Can anyone explain wtf is going on here especially a Korean speaker

[tadeadshihamurder]

someone on reddit explained 😭

[hagesunniva]

the fact that people prefer to read and write in english rather than their native language should actually be seen as a crisis im not joking this is not a good thing

[i-too-translate-into-polish]

Fakt, że ludzie wolą czytać i pisać po angielsku, zamiast w swoim języku ojczystym powinien być postrzegany jako kryzys, nie żartuję, to nie jest dobra sprawa

[translatingpostsintoafrikaans]

die feit dat mense dit verkies om in engels te lees en skryf, eerder as hul moedertaal, behoort eintlik as 'n krisis beskou te word, ek maak nie 'n grap nie hierdie is nie 'n goeie ding nie

[suomennoksia]

se tosiasia että ihmiset lukee ja kirjottaa mieluummin englanniks kuin omalla äidinkielellään pitäis oikeesti nähdä kriisinä mä en vitsaile tää ei oo hyvä asia

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

to, že lidi radši čtou a píšou v angličtině než ve svém mateřském jazyce by se mělo brát jako krize, a to beze srandy, to není dobrý

[thespacebetweenworlds]

dass Leute lieber Englisch lesen und schreiben als ihre Muttersprache sollte als Krise gesehen werden, im Ernst, das ist nicht gut

thinking about diatoms again

[crabussy]

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

[crabussy]

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.

[crabussy]

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

[a-glittering-universe]

thank you op, this post gave me such reality whiplash that I had to go read the wikipedia for diatoms and now I have Learned Things :D

[crabussy]

hooray!!! let’s all Learn Things every day [:

[baddywronglegs]

I love that a lion with an eagle's head and wings is such a well-known mythical beast but apparently the English language can only agree on a grand total of 3 out of 7 letters in its name.

[quietsamurai98]

Regex that ought to match (most) spelling variations of this mythical beast's name:

gr[iuy](?:ff|ph)[eioy]n

[artemisonahunt]

I write it either as gryffin or griffin

But

Gruphon, gryffon, griphen (sounds like the plane, grippen, lmao), gruffin and others would be enlightened spellings

[asmuchasidliketo]

@artemisonahunt this one is for you

i will say though like i think criticism is fine and healthy and there should be more resilience to it but i also think that if you’re going to sit around publicly bitching with your buddies about how it’s *checks notes* ‘pathetic’ that i write sympathetically about elwing/‘problematise’ the uncritical fanon around kidnap fam when i also am apparently ‘part of the problem’ by writing kidnap fam and ‘normalising war crimes’ (why are you using fucking incest anon language about THIS 😭) even if you agree with the whole ‘being raised by your captors isn’t an uwu bean found family and there are many other ways to explore this situation critically’ thing i have going on and accept that i do treat them as acts of/in war… but you just don’t like it anyway because i should make elrond beat maglor up or something. then i think you should have the decency, self-respect and shame required to not overbearingly polish my asshole and repeatedly call me a wonderful writer with fantastic takes on my own page 🙏🏽

if you are going to be a hater, then you should 100% commit to it. ain’t no halvsies in haterism!

Chez casa mia

Chez moi is the French way of saying ‘at my place’. The preposition chez has a fascinating origin: it comes from the same word as Spanish casa (‘house’): Latin casa.

Casa originally meant ‘hut’, but it was destined for a great future: it would become the common word for ‘house’ in almost all Romance languages.

What was the original Latin word for ‘house’ and what happened to it? And where does the current French word maison come from? My new infographic tells you all about it and shows a wide selection of Romance descendants of Latin casa.

Pronouncing each of these in sequence is a very strange and amusing physical sensation, and I highly recommend it.

The entire point of, OK, my phone really wants to call it Anastasia so I guess we’re doing that? The entire point of Anastasia (as administered by a board-certified Anastasiologist) during sugary. Sugary? Haven’t I suffered enough? The entire point of Anastasia during augury. Jesus Christ. Hold up. You know what, augury is preferable to sugary. Augury is obviously performed by an auger (makes sense if you give it a think) whereas sugary is performed by…? A sugardaddy? NO THANK YOU. Anyway. The entire point of Anastasia is so that you don’t know what music your sturgeon. Fuck right off. Was playing. While you were under. You’re not supposed to wake up from Anastasia and immediately realize you managed to get earwormed by Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” during your sugary.

someone on reddit shared texts of her and her husband's exclusive english dialect and it's beautiful

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.
