Context: The legendary founding of Tenochtitlan (today Mexico City), originally built literally on a lake. The story goes that the spot for the city was shown to a wandering tribe of Mexica by gods - an eagle with a snake in its beak perched on a cactus.
Btw, not my meme it’s been around for years in original mexican
Thanks for sharing this nice peek into Mexican history. It led me to Aztec priests, their razor-sharp obsidian blades and the impressions of Spanish conquistadores, detailing the things they saw, before they started doing what conquistadores do…
Conquist-adoring everyone and everything in sight of course
Ah, yes, the founding of Chicago
Fun fact: in Italian “Chicago” means “I crap in it”. Apt homophone for a city built on a body of water.
Another fun fact, there crap actually doesn’t go in the lake. They built a canal a while ago to flush it down to st. Louis then down the Mississippi.
Actually it goes into a tour boat full of people. And it’s Dave Matthew’s poops.
“Did I stutter?” - Tenochtitlan’s founder
What more could you want? The whole thing to be full of salt?
What could possibly be better? The fucking west coast or some shit?
