TIL: The first European adventurers to land in North America were probably Irish, and not Vikings: St Brendan is said to have sailed a leather and wooden boat from Ireland to North America in the 6th century AD.

Fuck the Irish, fuck the Vikings, fuck the Spanish. And all the others who think they were the "first" in North America. None of them were. When the first Europeans appeared in North, Central, and South America, there were already many different cultures in America - ALL of which were wiped out and destroyed by the so-called "first" Europeans.
