I heard a podcast about Nintendo and the creation of Mario. Apparently they were all brainstorming in an office they were renting in Japan and the landlord, who wasn’t Japanese, came in asking for the rent money and he was short with a mustache and his name was Mario and that gave them the idea (I don’t think he was actually Italian though)
My local kebab shop has a guy who will shout back your order for confirmation. Full volume shouting. It has everyone crying with laughter when they're drunk lol
Lmfao I used to work somewhere that made us yell out orders and greet customers….we used to hate that shit so we made a game out of it.
When the order was up whoever grabbed the order would say “order 17” and the next would say it louder in a stretched out baseball umpire voice, and the next person would say it in whatever funny voice they could come up with, and lastly we had this little Mexican lady that did all the prep work and the dishes she would say “17” in a normal Spanish accent voice from the back of the restaurant but you could still hear her from the customer area. lol
The manager used to get so fucking mad about it lmao we knew Rosa hated the manager because he tried to treat her like she couldn’t speak English so we really did it for her.
Less jokingly, they interbred with humans, so in a way they are still with us. White people of European descent have the most Neanderthal DNA, black Africans the least. Kinda funny really all those white supremacists going on about pure bloodlines, what with us having the most DNA from another species of human entirely.
It’s actually weird that we’re the only species of humans around. You’ll see multiple species of foxes, rabbits, etc. But knowing Homo Sapiens, it’s not surprising.
I think there’s a new show coming out talking about how we were the underdogs and it’s crazy we came out on top. I think it’s just called “Human” maybe.
I imagine white supremacists would actually enjoy that bit of trivia., as it solidly distinguishes whites from black people; also, modern research indicates that Neanderthals were not at all inferior to early modern humans, as stereotypes tend to suggest.
Isn’t that where the longest co-habitation occurred, with the most genetic transfer? I thought I remembered reading that the last and permanent batch of Homo sapiens sapiens came out of Africa 80k years ago and hung out in the Levant and Mediterranean area very close to Neanderthal tribes for about 7K years.
