Khajiit are the catfolk from the Elder Scrolls games. They usually also have a notable speech pattern in which they do not use first-person pronouns, preferring “khajiit” or “this one” to “me” or “I”
They want to hang out with you, and also you are warm
My cat is sleeping on me right now. I love that little guy

Skua@kbin.earthto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Just joined the "banned from ml" club 🎉11·12 hours agoI think it was substantially influenced by the traditional four humours. Carl Linnaeus’ work was not the first to call East Asians “yellow”, but it was very widely spread and influential. He categorised humans into four races and associated each with one of the humours, then describing that race as having the characteristics associated with the humour (hence the equally-odd “red” description for Native Americans)

Death Stranding is clearly attempting to look as realistic as they can manage

Skua@kbin.earthto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There's a decent chance that one of the many uncontacted tribes has started to worship airplanes14·2 days agoNo, not quite. Cargo cults didn’t worship the vehicles, rather the notion of the abundance that they brought. The famous Melanesian ones in WWII happened in societies in which gift-giving was already the key to social power; when WWII came along, both the Japanese and Allied forces brought unbelievable quantities of supplies to the islands and then also intentionally handed out a lot of stuff in order to play into that social practice. It was enough that some locals interpreted it as a sign that they could return to their old ways that had been suppressed under Christian colonial rule, the first signs of a coming new age of prosperity
Anyway all that is to say that no, uncontacted tribes can’t have cargo cults because part of the formation of a cargo cult involves contact

Skua@kbin.earthto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Both District of Columbus and Colombia are named after Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus) Does anyone know why they're spelled differently?2·3 days agoSeems like we’re not entirely sure, but the most widely-accepted theory is that Portuguese sailors heard a Sinhala name and got it a little muddled when telling others Europeans about it
One British guy who got captured there while working for the East India Company wrote that it was this, except for that Europeans intentionally named it after Christopher Columbus because it already sounded really similar
Skua@kbin.earthto World News@lemmy.world•UK’s largest Jewish group punishes members who broke silence on Gaza genocide17·3 days agoIs that not the suspended deputies describing the act as incompatible with Jewish values? I’m not sure whether “the act” here is the attack on Gaza or the suspensions, though. It’s a very poorly-written sentence on the part of the article’s author
There are some pretty big buildings in there! Apparently the site (the Mummy Cave ruins in the Canyon de Chelly park) consists of about 70 rooms between the different buildings. Not sure how many buildings there are, I can see three distinct ones in this pic but since only one of them is still mostly standing I can imagine there are others than are harder to see
