All living things, including humans, can not live without food.
Our main food is rice.
What happens if one day, an epidemic in rice causes the world to be unable to harvest rice?

The prices of flour and meat will surge
There will be more people who do not have enough money to buy food.
So many people will starve to death.

The famine is the situation that humanity can not eat.

In the past, Ireland had a population of 8 million.
But after famine, the population dropped to 4 million.

The cause was potatoes.
This case is called Great Famine.





Ireland was a British colony in the past.
All the cattle and pigs, including the crops growing in Ireland, were sent to England.

So the Irish needed a crop that could be eaten all year round and grow well on poor land

A potato called the Devil's Crop
It was the most affordable food because it was cheap

Potato is a representative turmeric crop with corn
It was the best crop to mass produce in a bad environment.

Thanks to the potatoes, the Irish were able to withstand poverty
They could keep hoping that someday they could be independent.

Ironically, Ireland is hit by potatoes.



In 1842, a large-scale potato blight called potato blight began to flow in the eastern United States.

Potato blight proliferates in leaves
At a temperature of more than 10 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 75% or more, it spreads throughout the crop in two days.
The rain was the best condition

And because it flew in the wind to infect crops
It was not easy to prevent potato blight.
The plague that started in the US quickly spread to Europe, and Ireland was no exception.



In the summer of 1845 Ireland was exceptionally rainy
The potato plague could be active.

Irish potato farming has been completely ruined.
Other foods are the situation that Britain is taking
The Irish are gradually starving to death.

Especially in the winter of 1846 to 1847, the Great Famine caused the most deaths

The government has not come up with a reasonable solution
As a result, more than a million people died.
Citizens began to emigrate to the United States.

Potatoes have increased to 8 million.
Potatoes have shrunk to 4 million.

The Great Famine was the harshest famine in history



"Irish people can not bear the hunger"
Bottled water full of bottles
Hearty food
These things on the Internet are influenced by the Great Famine

The development of potato dishes in Ireland
Famous for Fish and Chips is the influence of Great Famine

Why is w pronounced double u rather than double v?

Why is w pronounced double u rather than double v?

Korean Hangul has a double consonant that uses the same consonant twice

If there are two giyeok ssanggiyeok
If there are two digeut ssangdigeut
If there are two bieup ssangbieup
If there are two siot ssangsiot
If there are two jieut ssangjieut

English may use the same letter twice.
It is W

But is it weird?
Double means double
U means the alphabet U

That means w has two u.

In the shape of W, there are two U, not two U

Why is w pronounced double u rather than double v?





English was originally used by ancient Romans.
At that time, J, U, and W were missing characters.

The appearance of U was regarded as the same character that was not distinguished from V by the pre-medieval period

Since the Middle Ages U and V have been used in a slightly different way
If you write the word first, write V
If you write it later, write U
But the pronunciation was still the same [u] pronunciation

Let's see the BVLGARI jewelry brand in Italy
If you list English as pronounced, you should be BULGARI
It's written in BVLGARI.
This is because it was written in ancient alphabetical notation




But there was a W in the rune that the Germans used.
In the rune, W was a letter shaped like English P.
The way to read was wynn
The pronunciation was the same pronunciation as the current W
This is the pronunciation symbol [uu]

After the Norman conquest, the use of W increased.
As a result, rune wynn has disappeared since the 1300s
Started to pronounce V as [v] and U as [u].

So needed a character to pronounce [uu]
At first, used a real UU character that combines two U's
Later, this was changed VV
Finally, this shape is W

The shape of the letter has changed, but the pronunciation has not changed.
It's still a double u, not a double v.



But the language that actually uses W as the [w] pronunciation
Only a few languages, including English.

Most European languages, such as French, German, Dutch, Italian
W is pronounced V.
And when they read W, they read in double v, not double u

Let's see Volkswagen in Germany
If you write in English, you should be VAGEN
WAGEN in German.

So the pronunciation is different.

Swedish, Norwegian, Danish
Use W only when referring to a person's name, place name, or foreign language
Do not usually use it.

Winter is written as WINTER in English
VINTER in Danish.

English is pronounced [w] Danish is pronounced [v]

Before we live on Earth
There were dinosaurs on Earth.

About 150 million years ago
But as we all know, dinosaurs have become extinct.

There are many reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs
Because nobody saw dinosaurs in person
No one can tell the exact reason.

There are some interesting reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs.
It's a fart that dinosaurs are extinct.







Farts contain various components.
Methane and carbon dioxide are the culprits of global warming.

Although there is a saying that farts affect global warming
The farts that make up a person are not so frequent and have little impact.

But what about the farts that eat more animals than humans?
The amount of gas emitted by herbivores is about 100 million tons per year.

In fact, the gas released by four cows is
It's like the amount of gas a car emits.
So scientists are looking for a way to get methane out of the fart of cattle.





So what if a fart is a dinosaur that feeds much more than a cow?
Dinosaurs are much larger than cattle and much more than cattle.
They eat a lot, so they discharge a lot.

The amount of gas emitted by herbivores is estimated at 100 million tonnes
The amount of gas produced by herbivorous dinosaurs is 500 million tons per year
Experts are speculating.

Global warming has begun with the methane released by the dinosaurs.
Experts assume that the Earth's temperature has risen by one degree.




When the Earth's temperature rises by one degree, the plants dry up and the drought begins.

It was the same when dinosaurs lived.
The plants dried up and the herbivorous dinosaurs died of starvation.
Because the herbivorous dinosaurs are dying, the carnivorous dinosaurs have nothing to eat.

This is the story of dinosaurs being extinct because of their farts

Of course, the story that dinosaurs were extinct only with farts is a bit less persuasive.
But the cause of dinosaur extinction can not be seen as one thing
Is not fart extinction a possibility?The cause of dinosaur extinction is fart?
