what do titmice feel when they eat sparrows?
hi @[email protected] ! I was told titmice eat sparrows. what do they feel when they're ripping out a fellow small bird? do they understand titmice and sparrows are kinda alike? do they have bad feelings about killing them for eating, then? or are they completely indifferent?
@[email protected] @[email protected] well, it's not as crazy as everyone else's pranks but it was still funny to me when I was 12
I had Bashqort classes in school as a kid, but we weren't actually taught the language, it was just a required-by-law-but-nobody-cares class (which is really sad, I think). we just spent time looking for words in the dictionary or reading texts nobody understood aloud
one day we were given some adjective-noun pairs to translate with the dictionary, and a classmate was too busy playing a game on his phone to write it down, so he asked me. the pairs were quite generic, something like "beautiful flower" but I decided to have a little fun and told him the pairs were "dead child", "cold-blooded murder" etc. I was really obsessed with death and murders as a kid
unfortunately, he asked the teacher if she actually asked us to translate this and she was a bit shocked :neofox_laugh_sweat:
