I think you're wrong on this one.

Not being a settler colony doesn't automatically mean you're monocultural.
In my experience, Italians are acutely and constantly aware of their regional differences and their regional language. They often switch between local language and standard Italian in their day to day life. Even more so than Germans.

Of course, there are those who believe they're monocultural. But that's the same in the US, you have people who say to every non-white person:"go home to your own country."

You are First Nation, so you're aware of the peoples that have been there. But the average American (Canadians probably less so) thinks about Native Americans zero times in a year. (This is a hypothesis)

Americocentric insular view of food. Right.

They can be, they might not be.

Recently, I researched the average juice in an orange, a lemon and a lime. After a while, I realised, all the websites had stolen from each other and there was not a single original thought. They all had the exact same numbers.

lemon = 50-60ml
orange = 80-100ml
lime = 90-110ml

But worst of all, the lime was off. I measured four limes, and it was not close. A lime has basically as much as a lemon, not more than an orange.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri

To clarify a joke from another comment:
Oscar Pistorius was a Paralympic athlete (sprinter without lower legs) who had shot his girlfriend. Maybe you remember the news.

Cato sprinkled it in every time: "Furthermore I'm of the opinion, Carthago should be destroyed" until he got his third punic war.

Later, when Carthago was destroyed, the Romans poured salt over the ruins. It was a symbol that nothing shall grow on this soil again.

A brittle rock made of glitter. It breaks in this linear fashion and can be pound into sand by a mortar and pestle.

Anyone got any clues?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I found it in Romania and after searching for forums of minerals from Romania, I got a few other clues.

It isn't conclusive to me yet, but the possibilities are:

  • Pyrit
  • Mica
  • Schist
  • Nagyágit
  • Calaverit
  • Sylvanit

Of these, Mica and Sylvanit fit the best (imo).

This is actually classic fascist playbook:

  • We are the strongest
  • But also - o no - we are under attack from all sides, everyone is against us

How did it happen that many people (Americans???) flush fish down the toilet?

Just bury it, like you would any other dead pet.
