Have a woman do it, or end up in a man cave like me.
Not all etymologies are lies, words do have origins.
Just because you heard some stories which were false doesn’t mean all stories are false.
On this wiki page it is explained that linguistics do believe the word Yankee comes from Jan Kees or Jan Kaas. It explains it can also come from the name Janneke, which is a new to me.
Kaas.
Fun fact: New York was founded by the Dutch. A curse word for a Dutch guy was “Jan Kaas”, which changed over the years to “Yankees”.
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What task would you excel in if you lived in the Stone Age?32·3 months agoI would excel in the use of the internet and computers as I would be the only one with knowledge about it. I would also be the only one who knows how to drive a car.
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thinking of immigrating to Italy - am I insane?3·3 months agoI was just a tourist, so take that into account. But in Napoli I felt fine on the main shopping streets, but when I would take a side road I felt very unsafe and watched. It’s clear you don’t belong there and you feel a target on your back, or at least that was my experience. Tourist heavy areas are better, but there are more pickpockets there too. I felt like I constantly had to look over my shoulder and shouldn’t divert too far from the busy roads.
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thinking of immigrating to Italy - am I insane?3·3 months agoIt’s really bad how the country is so divided. It would be better for everyone if this would change. But there’s a lot of crime in the south, so I wouldn’t want to live there.
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thinking of immigrating to Italy - am I insane?11·3 months agoI wouldn’t want to live near Napoli, or anywhere in the south. Italy is basically 2 countries. The rich north and the extremily poor south. It’s a nice country but also has it’s own issues. I love to go on holiday there, don’t know if I would want to live there. But I have the luxury of living in The Netherlands, I guess anything is better than the US right now. Knowing the language helps a lot, if you do not speak it then for sure learn Italian, even if it’s just the basics. Americans don’t have a great status as expats or tourists, anywhere really, adjusting to the customs and loosing the americanism is recommended.

Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Least regrettable but most unconventional liquid to take a bath in?13·4 months agoElon his blood. 6L is enough.
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Least regrettable but most unconventional liquid to take a bath in?61·4 months agoAt 1 bar the boiling point of oxygen is 90.19 K (−182.96 °C, or the temperature of a banana when thrown into liquid oxygen, in freedom units) so lower than this up to freezing point (54.36 K, −218.79 °C) is liquid form. So it should be comfortable for a human to bath in, with the current world tension, clown leaders and right wing extremism on the rise.

Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do people install expensive hardwood flooring in their kitchens, the place where you are most likely to drop food, cutlery, spill liquids, etc?2·7 months agoI always sit down, but can you be certain every other man peeing in your toilet does the same?
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do people install expensive hardwood flooring in their kitchens, the place where you are most likely to drop food, cutlery, spill liquids, etc?3·7 months agoI have 3 kittens in their puberty, that’s already more then I can handle. I’m skipping kids.
Lord Wiggle@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do people install expensive hardwood flooring in their kitchens, the place where you are most likely to drop food, cutlery, spill liquids, etc?33·7 months agoWhenever a man is peeing standing up, droplets will spread around the toilet. Over the years, the buildup will be horribly unhealthy and disgusting. But for Brits who already never wash their hands, it may not be such big of a deal.

Thanks! <3
No, no bandcamp. I’m just jamming, playing around, I barily record anything. Whatever I did record is on Soundcloud but the last upload is already really old.
