A small village, or rather the sign pointing to it, that I found in ~~canton Jura~~ bernese Jura.
Been there, the view from the tower is great.
Who? The covidiots and the anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists?
Gotta be honest, I wish they would actually all pack up and live together in one place.
Did you take this picture on thursday?
I saw a group of young people with backpacks waiting for the bus there, when I passed the sign on my bike ride. I wanted to take a picture too but these people looked very scary so I just went on.
**Etymology :**
>**moron (n.)**

>1910, medical Latin, “one of the highest class of feeble-minded persons,” from Greek (Attic) mōron, neuter of mōros “foolish, dull, sluggish, stupid,” a word of uncertain origin. The former connection with Sanskrit murah “idiotic” (see moratorium) is in doubt. Latin morus “foolish” is a loan-word from Greek.

Think I’d rather live in Misery 😛
Now there’s a village that is not missing its moron…
Ah, so this is where all the swiss anti vaxers are coming from.
where you got that username from
Incorrect. That is where they make them. There are too many to only be housed in one village. From there they get shipped all over the world.
We have those all over the country in the US. But they usually go by different names.
just came here to say Thanks! for my big lol when I saw the pic.
aka Mar-a-Lago
This should not be publicized , I don’t want the rest of the world to know.
Funny, my birth street is called “Road of Moron”. Never figured it out since now 😂
