If you're from New Zealand and you see this, is it like cannibalinception?

[-] Amazinghorse@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It's only a slight difference, but we call the green stuff Kiwifruit and the brown stuff Kiwi. So it breaks the inception chain.

Americans are advised to use the long form of the fruit name here, to avoid inadvertently asking to eat our endangered national bird.

If you're not from New Zealand and ask for a Kiwi to eat, is it like cannibalinception?

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 year ago

That's fucked up why would you show me this

That’s enough Lemmy for today. Going to put my computer in the trash and lay down on the grass in my backyard, look at some clouds for a while

Curious thing: the kiwi fruit came from China to New Zealand.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

For that matter where the hell is Old Zealand?

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Netherlands.

Edit: No, I was thinking of Zeeland. Zealand apparently is the English name for a Danish island.

Edit 2: While getting a pizza I wondered why the hell the English would call a place after a Danish island. So my first comment was correct after all. The Dutch named it after Zeeland.

A rollercoaster of discovery.

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

And I let y'all participate with that rollercoaster ride.

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And we learned from that rollercoaster ride

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Possibly even made friends along the way?

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Whoa, chill. We havent even had dinner yet !

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I know where we can get some kiwi

Story of my life

[-] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 3 points 1 year ago

To make it more fun, there's always The Pincipality of Sealand as well.

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Haha, yes. But with that I at least knew that it is on an old British sea fort from WWII. So that can't be the reason for New Zealands name.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

not with that attitude!

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I wrote that? Shit. My mistake.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No, you didn't, but it made me wonder if there's a new one where the old one is. Another person answered.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago
