Lmaoo, i was thinking about this post. Just thinking about being the social media manager for Kiribati, waiting for your chance to show the world what you got.

What is Kiribati and why is it shaped like a cock?

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 27 points 9 months ago

Supposedly the name is the indigenous populations attempt to write down "christmas" which the british named the islands for strange anglo reasons.

Kiribati comes from "Gilberts". The atoll depicted in the tweet is Kiritimati, from "Christmas", which is just one of the many atolls in Kiribati. Please be aware that "ti" is pronounced like "s".

Why did they spell it with “ti”

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

Literally the exact same reason why we spell "nation" with "ti", except that with Gilbertese, "s" or "si" is just thought of as a regular alternate pronunciation of "ti" rather than as its own sound. The magic words here are "assibilation" and "allophony"

Please see a doctor if your penis is shaped this way.

Of which London have population of 1800 and Paris zero after UK and US nuke tests. Sounds like a prophecy for the namesakes.

You can tell when someone has a right to speak authoritatively about Kiribati based on how they pronounce the country's name.

Also if you want a real downer of a historical dive, check out the history of Banaba and the Bananan people - it's a like a remix of all your favourite historical themes!
