I don't know where exactly maize was cultivated, but Mexico comes from city Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

They found millenia old traces of maize in the valley of the Rio Balsa in Xihuatoxtla and also in the valley of Tehuacán.

Something about Coxcatlán phase. Couldn't find a name of a people who would have been responsible for the domestication.

It's easiest to say it happened in Mesoamerica.

That 100% juices other than grape and apple are hard to find.

The "100%" on the front is very tricksy and wouldn't fly in the EU.

It was deliberately put there to trick people into thinking 100% fruit content, but it's actually whatever they could find in there that had anything to do with 100%.

Here, there's always the fruit content up front, wether it's 1%, 10%, 50% or 100%

The number 10'000 is calculated off of the birth rate of the USA.

Globally it should be one of the lucky 360'000.

I feel like someone who has tasted blackthorn berries pre-freeze would not be too unfamiliar.

Witch hunts happened way later, 17th century iirc

YouTube music is the worst.

I entered "antifa playlist" into the search bar and got multiple ai generated full on nazi songs in my recommended.

First pro car interviewee: "I can't unload my shopping directly in front of my house, therefore I'm being harassed"

What?! Bringing harassment into the mix -> immediate dismissal of opinion.

Third interviewee: my daughter had a collision with a cyclist.

So you want her to have a collision with a car instead?

A brittle rock made of glitter. It breaks in this linear fashion and can be pound into sand by a mortar and pestle.

Anyone got any clues?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I found it in Romania and after searching for forums of minerals from Romania, I got a few other clues.

It isn't conclusive to me yet, but the possibilities are:

  • Pyrit
  • Mica
  • Schist
  • Nagyágit
  • Calaverit
  • Sylvanit

Of these, Mica and Sylvanit fit the best (imo).
