Generations of mariners spent their lives circling Hawai’i and died ignorant of it.

If I remember right, the tactic used by the Polynesians was basically to sail against the current, because that way they could use driftwood and stuff to predict landmasses.

other people posted:Taiwan #1 ? The native people now are like 2% of the population b/c of european and then chinese colonization in the 1600s and live on reservations styled much like the USA's The natives, who were by no means a unified society really ever in their history, have tribes who won a war against the USA once, and many have defeated the Japanese numerous times So Taiwan is kinda #1 but also kinda poo poo

A successful coffee ad in that it made me laugh out loud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzjUWfhgJwQ "Don't you have anything else? I only drink flat white*. Or a latte macchiato would be fine too." "Shut the gently caress up, this is good!" "Saludo, when good is enough." *) No idea  e: I guess not too successful as I'm not going to buy loving Saludo. 3D Megadoodoo has issued a correction as of 09:36 on Oct 13, 2020 |

If Maui'd worked a bit harder, he could have brought Zealandia back to the surface. quote:Zealandia (/ziːˈlændiə/), also known as Te Riu-a-Māui (Māori)[2] or Tasmantis,[3] is an almost entirely submerged mass of continental crust that subsided after breaking away from Gondwanaland 83–79 million years ago  Fun fact - all penguins evolved on Zealandia.

3D Megadoodoo posted:A successful coffee ad in that it made me laugh out loud:  Flat white is espresso with a smallish amount of steamed milk and little or no foam. Quite a few cafes switched "cappucino" out on their menus and brought "flat white" in a few years ago in the game of "starbucks is copying and coopting what we're doing so we need to change faster than they can keep up or we drown", so it certainly has some trendiness implications to it. I'm not sure wtf a "latte macchiato" would be, since latte = drown the espresso in milk and macchiato = espresso with a bit of foam on top. So unless there's something else lost in translation it's generally cafebabble.To go a bit more critical on it, this ad makes me reflect how independent operators who try new things are besieged by capitalism on both sides, with half of the big corps who pay attention to them just looting their concepts for ideas and mass packaging them, and the other half basically going "you're too pretentious and we sell 'normal'" This also reminds me of how I've had several people argue to me that franchises are local businesses.

The rest stayed on the island.

The general market price of coffee is below what it costs to produce. Coffee, along with chocolate, is some neocolonial crap. This is why I buy artisinal and ridiculously expensive coffee and sometimes chocolate, where I have some reason to believe that the money I pay actually benefits the farmers. This makes me a wanker, I know. Fun fact: most coffee farmers don't drink coffee, because that's expensive, so they actually have no idea how it tastes. Also the chocolate industry has a plan to stop "the worst kind of child labour" (child slaves) by live 2035 or something.

Which is also kinda wild considering our nearest major landmass is Australia, which has some of the longest continuous human settlement in the world at like 30,000 years or something. Turns out the Cook Strait in between us is super difficult to traverse in a boat. Look at this guy mixing up the Cook Strait with the Tasman Sea

This makes me a wanker, I know. I have a lib friend who went on a tear like five years ago after he read an article about chocolate. I remember one party where we were making s'mores and he shittily brought out some fair trade chocolate and started talking about what we had as "slave chocolate". god drat that dude sucked. sucks.

Platystemon posted:Capitalism hack: want to taste coffee but don’t want it to cost you an arm? Pick coffee beans from scat of the Asian palm civet. Further fun facts: there are two types of kopi luwak: the one where the critter lives in the trees and eats the fruit and shits out beans. This is good coffee essentially because the critter does a good job cleaning the bean. This is also expensive and I have no doubt involves not paying labourers enough. The other type is the shittiest cheap beans force fed to critters foie gras style. This is sold to tourists at a very high profit I'm sure. The actual reason the good kind is good is the local soil and the fact that good a good washing of the beans in the area is difficult. My general point is that coffee should be a luxury item, not something you drink five litres of every day.

I refuse to believe that poop coffee is good by any real metric other than "it's weird and expensive so it must be good" It's like coffee for audiophiles.
