Why is the powerplant’s name in a weird language? Yeah, we first heard about the Chornobyl disaster through Russian-language news aired from Moscow, and they obviously used the translated name, “Chernobyl”. But, that’s like talking about “Londres” instead of London if you first happened to hear about some events in London through French news.

It’s a place in Ukraine, and in Ukrainian it’s Chornobyl.

Also, the powerplant was named after a somewhat nearby village. Then, because it needed a lot of workers, they founded a whole new city right next to the construction site of the Chornobyl powerplant. And that city was named Prypiat, according to the river flowing past it.

So, the photos are from the town of Prypiat, near the Chornobyl atomic power plant.

Put your oven to heat up to maybe 175 degrees? Take some flour and sugar and salt and, I guess, baking powder? Mix in correct proportions, add enough of some form of edible fat and a suitable amount of a liquid safe for eating. Mix well. Pour in forms.

Put the forms on a baking tray and into the oven. If you’re very lucky and you remembered to add the unlisted ingredients in correct amounts, you now have something cupcake-like. Put some toppings on.

Yoghurt.

…what? Nobody you know IRL uses Facebook, Linkedin, Insragram, Bluesky, Twitter, or That Google Thing?

How is that possible? I don’t think I could find anyone here in Finland who could say what you’re saying. Need more data about this case of yours!
