I’m pretty sure Gaetz looks like that because there’s a tiny, evil extraterrestrial inside his skull driving his body around like that character in Men in Black.
Seeing his behavior at the RNC recently he is nothing short of a selfish, pompous asshole who thrives on the postitive reinforcement generated from the dumpster fire of his own ego.
Here is another mildy interesting fact, in Swedish we group onions and garlic together by using the word “lök” with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:
“lök” - onion
“gul lök” - onion or yellow onion
“rödlök” - red onion
“vitlök” - garlic
We never talk about “vit lök”, it doesn’t really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of “lök”…
“gräslök” directly translates to “grass onion”, but the proper translation is “chives”
Garlic, onions, chives, and leeks (plus shallots, spring onions / scallions, and ramsons) are actually very closely related, being part of the same allium genus. That's the same level of closeness as dogs to wolves, for example my example is bad, see AlotOfReading below
Dogs and wolves are the same species (Canis Lupus), not just members of the same genus. Genus Allium is much bigger than genus Canis (over 800 species) and its members are much less closely related to each other. The common food species are at least evolutionary cousins though, unlike other parts of the category. The onions and chives all share subgenus Cepa, while garlic and leeks are off in subgenus Allium.

You did not define what it means with the space though, and you were kind of arrogant when I asked.
Not to mention it doesn’t really make sense to say there is a term for something that doesn’t exist. Which btw does exist. Most onions are white. So either get better at explaining or have patience with a question. I actually wanted to know. I intended to come across in a joking way because I obviously know garlic is used worldwide these days.
Your inital question was about us not having garlic in Sweden, when I litterarly wrote that in my inital post, hence the downvote, I even explained the difference the spacing makes in the reply to you.
I screw it up because I use it in both Norwegian and swedish. It’s du lukter dritgodt in Norwegian. I generally forget how to properly spell “drag it to hell” between the two. And in my heart I’m 5-10.
We use white onions for Mexican food here in the US. I guess it’s obscure enough that they aren’t used in Europe. Not a huge taste difference between white and yellow onions.
one is a word, the other is a word with a descriptor in front of it. like greenhouse vs green house, one means a building made of glass where you grow stuff, the other is a house painted the colour green.
Exactly the same in Finnish also. I wonder if these words came from Swedish into Finnish, even though our languages share different ancestors. I imagine all these onions came a lot after the base Swedish / Finnish was already established.
There’s a particular variety of Chinese garlic that grows as a singular bulb. It originates in the Yunnan province, I think. I remember my mother growing it back when I was a child. It’s really nice!
Jag är inte helt säker på att det är samma sak, heller. Min mor odlade en hel del olika grejer, och jag minns specifikt en hel del lökar och kål från Kina.
EZ wishlist, thank you for posting here or I would have never heard of this! Take the other commenter’s advice about not sending out tons of review copies to “curators” who will resell your game. My partner and I will both be picking this up when it’s out!
Thank you for your generosity and your advice :) I remember actually getting quite a few requests for my FIRST game and I was happy to send out keys, because I was just content with someone showing interest in my project. Later on I figured that it was scammers…
