Everyone’s assuming her petrifying gaze would have NO effect here and that’s clearly wrong. It would be a healing stat buff actually. She can regenerate and strengthen her girlfriend by looking at her.

hey can somebody explain why the webpage for the texas roadhouse location opening near me has nothing on it except an upside-down peanut overlaid over what i believe is hebrew text?

[booklovertwilight]

TL;DR: I asked my mom who’s fluent in hebrew what this text means, and the best translation I got was “(adjective) car belonging to (feminine person)”. which definitely raises more questions than it answers.

<grammatical geekery/supporting evidence>

There’s more than one language that uses the Hebrew alphabet (notably, Yiddish), but the words here look much more like Hebrew than Yiddish, so we’re assuming it’s that. (Although, interestingly, the only complete word we have is a word in both languages, and means the same thing.) The first word has the right letters to be the word for “car”, as in automobile, and the second entirely covered word has an adjective ending. After that, the fully uncovered short word at the end of the first line is “shel”, which means “of” as in belonging to. That last word starts with a letter pair that’s super common (like “ch” in English - there are millions of words that start with them), but it does have a feminine ending, so it’s a female person or maybe a place.

There are a few other things that the first word could be - notably, the first three letters make up a prefix that often means “bad” or “rotten”, which sounds like it makes sense (”the peanuts are bad so we won’t be serving them” or something), but actually doesn’t because of the “of”. Hebrew grammar doesn’t work that way. I couldn’t get a complete sentence from this lead.

I’m interested to know if there’s somebody with a bit more time on their hands, or fluent in Yiddish, who could try to solve this unnecessary mystery.

i finally have an actual lead into this mystery and now i have more questions than answers. thank you for this new insight

please does anybody know yiddish. i'm at the edge of my seat

I visited the specific location’s site, and sure enough the peanut is still there. I inspected the html to see if the peanut was an overlay on top of the text and it could be removed, or the text could be extracted from the html, but no avail - the peanut and text seemed to be a combined image.

I ended up being able to extract the peanut via modifying the html in an admittedly creative way (considering that I have little-to-no HTML experience) and view the underlying text:

[image description: a screenshot of the website of the Texas Roadhouse location described in the original post, but without the peanut obscuring the background text] The text itself reads “מיקום מדויק של פתח המערה“. Plugging that into Google Translate yields “Exact location of the cave opening” or “Exact location of the entrance of the cave”. I was able to verify with a Hebrew speaker that this is an accurate translation. Hope this helps solve the mystery of the Texas Roadhouse peanut. Additional information: - The png file of just the peanut, without the text, is named map-marker-peanut - The area where the peanut/text resides seems to be a type of location map (references to mapbox API) but with no data - I removed the peanut by using Inspect Element on it, and changing the map-marker-peanut url *in the url in the “background-image” value* to use a transparent png from Wikipedia instead

[image description: the same screenshot of the Texas Roadhouse website, but re-cropped to show the firefox html inspector tool on the bottom half of the screen. on the left of the tool, an html element referring to what was the peanut is selected. on the right, the background image value of that element is shown] If you’d like to verify for yourself, you can try to copy what I did here shown in this image. Sorry if my image descriptions or HTML jargon aren’t accurate - I’ve never written an image description before, and again I am not experienced with HTML. @toastpotent​

The best thing about that article is that there gets to be a point where you’re like surely. Surely we can’t get sexier and less-martyr-y than this. And that point is about a 3rd of the way through the piece.

you’re not stuck the way you are now. every day you have the potential to grow and to learn, and you do grow and learn, all the time. it may not feel like it because it’s so subtle, but you do. the universe won’t let you get stuck, there is so much more to discover.
