Isn’t it just a regular shallow depth of field? You can see the piece of paper smoothly transition towards being in focus

Beetroot is great when winter comes round. It fits so well in those hearty roasted dishes

What do you think of Max Miller’s youtube channel?

One of the mustard plants is actually a close relative of the broccoli/cabbage/cauliflower/the rest of that set, and it gets used as a vegetable (as opposed to just the seeds being made into a condiment) in a fair few places

…I don’t think that’s actually what they meant, but it’s possible!

Oooh that’s cool, thank you for sharing

And literally meaning “bear service”, I think? That’s hilarious. The most formidable beast of the wilds of Europe, simply a bumbling little guy always making things worse when they try to help

Pfft, Britain and France already have plenty of islands. No, it is only right that it goes to a country that has none. One that has no islands because it has no land at all any more. Only Yugoslavia has a rightful claim to Greenland. Greenland and Yugoslavia are even roughly the same shape, especially if you just include Albania into Yugoslavia for extra inter-Balkan diplomacy!

Vinland is Newfoundland, I’m afraid! It’s not generally thought that the Norse made it as far south in the Americas as the modern day contiguous USA

Fake-eating an electrical plug. The plug was both not connected to any power - I was “eating” the end that goes into the wall - and also never even close to actually being in my mouth, but the teacher was apparently at just the right angle for it to look convincing and freaked enough that he decided to call my parents and give me lines

Europe is already doing more than America. But my proposal is that maybe we don’t extort the Ukrainians into oblivion

Half of the initial proposal is $250 billion, not $2.5 billion. $250 billion is the entire GDP of Ukraine. There is no world in which half a trillion is a sensible number here

This is, for a sense of scale, more than five times the total value of everything the US has sent to Ukraine since February 2022

This is obviously beside the point and not helpful to you, but why is the Norwegian-language one called Norway and not Norge?

While I do not think that Aliens was a bad film at all, I kinda wish it wasn’t a sequel to Alien. It’s a completely different film, far more action-oriented

Then again my view is probably significantly coloured by the fact that I enjoyed the first one a lot more
