For me Valentines day is special day when girls I used to be friends with tell me how much they miss me and how great I am. Then they ask me to CashApp them $20
Added a whole new layer of meaning to “we’re having the Captain for dinner”.
Why is it when someone makes a post like this it's always a white American man that looks like soyjack and never someone who was actually colonised?
- because indigenous people faced a 95-100% decimation by colonization—they were murdered and replaced by white people
  
  and i still see plenty of similar jokes from indigenous voices anyway so you’re not even right idk maybe you just follow the wrong people

  95% of hawaiians were murdered by white people?

  You mean this community we both follow?
- You only follow white people ? I follow some people from our literal colonies (I'm french) and I see stuff like that quite often from them
  
  No
- They have to be offended on behalf of all those people who are too busy actually having a life.
  
  Is disliking colonization really "getting offended on behalf of all those people"?
It's also Pale Blue Dot day! For those that haven't seen it before, it's a photo of Earth taken on the 14th of February 1990 from well beyond the orbit of Neptune. Earth is that single blue pixel.
- I can see the earth right from where I’m sitting and it’s in higher definition
- I can see your house from there
  
  ha, it's on the other side
  
  I can't believe I doxxed myself from space
- Wow. Puts into perspective how big space is. “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” - Dogulas Adams.
  
  You have no idea how rare it is to find a passing ship, much less one worth hitching a ride on but geez, I’m done with this planet.
Clubbed British Captain James Cook right in his head, then stabbed him in the chest with a dagger traded from his own supply, in an attempt to stop Cook from kidnapping the islands chief.

ftfy, not sure why one would want to frame it like this twitter user did, as some sort of uprising against an established and prolific oppressor. Those people did not let it escalate to anywhere near that.
- don’t forget we ate him
  
  Did you… cook him?
  
  🤘
  
  hell yeah this is the way
- It was a fully effective attempt to stop the kidnapping.
As they say in Australia, Captain Cook is like me on pizza night: undone by a large Hawaiian
Now that is a celebration I can get on board with lol
Hell yeah, now that's something I can feast to!
