even with all borders removed ireland still isn't reunified

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

They dug out the border to fill it with water. The northern moat they call it

Time traveling Ira songs intensify

This map was brought to you by Britain, the great!

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago

It never will, it’d be pure folly to believe otherwise.

At the same time, 1491, you can do a map of horses in North America with the same result!

Interesting! Wonder how that would've changed early American cultures if they hadn't died off?

[–] weariedfae@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hey, just a little FYI but humans were in North America before the horse went extinct* so they likely did have some interaction with ancient cultures.

_* From what I gather there is heated debate as to whether the domesticated horse that was brought back to North America is truly non-native. I'm not a paleontologist nor phylogeneticist so I can't speak to any of that.

And avocado.

All the good things that end in O

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even Spaghetti-Os. Can't have those without the tomato sauce.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Those are banned in Europe. Thankfully.

There's some contraband here and there, but the food police is on the case.

Please explain meme for us who aren't this well versed in history

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a meta meme. There are a few popular memes out there showing the divide between "Potato Europe" and "Tomato Europe"

But this one is showing neither because it predates their arrival in Europe, I guess.

finally, Ireland is made whole

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's amazing that we can recreate this map with such accuracy!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wait until you see the map of the Americas before 1492 with the shredded wheat/oatmeal divide.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Italy didn't have tomatoes in the 1490's? 🤔

What did they put on the pasta back then?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While being totally wrong because it wasn't called Alfredo at the time and wouldn't be until like 1930s, they did often put oil, herbs, and cheese on pasta before the popularity of the tomato so you are still correct.

Belarus and everything else?

Surprised irland isn't yellow arint they known for liking potatoes

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lib.lgbt 5 points 2 years ago

Potatoes aren't native to Europe. Europeans first discovered the potato after traveling to the Americas.
