these relationships are always increasing numbers as well. so obviously we need six eleven to mean somethimg

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

seems like tumblr finally realized the bad optics of not having the trans colors represented anywhere in their little performative pride like animation.

anyways transfems are still being banned en masse from this website for “any reason or no reason at all” and having their accounts taken down again and again when they attempt to remake. this includes accounts that had originally been around for over a decade, after they did nothing but get a bit too loud about being transfem. don’t shut up about it.

The "Wug Test" was a famous, mid twentieth century linguistic experiment by Jean Berko Gleason which proved that young children were able to generalize grammatical rules in the English language. As part of the test, Gleason invented a number of pseudowords, plausible-sounding words that a child would have never heard of before. The most famous was "Wug."

A child would be presented with an incomplete sentence such

This is a WUG. Now there is another one. There are two of them. There are two ________.

Children, without coaching, were successfully able to pluralize "wug" (a word they had never heard of before) into "wugs," proving that they understood the grammatical concept of pluralizing an English noun by appending an 's'. Other grammatical structures like verb conjugation were similarly successful.

The above posts are playing with this concept, starting with a parody of the simple, child-friendly sentence structure of the original test. The final post is a "reaction image" taken from a screenshot of the show Breaking Bad, to humorously express an emotion as part of (or in response to) the exchange.

I believe it is important to note that when there are zero things, the plural form is used

Something odd before I go to bed.

This is my home. I've lived here 4 years. I've internalized the floor plan well enough that my dreams could model it accurately if desired. But something is strange. In waking life the house is all one floor: no stairs inside the house. In dreams, it's always a split-level, with stairs at the blue X leading down to the living room. This feature has been consistent across hundreds of dreams. What do you think is the significance of that?

[michaelrotonal]

obviously the single step is increased to ten for the sake of extending playtime to get over the 2-hour return window

Why is yours so intense lol

let me have it pleeease

whenever I see a blaze that annoys me I go onto the op's blog(since I can't just do it from the post) and block them. #fuck you and #get off my dash

“I ain’t reading all that” your brain is rotting and shrinking

[springsgreenleaves]

Yes, but also, I am begging you on bended knee, paragraph breaks.

[michaelrotonal]

both of these are true but so is: learn to shorten things after they've been written

[drinksomefuckingwater]

drink some fucking water

[michaelrotonal]

i already am! haha gotcha

[michaelrotonal]

my trick for when i'm trying to start a task is figuring out what to do to start the task, and then doing that. then the rest comes naturally

[lady-of-vitreous-sight]

Hey just so you know you typed the word "that" twice consecutively in your latest post

well it just so happens that that that was actually intended to be there

[michaelrotonal]

it turns out that that "that that" that that post had had was deliberate

[395nm]

take a moment to perform a beautiful long division:

9 divides into 531441 how many times?

thank you for celebrating my special day.

please like this post if you did the math <3

[michaelrotonal]

as many times as you want. no matter what, 531441 / 9 = 59049.

however, fun fact about 531441: it equals 3¹², and its closeness to 2¹⁹ = 524288 explains why 12EDO is the currently used tuning system

The second Tuesday in June is re-bracketing day! Celebrate by taking a nedible and sending in a napplication :D

i think i'll just take an ap

my friend wrote a terrible docstring and now i'm going to publicly shame him for it

what the fuck is this??

what he's trying to say is: """ main menu drawing function:

inputs:

- isPlayer0Active (Bool): True when player 1 has joined

- isPlayer1Active (Bool): True when player 1 has joined

returns:

- hasGameStarted (Bool): True when both players have joined (game has started)

"""

but nooooo he had to go and write it as a fucking sentence for some reason

and waste like 5 minutes of my time trying to figure out what the hell this function was actually doing

[michaelrotonal]

well your explanation has a bug and his doesn't so
