I’m in the midlands and never heard that phrase but I have heard taking ice to the eskimos, which might be offensive now.

Devi@kbin.socialto Europe@feddit.de•Jeremy Corbyn to run as independent candidate in UK general election51·1 year agoThere was a large campaign at the time to suggest anti-zionist was the same as anti-semetic.
Devi@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most expensive thing you've come to own that you've never gotten to fully use?9·1 year agoThere are 100% shelters that let you take pets, there’s also organisations that foster pets for people escaping abuse.
The statement about haunting you to the end of the earth is a giant red flag. You need to get away. He’s dangerous.
Devi@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most expensive thing you've come to own that you've never gotten to fully use?13·1 year agoI’m so sorry. Can you not sell some of the wine? Would he notice if it was a smaller collection? Just a reminder that financial abuse is abuse, control is abuse, there are shelters for people who are being abused which will get you out of that environment.
Devi@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who agrees that the Internet and social media are toxic?122·1 year agoI feel like that’s the same as saying people are toxic or socialisation is toxic. Yes, toxicity can exist online, it can also exist in the supermarket, at school, in a field miles away from anywhere. It’s just a facet of being with other humans.
Devi@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•A bit of a weird question: Can modern medicine be a threat to humanity long-term by greatly reducing effects of natural selection?141·1 year agoSurvival of the fittest just means the most adapted to the current environment. Our current environment has medicine so we’re adapted to that. If that suddenly changes then sure it would be an issue, but so would a climate difference of even a few degrees, a slight difference in the chemical make up of air, etc.
Where I’m from a sweatshirt is a very specific thing which doesn’t have a zip.
Devi@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive?3·1 year agoHead transplant dude?
Devi@kbin.socialto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•MP uses parliamentary privilege to ask why Lucy Letby story blocked in UK1·1 year agoShe’s been found guilty of a crime. They’re doing a retrial on one of the counts but she’s been convicted of seven murders.
Devi@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come hotel check-in time is always 3-4?13·1 year agoI always just go, worst case scenario they were super busy the night before and don’t have any rooms ready so you leave your bags with them and go explore lighter, but most of the time they have a room and let you in.
You can also pre-book early check in but I tend to only do that if I really need it because it costs and usually you can sneak in by turning up.
Devi@kbin.socialto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Schools won't be allowed to teach children that they can change their gender ID, reports say111·1 year agoBecause we all know 12 and 13 year olds never have sex. One study says nearly 3000 of them got pregnant between 2000 and 2007 but clearly immaculate conceptions all round.
Devi@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?1·1 year agoThylacine? aka Tasmanian Tiger.
Devi@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?1·1 year agoI saw them in New York! Brilliant!
Devi@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?2·1 year agoI went on an alligator boat in Florida and they were cool sure but the Anhingas hunting and catching fish were cooler, I didn’t even know you had those!
Devi@kbin.socialto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 20231·1 year agoBut you somehow think people voting normally is organisation? But government led organisation isn’t???
Devi@kbin.socialto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 20232·1 year agoI think you’re confused by what an organised plan is…
Devi@kbin.socialto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 20236·1 year agoMaking a country win is way easier than making one lose. You’d have to put in enough votes for every country as you don’t know how other countries will vote.
There’s definitely been an organised plan for Israel, people have spoken about it openly on twitter
Devi@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?1·1 year agoI’ve tried to find out if they ever did marry but I can’t find her online. I like to think she did though and it went well because she did really like the picture.

This seems to be a decent intro. Basically therapods, of which T-Rex was one, are ancestors of the birds.
