I don't know but their houses are definitely amanita muscaria.

Which makes sense as you want your house to be as inedible as possible. I assume they have some method of keeping snails, woodpeckers and other animals resistant to the poison at bay.

Amanita muscaria is not inedible, it just needs to be processed correctly.

It's 2025, you can flip a coin and be correct half the time, and no consequences if you're wrong.

Looks like there are consequences, they’re being called out, which is good

Being called out anonymously and never thinking about it again, that's gotta sting

Smurfs are most probably bald, as discussed in this thread on a good old fashioned forum: https://bluebuddies.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/1/1485.... And my unopular opinion is that Smurfette is most probably wearing a wig.

Why is that website?

The world would be so much better if there were only facebook, instagram and youtube apps. But then again I'm a Grouchy Smurf.

But the article does cover that. German gnomes (Kobolde, especially Hödekin) are usually depicted with pointy hats, or at least ones that curl backwards. The smurf hats are clearly wearing Phrygian caps.

A quick Google image search for "garden gnome" and "gartenzwerg" shows that both types are quite common. But they originally didn't necessarily have the hats common today. These are the oldest surviving garden gnomes according to [1]: Schloss Mirabell: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mirabellgarten_%E7%B...

A simple thanks for sharing these images. I had no idea that garden gnomes could be so artful, interesting, or powerful as those in these two images.
