@PugJesus@piefed.social @hansolo@lemmy.today

I get y'all are beefing hard here, but this has been one of the most fascinating threads I've read in a while. While I'm sure neither of you are happy at the exchange, I am very happy about it and thank you for giving me more info about a place I've spent 0% of my life thinking about.

Lol, thanks I guess! And no true beef from me against @PugJesus@piefed.social at all. But that meme might as well have been about how Thomas Sankara invented the phone book and was secretly the Tooth Fairy.

Burkina Faso is a really interesting place, and just always feelt offwhenever I was there. Like, there's tons of vultures. Everywhere else in the whole Sahel region you'll see doves and crows and eagrets. Burkina is just overloaded with vultures. In the city, out in the county, so weird. Tragic what has happened there over the last decade.
