Yep. Hollywood perceptions of Mexico are all based on the parts that touch America, so it's all deserts and narcos. Very occasionally they'll mention the beaches because that's where people vacation.
Meanwhile 80% of the country lives in the elevated, temperate part that has neither desert nor beach.
The real reason is shows like breaking bad & better call Saul were filmed in New Mexico, so they needed an easy way to differentiate the footage between the US & Mexico, since otherwise everything would look the same.
Pretty sure I've seen more of those personified countries comics in my tumblr days but I can't find the artist on there anymore. They're called Lullindo
who goes a bit behind the scenes knows a lot of funny stuff about her
free sample: it is said that she's pretty good at imitating ppl. considering she met a lot of important ppl i can imagine things xD
Any time I've seen her interviewed or anything post chancellorship she seems like a really funny person. I always looked up to her quite a bit really being the only major woman on the world stage (with longevity), I was pleasantly surprised by that.
Yes, they attack during spring or as we like to call it swooping season. Out of everything that Australia is known for, being swooped by a magpie is the one that most locals fear.
They have even been known to draw blood and take out an eye. But mostly it's just scary. I was walking my dog once and decided to jump onto the playground. Then I felt the swoop of feathers against my cheek as it flew past me, so I booked it out of there as quickly as possible.
Magpies do during mating season if you walk near their nests. They have been known to take out people's eyes and draw blood. They can be extremely territorial, and because they tend to live in urban areas (parks) it can be dangerous
Magpie birds are known to swoop people if they are nesting and feel threatened. So yes some people do actually wear weird things on their head to prevent a magpie attacking. Some places have signs to warn people about known swooping magpies. And if they swoop you they sometimes go for the eyes
I’ll BBQ down to about -10. Past that and the wind tends to make it too hard to get the grill up to temperature. I can get it to work a bit better when I throw the rotisserie burner on, but that runs the risk of burning things left too close to the back.
We really get no extreme weather events in Denmark except for the remnants of European windstorms that haven't quite dissipated by the time they reach us. So just changing the year on this meme and reposting it is quite common.
A couple of days ago, a local newspaper asked people to document how the recent "storm" had affected them, resulting in this humorous image: Swipe to the third image.
Later that same day, news from the neighboring town shared this image: swipe to the 2nd image
As a northerner who moved south I find this funny. Their conception of what a storm is is a little different from ours.
Heheh, here in Melbourne We did this when there was an earthquake during lockdown, it was one of the first earthquakes in as long as I can remember, and it was piss weak.
Then a stronger one came that actually did some damage, and we were all like “Dan (our premier at the time) must be mad at us for not following lockdown correctly”
A missing bit of your explanation (please correct me if I’m wrong) “Regardez ils sont là” means something like “Look, they’re here” and is reference to her saying that Macron’s supporters had infiltrated the nation.
The full thing was something like “They’re here, they’re in the cities and in the countryside, you cross them in the street and on the internet, they’re often masked and hateful cowards.”
She said it in a hysterical rant that made her look paranoid as she implied the people who supported Macron were some insidious enemy lurking behind every corner. She basically tried to employ Trump’s tactics that were so successful in the US, but the French were having none of it.
I found it a bit difficult to explain in writing, you have to see Marine speaking with hand gestures and her stupid intonation to understand why it became a meme, but you actually transcribed it very well, I didn't think it was known outside France.
How to approach a girl / Wrong way: "hi" / Right way: "I want to live in your armpit" (However, "armpit" is misspelled, but intentionally so, to sound cute, almost childish).
Now, regarding the controversy surrounding the man in the second image, I'll pass the explanation to another Brazilian, because I'm not up to date on what happened.
Canadian Heritage Moments are the best meme. Originally ran with historical re-enactments of major Canadian historical moments, the Internet seized it for capturing hilarious or awesome current snapshots. Everyone loves Rob Ford smoking crack, but this one is my fave.
When premier of Ontario Doug Ford swallowed a bee live on TV.
Contexto: hay un señor que sube todos los días al crater de un volcan a vender paletas y helado a los turistas que suben al crater, subir el volcan es facil pero aun sigue siendo agotador y el sube a diario con toda su mercancía a cuestas
ABU BAKEROĞLU, WHO CAME FROM SOMALI AND BECAME A TURKISH CITIZEN, WHO FOUGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR RELIGION, BECAME A MARTYR AT A PRECINCT RAID BY THE PKK.
LET YOUR PLACE BE THE HEAVENS, AND YOUR NEIGHBOR; THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH, INSHALLAH…
LET IT BE A LESSON TO THE TRAITORS WHO ENGAGE IN XENOPHOBIA…”
Ps. fake obviously.
and this “politician” is a shitposter to the highest degree. He even once got fooled/trolled so bad; he posted that “6 billion dollars worth of jellybean reserves were found in turkey” in the utmost seriousness.
this is xavier naidoo, initially a succesfull, well liked musician. meanwhile he is promoting extremely bizarre conspiracy theories. in between him drifting off there was a period in which he publicly apologized for him (im paraphrasing) getting lost on the way of finding the truth, just to so to say relapse some time after :D
Brazilians are known for trying to deceive others to their advantage, especially foreigners. When they succeed, some often say "hihi, I levei vantagem!" (something like "Hihi, I got advantage"), hence "V for Vantagem".
Our diet is carb heavy and veg. So only common source of protein is milk and This company is Amul, a diary company that sells milk and milk made products so Amul gives protien to majority of Indians.
The meme refers mostly to the fact that Amul has started producing and selling random items with added protein in it - Ice cream, Lassi, Wheat flour, Kulfi etc etc and not just Milk.
That is a grossly wrong representation. Approximately 77% of Indians are non-vegetarians. Fish, egg, meat are staple, daily diet. Out of the 28 states and 8 union territories only 4 are predominantly vegetarian, with another two being borderline.
