There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

This happened during a certain English attempt at genocide. The answer is no
There's too many of those, can you please specify? Do you mean the famine of Bengal, the Irish Potato Famine, the Boer War, or one of the other ones?
Ooh. Good opportunity to hit me with the "you have no idea how little that narrows it down".
It was the potato one though. Grass stains on an Irelander's lips became a signifier of when a person was a few days from dying. That may have happened to others but Ireland has a particular cultural memory of that little misery
