found it on reddit, but it's more about the comments that followed

Say it's allergic to vegetables, and if eats a child that has eaten it's veg it will spit him right oot

quote:

This is how rumors spread. Fun fact: In my country there is a superstition that says if you eat mango with milk, you die. A surprising large part of the population believes it. As in, millions.

This is because back in the day kids would often skip school, go inside other people's gardens or farms to climb mango trees and eat them. To curb that, someone started the rumor and since kids would often have milk with their breakfast, they would be afraid to eat the mangos. Those kids grew to be parents and passed it along.

That's a good example I completely blanked on when trying to think of an american version. Closest I came up with was parents telling their kids it was illegal to drive with an interior light on in the car.

US led a coup to unseat bolivian government, coup-ed government just won a landslide in the elections. Weirdly people don't seem to appreciate the US installing far right freaks in power.

Frog puns are toadally awesome


Important to note that the coup was preceeded with a bunch of bullshit on all the major news outlets about how suspect the elections were. How obviously they were rigged and unfair and you needed to have them again, and how in the meantime these ultraright conservative freaks could take power to govern. They proceeded to immediately poo poo the bed.

So there's nothing really stunning about this return. I will say though it's a bad look for the US. How you supposed to maintain your evil transnational shadow empire if you can't even pull off a coup in Latin America anymore.
