Spanish version (Luisiana) of the French name (Louisiane).

semi-viral

what's the metric for this. I have the same question about semi-erect btw

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Engorged, yet still pliable

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

I feel like people who have penises know intuitively what semi-erect feels like. It’s more of a vibe than a measurement :agony:

Ah yes Louisiana, known for its bananas. That's why we call it Louisinana

[–] regul@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Most bananas used to enter the US through the port of New Orleans, purely by virtue of it being the closest port to where the majority were grown and with access to the Midwest via the Mississippi. Also the United Fruit Companies railroads in Central America were built with slave labor from New Orleans: https://archive.is/uxWGN

Huh so actually they should be called Louisnana

No fucking way that's a typo, right? I and N are so far away on the keyboard

[–] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If your brain is getting ready to type an N later on in the word and the signal replaces the "press I" with "press N"? I could see it.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I do that shit all the time when I'm on a keyboard lol

[–] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Probably want to type a little slower when you're writing 4 words for an 8 meter wide light projection, though.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Livin' on the edge

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

If that's what i wanted, I'd do it. screm-cool
