Heard this stupid dad joke that killed me: Which Chinese word takes the longest to write? "Friend" (朋友) because it takes two months just to write half of it

[parkchanwoohoo]

Which character is faster, hot (热) or cold (冷)? Obviously hot, which has 4 legs to cold's 1

Why do Chinese vampires hate spicy food? They only drink 不辣的

bullshit words I use:

- afaik/afair: Short for "as far as I know/remember"

- wossname: Thank Terry Pratchett for that, word placeholder

- thingamajigabomb: Extension of "thingamajig"

- et al, et cetera, a-la, exempli gratia, ja, naturlich, gut, suss/süß: Extralinguistic ones, spice up the place (place being speech)

- mojito, liege, mite: Generally gender neutral vocatives

- qué: Extreme shortening of "okay"; Spanish loanword "what?"

- amicus: Rare, "friend"

- il'yall: Short for "I love you all"

- gnily: Short for "Goodnight, love you"

- jimmu whisi: Rare, Deites-cryptolanged "hello there" meant for rent-lowering gunshots/"We weird in this motherfucker, normie" greeting

- glorified Markov chain: AI chatbots and image generators

there IS actually a reason why seconds and minutes (and degrees for geometry) are in base 60 instead of base 10, and if you want to blame someone for that, blame the very specific way Babylonians counted with their fingers.

[death-to-usa]

The way Babylonians finger-counted was by using their thumb to tap each phalange of the fingers in the same hand the thumb was in, in the order of proximal to distal phalanges and index finger to pinky finger (for a total of 12 taps), and lifting a finger on the other hand every time they counted up to 12, resulting in each finger in the second hand representing 12 taps, with 5 fingers representing... 60 taps.

[death-to-usa]

thats actually spot on.

[death-to-usa]

yes. a gross is defined as 12 dozens.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I might start counting on my fingers like this now

I love this image immensely because first and foremost I find it incredibly funny to apply in dire situations. But second and second-most because on occasion, in certain circumstances, it represents a truth and gospel unmatched by any other statement on the internet.
