I cannot, for the life of me, say that word correctly.

[blackberrynova]

Why would someone eat a turtle :'(

[mprdo]

It is also a type of chocolate candy with chopped nuts. 31Dec18

[Deus_vult_sic]

Because it's tasteful.

Apperantly gaint turtles taste amazing, to the point it took a hundard/200 years(cant remember) for it to get its latin name simply because everyone who was going to bring them back ended up eating them before they got there

[RickPT395]

Is that serious? Or are you just joking? Cause it was funny but the detail of the 100/200 years made it more convincing

It's true. Galápagos expeditions.

There were many turtles in the Galápagos, each subspecies unique to one of the islands. As they could live on ships well enough and back then, there was nothing so grand as a spot of fresh meat while at sea, Darwin and associates ate the couple of dozen turtles they took from the islands while en route to Polynesia.

Lots of people ate Galápagos' giant turtles. Apparently they were too delicious for their own good and, thus, quickly went the way of the dodo.

So basically, Darwin not only peddled the theory of evolution, but also directly played a big hand in the extinction of at least one species.

This was also the first thing I thought of when I saw the sentence 'Jeg spiser ikke skilpadder'. (Well... that and it's turtles all the way down.)

Relateable

[AnthonyZia1]

How do you know if they are saying
''I do not eat Turtles'' or
''I am not eating Turtles''
??

[xxyzxxyz]

I think it depends on the situation, but generally you can use both since there is no present progressive in Norwegian

[JanSoukup1]

Jeg spiser ikke levende vesener.

[Quentin1o]

[CaptainFoxglove]

I eat turtles literally all the time. :P
