There's so much shit in these books that's either foreshadowing or just otherwise really obvious on a reread that's fully just out in the open but you don't even think "hey that might be relevant" on your first read through bc in gideon your narrator has negative interest in the actual plot and would rather be practicing with her sword and looking at hot women, in harrow you have no clue what the fuck is going on bc harrow is both hallucinating and actually haunted and also gave herself a diy lobotomy and also also everything is being filtered through that and also gideon's half-absorbed soul, and in nona the narrator mostly is not interested in the plot again but this time because she's six months old and actively dying and she would rather be playing with dogs and also you're too busy focusing on the slice of life that somehow manages to make you cry over a t-shirt offering cheap mustache rides

Why is All for the Game suddenly back on my dash? I am not complaining, but where were you all for the last several months to a year of my time here?

I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

Wasp vid from 2024, this is a little sweetheart I fed jelly to and befriended. I could tell her apart from the mob of other bald faced hornets I was feeding cause half of her right antenna was broken off

Interacting with her and all the others daily was a highlight from that time

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

Glad everyone is getting so much joy from early Quaker names! Looking forward to seeing any future pets/children/bands/drag acts named after stuff on this list.

another thing that keeps annoying me recently is the “is 9PM late for dinner” post. what is dinner. dinner is not a universal concept of a meal

[slavicafire]

ever since I had to learn names of meals in English in kindergarten I was annoyed. listen!

śniadanie (small meal in the morning, think breakfast. that fits.)

drugie śniadanie (second small meal later in the morning. think hobbits. makes sense.)

obiad (big meal. two courses. soup? noon-afternoon. is that lunch? what the fuck is lunch. is it dinner? goodbye.)

podwieczorek (small afternoon sweet nonsense. hate it but can live with it. wasn’t practiced in my household anyway)

kolacja (evening-night, last meal, usually rather small as well. think breakfast, but reverse. translates to DINNER or SUPPER. these aren’t interchangeable are they. makes no sense)

polish makes sense. english is a despicable language and everyone means something else when they say dinner.

[willowmaidsworld]

this is so interesting to me cause in czech we have (or what I can tell we generally have, maybe there’s some weirdos/i’m a weirdo)

Snídaně. Literally the same as polish.

Svačina. A small meal eaten around 10 am to 11 am, usually associated with kids in school (they bring something, bread with something or a snack bar, from home). You eat this when you get hungry before noon, but not hungry enough for lunch.

Oběd. The big meal, biggest of the day. Traditionally a soup and a main course (maybe a tiny bowl of salad/kompot/something sweet with it). Acceptable for me (and my surrounding) is around 1 pm. (But can range from 11 am to 2 pm depending on lunch breaks etc).

(Odpolední svačina). I heaven’t eaten this in years, again, kid’s in kindergarten eat this. I’d say it’s around 3 to 4 pm. You can eat fruits for this, generally. (For some reason I feel it’s more acceptable to have something sweet.)

Večeře. A slightly big meal in the evening, I’d say 6 pm to 7 pm. It’s not big like a lunch, but definitely bigger than breakfast. Generally, we don’t eat heated food. (Or at least I don’t.)

There’s no oficial name for a food after dinner. We don’t have that culturally.

Also a polish here, living in the UK.

They seem to eat a small and often (but not always) sweet meal early - that is Breakfast.

Lunch is what you eat on your first break in school/work usually around noon. Varies in size but typically savoury.

HOWEVER, on days off work, they might eat a MASSIVE breakfast instead??? Called the ✨️English Breakfast✨️. Probably the equivalent of brunch.

I think whatever happens after just depends on what time it happens and where you are from. I always understood dinner as a big meal eaten earlier in the day, like obiad, but I have not heard it used a lot (probably because I don't eat around that time), and supper/tea as a meal eaten later, like kolacja. I met someone who used the word tea for a main meal eaten with family around 6-7pm (same time I'd eat a big meal with my family).

I think the problem is that our livestyles changed considerably and none of those words fit their original purpose anymore.

When I was little, I would also follow the breakfast-lunch-dinner-supper pattern. I'd have płatki (cereal) before school and a kanapka (sandwich) packed for school to eat before obiad served at longer break at school. (For me, podwieczorek was something eaten closer to the evening when I was very little back in kindergarden if I stayed in świetlica (where kids wait for parents to pick them up a bit longer).) Then I would eat kolacja (big-ish evening meal) later in the day.

But now I just skip breakfast and eat a bigger brunch meal around noon and then just eat a big meal anywhere between 5-8pm depending on what happens in the day, and my parents seem to do the same. We just snack throughout the day if we get hungry. Anything more than 3 meals feels like a waste of time that we no longer have in today's world, and maybe that is why the naming in english is also confusing.
