Okay so this kind of navigation:

Home > Sports > Football > BVB

Is called “breadcrumbs”, because, like with Hänsel & Gretel in the old Grimms’ Fairy Tales strewing breadcrumbs on their way into the forest, to be able to find the way back, it can help you navigate your way back home.

But Hänsel & Gretel only found their way back, when they used white pebbles… the day they used breadcrumbs, birds ate the crumbs and so the siblings get lost in the woods until they find the witches cottage.

Breadcrumbs is how you DON’T successfully navigate your way back. Breadcrumbs is how you fall into the hands of some grubby old cannibal lady.

    Holy shit, you call them Hansel & Gretel? Here in my country we call them the equiavalent of John and Mary

        Hansel and Gretel are diminutives of Johann and Margaret. I guess that in English they are turned in John and Mary which have the same origin.

        Yep - that’s the same one. Here in my country we call them “João e Maria” - this is my wikipedia page; seems like the portuguese call them by the original names

            Well, the region i live has nice-ish weather i would say.

            It’s sunny all year but 1 month in the year, what i don’t really enjoy is how dry the air always is - and also, as a massively exploited area by agribusiness the air quality sucks.

            If you even consider moving to Brazil, go for the Jundiaí region or somewhere near São Paulo’s coasts and massive natural reserves - air is there is much better while also having great quality of life
