Most reindeer live North of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon in winter months. I suspect most summer days are brighter than the few hours of twilight the reideer get in December.

It took me far too long to understand the wtf-ness of this.

In Finnish, 'Jussi' (the Finnish 'J' is similar to 'Y' in English) is a common men's name. Think John or similar. It carries some connotations from classic literature to peasants, hard work, and sisu.

And "pussi" simply means a bag, specifically a simple one usually made out of paper or plastic.

The branding is supposed to invoke an idea of breakfast buns that are traditional, simple, and full of energy to carry you through your day.

Huh. There being scorpions everywhere except the Arctic is such a wild statement to your average European. Never have I ever seen a scorpion outside a terrarium despite having traveled and hiked extensively in various countries around the continent.

Are they truly that common in the Americas, even in more temperate climates?

By definition, if Finland is included, we're talking about Fennoscandia and, if you add in Iceland, it's the Nordic countries.

Denmark is usually included in Scandinavia, but technically it isn't part of the Scandinavian peninsula.

However, I know that outside Europe the distinctions aren't all that important.

I would probably pick Denmark as a favourite based solely on their legal right to hit ice-crossing Swedes with sticks. And Swedes suck balls (source: am Finnish).

However, to be somewhat pedantic, Scandinavia either refers to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, or just Norway and Sweden (the actual Scandinavian peninsula). Finland, Iceland, and the Baltic countries are not part of Scandinavia.

Totality, as in the entirety, of the Alhambra is in the photo.
The most recent eclipse, which is probably what is causing the confusion here, was not visible in Spain.

No one.

Our one-year-old pup was genuinely upset about having to sleep in the same room as us on a weekend trip to the countryside.

At home he sleeps in the study and kicks up a fuss if anyone disturbs him by existing in 'his' room after 10 pm.

I'm genuinely curious to know where in the world you live. I would be horrified if someone was peeking under the stalls or bothering people by knocking on the doors.

I mean.. if you play video games for hours and hours, your brain will likely learn to play videogames better? Sure. I hardly see a correlation to mass murder here.

If you believe that action repetition is to blame for rewiring people's brains to be more efficient at mass murder, why not blame the military, or hell, why not just start picketing outside your local airsoft or paintball places?

edit: he'll into hell. I blame autocorrect.

I have two types of pictures on my phone: blurry pup, and peacefully sleeping pup.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I do recall Lorenz being caught in a lie and trying to cover it with stealth-edits. She has definitely had her (and her publisher's) agenda take precedent over facts back when she was covering the Depp/Heard trial.

However, while I do try to verify her reporting from other sources, I would not classify her anywhere near the imploding egomaniac billionaire. She's way better than any billionaire, because there's no way anyone can amass that amount of resources and not be selfish, problematic, and too far removed from ordinary people to relate to them.

They're quite unique. They're a lot more tart and bitter than raspberries, with an after taste similar to that of some particularly tangy craft sour beers. The seeds are also larger, but the slight crunch is actually very satisfying.

The flavour is not universally loved, though, and especially children often prefer cloudberries with a heaping of sugar.

It's cloudberry season here in the Nordics, and the bounty is very much worth the time spent foraging in mosquito-infested bogs. This is a dessert traditionally enjoyed in Northern Finland, and it is one of my favourite summer foods.

It's cloudberry season in Northern Europe! I never would have thought I'd enjoy romping through the mosquito-infested swamps, but the bounty is so worth it.

The foraging season is in full swing in Northern Europe. I met this little buddy today while out in the forest looking for berries and mushrooms.

I'm new to the web app, so please excuse a super basic question.

Up until today I've been accessing the fediverse through my Firefox browser on mobile, and I've been curating my feed by blocking certain porn and meme communities that keep popping up. On the browser, blocking can be achieved through visiting a community's sidebar and blocking them from there.

However, with wefwef.app, I haven't been able to locate a block button on the community page or the sidebar. Am I just really incompetent?

I'm not sure if I'm just technologically challenged, but I can't seem to find a way to log into wefwef from a smaller instance. Does it only support the big four?

//edit: Turns out you can only pop in as a guest from the bigger instances. You can log in to any instance, and I'm just dumb.
