A girl of about 6 or 7 was babbling nonsense words at her mom and I thought to myself 'she should be able to form real words and sentences by this age' but then the mom responded in kind and I realized 'oh wait, they're speaking french'.

Japanese Finger Names

I encountered くすり指 today and I felt very confused so I went and looked it up. Apparently it's the means the ring finger and I think it's the most confusing one since I don't have the culture background.

Went ahead and learned all five fingers, I like 中指 the most, sooooo straightforward 🤣

working at a Japanese company in Japan means sometimes the collaboration workspace plays the explicit versions of the dirtiest English language songs you’ve ever heard and you have to just ignore it

Bugs Bunny accidentally transformed the word nimrod into a synonym for idiot because nobody got a joke where he sarcastically compared Elmer Fudd to the Biblical figure Nimrod, a mighty hunter.

Bugs Bunny is more powerful than God

He also solidified the idea of rabbits loving carrots when carrots actually carry very little nutritional value for rabbits. The funniest part of that is that the original joke was a reference to a Clark Gable film where Gable munches on a carrot, it was never meant to imply that rabbits love carrots. The Clark Gable reference would’ve been obvious to audiences in the 40s but it has been pretty much lost to time.

Bugs Bunny has too much power and should be feared.
