When I was a kid my favorite roller coaster was the "Zambezi Zinger" from Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. It was a pretty tame coaster but had a fun spiral climb and at the end you went through an underground tunnel. It's still very beloved in KC to this day. Now there's tons of people in KC who have an amusement park in Colombia in their bucket list because when the coaster came down it was sold to the Parque Nacional Del Café in Quindio, Colombia. Now it lives on in a new place, and is supposedly now just as beloved in Colombia as it was in Kansas City The Zinger in the 70's  The Zinger nowadays, new paint job  edited because I guess I don't know how to spell "Colombia" Julius CSAR fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Jan 29, 2019 |

 Algarrobo, Chile. This isn't the most spectacular picture of Chile, or of South America. It is just where I was Monday. I find that a lot of images of South America focus either on the more vibrant/historical/beautiful things, or else tacky/criminal/poverty things. There is a lot in the middle. Maybe they aren't always image worthy, but there is a lot of just...normal stuff out there. Anyone want pictures of the mayonaisse and condom vending machines in the Santiago Metro?

So, there was a thread some time ago where a goon suggested I should go back and watch season 2 and 3 of Fear the Walking Dead. I foolishly decided to stop when they set the show on another drat farm. "Not again!" I was thinking. I couldn't have been more wrong. Ruben Blades is now one of my favourite multi-talented entertainers. An amazing fact is that he once ran for president of Panama. His party got a respectable 18% of the vote. (most countries don't use a two party system). Check out his Jazz music too. Go ahead and try to guess his age:  He's 70! I hope I look as fresh and healthy as that when I'm his age.

Quiemada Grande AKA Snake Island. Rising sea levels caused this island to be separated from Brazil about 10,000 years ago. The vipers on this island evolved differently from those in Brazil. The only prey was birds so they developed a highly toxic venom that can kill birds almost instantly. It can kill an adult human in roughly one hour. There are said to be five snakes per square meter on the island, if your sofa had this concentration of snakes psm you'd have to exterminate 15-20 of them. Civilians are banned from the island by law. The only building there is a lighthouse that was abandoned in the 1920's. A family lived there but of course, they were killed by snakes. Legend has it that snakes were pouring in through the lighthouse windows. Brazil's navy travels there once a year to perform maintenance. The only island more terrifying than this one is Poveglia Island (but only if you are superstitious.)

onedayholiday posted:moar like slytherin my butthole lol Thanks. I needed someone to break up my spamming chain. I want this thread to be a contender for the china thread. Anyway, back to the matter at hand: The Aztec Death Whistle The pre-Columbian empire of the Aztec was probably every bit as advanced as any empire in Europe. They didn't have our blacksmithing but light metal work (like goldsmithing) was as good, if not better, than anything in Spain. Masonry too. I don't think I need to tell anyone about how their agriculture was also lightyears ahead of ours. When we took advantage of their horticultural talents it had a profound effect on many other places. Where would we be without potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, maize, chilli and capsicum peppers? But their real talents lied in psychological warfare.  Imagine a few hundred Aztec warriors, all with this little doo-dad, blowing into them all at once, while hiding in the jungle. It could possibly kill an infirm person with heart trouble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Sw0VCtZs-g

I mentioned in my previous post how much of the food we eat today was developed by pre-Columbian civilizations. Well, south America has it's own spin on some old world classics: Buchada, Brazilian Haggis! Actually a goats stomach filled with a few extra organs than just heart, liver and lungs  Changua! Columbian...porridge? Cooked egg, milk and bits of stale bread with herbs.  Morcilla Dulce, Black Pudding! This stuff is supposed to be much sweeter than what is eaten in the British isles.  Apparently Nicaragua has it's own version of Casu Marzu, that Italian cheese infested with maggots. I couldn't verify if the picture I found was from Italy or there.

Columbian Medellin Cartel Boss Pablo Escobar was known for his fondness for animals of all types. He had the means to build his own personal zoo. It was full of animals that you wouldn't want to be left alone in a cage with. Some of them have got out.

Witness the ULTRA X  it's not so much a sandwich anymore as a pile of food on a platter, the fries will escape the esophagus and jam your coronary arteries instantly the etimology of x-tudo (and all x-things) is that x stands for cheese as in cheeseburguer. people didn't know any english and turned "cheese" into "x" because it's pronounced basically the same in portuguese, so we have x-burguers, x-salada, x-bacon and eventually x-tudo which translates to x-everything. if you want less obviously bad for your health fast food in Brazil you should ask for a bauru bagual fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Feb 2, 2019 |

Temaukel posted:Yes please.   This was from about two months ago, I went to San Antonio, which is a port city south of Valparaiso. San Antonio is actually the major container port for Chile at this point, and it has kind of a reputation as a sketchy place. Everytime I go to a "bad part of town" in Chile, its full of literal families with toddlers watching Irish Step Dancers. The area around the Port of San Antonio itself is kind of ugly looking, because that is the way most port cities are, but once you walk a few kilometers away, its just another nice medium-sized town full of cute little stuff like this.

What is going on with this picture? Do you notice anything going on here? And why do you think that is? Chile has an anti-obesity food law that prohibits advertising high-calorie food items in ways that would target children. So they took all the mascots off of cereal boxes, and there is also no Christmas-themed candy with Santa Claus or other such figures, etc. Foods also are labeled with warning stickers about their calorie, sugar, salt and fat content. This is important because it shows that countries like Chile are now struggling with first world problems, and they are having to do things like this to cope with these problems.

No plantains in changua, its just a broth of water, salt, onions and garlic that you add milk to then drop in eggs, garnish with cilantro and serve with bread. And there are two O's in Colombia people. Not that hard

This is Paine, a small town about 50 km south of downtown Santiago. Just like in the US, places like this that for a long time were "small towns" are basically exurbs now, bedroom communities for commuters into and out of Santiago.  There really is not a lot that is super-distinctive here, this is basically a small town street. I snapped the picture when there wasn't a lot of people in the way, but usually there would be a lot of people coming and going into those little shops. I don't know about all of South America, but at least for Chile, this is what an ordinary street looks like.
