Okay so my favorite thing about this that kinda gets lost in translation is that the word ăŹăŒăȘăăŻăăŒăčă is read as âgaarikku tousutoâ which means the final ă is just an extension of the last sound
TL;DR In English this tweet would just be
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GARLIC TOASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Thereâs a subreddit called r/totallynotrobots where people pretend to be badly-disguised robots. They post cat pictures with captions like âSINCE I AM A HUMAN, THIS SMALL FELINE GENERATES POSITIVE EMOTIONS IN MY CARBON-BASED BRAINâ or something like that.
Thereâs another subreddit called r/SubSimulatorGPT2, that trains GPT-2 on various subreddits to create imitations of their output.
Now r/SubSimulatorGPT2 has gotten to r/totallynotrobots, which means we get to see a robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human.
Here is a sample:
If only Alan Turing were alive to see this.
this might be the oldest jpeg I can remember. had this bad boy saved to my computer when I was like 10
I love "how do you do math?" questions. Here's how my brain does it:
How about you guys?

Hello Titty
you know avatar the last airbender and gravity falls are both thought to be Very Good and one thing they have in common is that they had a set end. atla was meant to last until aang mastered all four elements and defeated the fire lord, and gravity falls was meant to last a summer, and the creators didnât do more than what they had to do.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR UHHHHHH TEN YEARS
the theremin is a delicate instrument, notoriously difficult to master; performers must shape their hands in the empty space between two metal antennas, seeking blindly for the pitch they want. tell me, will- am i to be the theremin? never touched, but played all the same?Â
#i am begging you
RENO MY RENO! Canadians fix peopleâs home improvement mistakes and are super nice about it but FIRM with man who donât finish projects!
so far some shows that have worked for me:
Lord & Ladles - scottish chefs cook historical feasts in historical mansions! you meet wacky old money people and learn about strange things their ancestors got up to! you get to watch as world-renowned chefs fail at catching a fish! someone makes a hedgehog out of marzipan! people in the olden times ate some crazy shit! every episode ends with the chefs cheersing each other while lying on vintage furniture!
Big Dreams, Small Spaces - cute british people have cute yards that cute gardening man helps to make into much cuter yards. one lady wants to grow vegetables to share with her neighborhood. one lady wants to sculpt a huge mud head covered in moss coming out of the ground. one dad wants a garden for his downâs syndrome kid so he makes a sensory garden with a thousand different smells and textures. one couple wants to grow flowers for their wedding. itâs all wonderful.
Nailed It! - a bunch of people probably got high and decided to throw money at this show idea. everybody tries their best and everybody comes away either having learned something helpful, having had a rollicking good time, or having won a bunch of money. all the judges are good sports and nobody is made to feel bad for doing bad. also thereâs some fucking crazy shit they get up to with modeling chocolate i tell you what.
Skin Wars - actually a lot about artists and their craft??? not really at all about sexy ladies being naked??? very cool stuff done by people with atrocious fashion sense and a complete willingness to buy into the moment. a few bad apples but mostly the reality-show-ness is pretty toned down and people are there to make cool art.
A Cook Abroad - chefs go to different parts of the world and learn about food there. A dumb white guy makes bread with adorable egyptian ladies! A british man gets exhausted by the length of roads in argentina and is only recharged by steak! An awesome woman makes cheese in france!
Love Your Garden - british man does garden makeovers for wholesome deserving families with special needs. Maybe a little bit on the weepy side of things but his assistants are all great and have fantastic hairstyles and people in wheelchairs deserve flowers!
Puffin Rock - this show is supposedly for babies but it is SO PRETTY and SO CHARMING and itâs about animals and nature and stuff and doesnât really completely shy away from that?? like, one of the characters is a little rodent and the seagulls are the bad guys and heâs actually afraid of getting eaten?? anyway baby birds sing songs with baby bunnies and play splishsplash with baby seals and snuggle with baby animals of all sorts in a beautiful hand painted island.
Animal Airport - hey did you know some crazy shit goes down in Heathrow?? Did you know that there isnât rabies in the UK? Everyoneâs doggies and kitties have a long trip but they all get home in the end and also there are turtles and cheetahs and bugs and fish and everything!!!
this list is so relevant to my interests it hurts.
iâd also suggest the bbc historical farms seriesâitâs not on netflix, but it *is* mostly on youtube. the metafilter guide that originally introduced me to it is here. there are a bunch of different series of it, now, and each one is a group of archaeologists and historians living on a period locationâvictorian farm, they live in a farmhouse from the era, and they farm and raise animals and etc wearing period clothing, using period tools and sources as guides. and it sounds like it could be cringey, but theyâre all experts in their fields and actually really invested in trying to do things well, so instead itâs a bunch of shows about teamwork and being friends (most of the core team stays the same) and learning things, and itâs delightful.
similarly, the sweet makers and victorian bakers have modern confectioners and bakers recreating period foods wearing appropriate clothing and using cookbooks from the era to guide them. (warning that one of the sweet makers episodes deals heavily with the history of sugar, and the slavery and horrific abuses associated with the same.)
If you want something positive, somewhat peaceful, and food craft related to watch on YouTube, look up loftypursuits (they make candy if youâre unfamiliar) and manaboutcakes (I might have a bit of a crush on the host)
I need my Netflix to have this category.
While Iâm at it, I need Netflix to have the ability to make, curate and share playlists. Why isnât that a thing?
@as-i-emerge
LOOK
i know itâs obvious, but: everything david attenborough ever did. itâll be animals rather than people, except for one miniseries â âhuman planetâ i think? something like that? â but his voice is so soothing and kind and pleasant.
Iâm not sure if they are one Netflix, but the people who made bake-off also made âThe Great British Sewing Beeâ and âThe Great British Pottery Throw Downâ which are also good.
To this list I would add Grand Designs which is about people with HUGE DREAMS as homebuilders and how they make it work or donât but itâs just lovely
AddingÂ
7 Days Out - might not be soothing for some people, but itâs a fascinating show about how huge events are put on and all the work that is done behind the scenes.
The Big Flower Fight - just like Bake-Off, but with flowers & florists
Next In Fashion - a nicer/friendlier version of Project Runway
The Toys that Made Us - history of iconic toys
The Repair Shop - people bring precious family heirlooms to a wonderful group of craftspeople who fix them.Â
Moving Art is a series thatâs images of scenes from around the world, largely just shots of nature, set to music.

If you have a Duolingo account, please consider upvoting this request to add Coptic to their language courses.
Coptic is the final stage of the Egyptian language. It is currently endangered, with less than 300 Egyptians speaking it as their native tongue.
It would mean a great deal to indigenous Egyptians in the Coptic community to have our language preserved, and this would be a huge step forward.
If you donât have a Duolingo account, consider sharing this with those who might. Thank you! <3
Every day my joints are shocked and disgusted that I would use them for their intended purpose.
The Blue Spirit putting out firebending with a bucket of water is the absolute funniest thing ever done in avatar combat. It just is.
katara:Â *kicks zukoâs ass without even blinking* zuko:
I literally just watched this episode, and I'm sorry, but there's one thing funnier:
Zuko couldn't speak during this whole fight/escape in case someone recognized his voice. Can you imagine the frustration he must have felt having to go through an entire fight without yelling? Zuko???
Especially while dealing with Aangâs shenanigans?!?!?!
One of my favorite parts of rewatching the episode is imagining everything that must have been going through Zukoâs head during that escape.
Aang: Wait! My friends need to suck on those frogs!
Zuko, trying not yell out of anger and confusion:
It gets funnier when you think that he could absolutely, no problem go through a battle without yelling once, as seen here and yet chooses to be a dramatic gay and holler at the top of his lungs at every opportunity.Â
That says a lot about how he firebends vs how he fights with the dao blades.
He actually can't, at this point, fight without yelling if he's using firebending. In The Firebending Masters, he says he's been relying on anger and rage to fuel his bending, so yeah, in every firebending fight, he's drawing on rage and hyping that up by yelling. Someone has pointed out that after he finds the original source of firebending, he stops yelling all the time - I haven't checked that personally but it does seem accurate.
But he doesn't need to draw on fury to firebend hen he's the Blue Spirit. He can fight in total silence when he's working with a weapon he's more in touch with, when he doesn't need to draw on hate or anger to fuel it.
Imagine he does speak with a fake voice, but because he's in the middle of something and has a shit memory, he forgets which one he used the first time he spoke, so it's like
Zuko, in a mickey mouse voice: I'm here to rescue you.
Later
Zuko, in a deep Russian accent: we must get up into courtyard and lie low
Aang: did you have an accent before?
Zuko: no talking
Even later
Zuko, sounding like foghorn leghorn: now I say what am I holdin' these here ladders for?
Aang, making fun of him: it's a surprise tool that will help us later, ha-HAH!
this is the funniest thing ever oh my god
Can Americans please not bring Irish Gaelic names into white names discourse?
Irish is the native language of Irish people. Itâs an ancient language that is on the brink of extinction as a direct result of colonialism and cultural and physical genocide.
Names like Saoirse (freedom), Ăine (radiant), Aoife (beautiful) etc are traditional Irish names. Theyâre spelt âfunnyâ because Irish is a different language from English, and has some sounds that arenât found in the English language.
Itâs not the same thing as edgy white Americans naming their kid Kathylyn instead of Kathleen to try to be different
Also it's not even called Irish Gaelic it's called Gaeilge (gayl-ga) and is its own language, a beautiful one at that, fully encourage everyone interested in language revival to try learning it because we're losing it rapidly and there's not many GaeilgeoirĂ ("gayl-gor-ee" ie: fluent speakers) left
Yesâthis happens with Hebrew names all the time, too, and itâs really frustrating. No, the name Ariel isnât just a stupid Disney reference, itâs Hebrew. Toby isnât âweird for a girl,â itâs common for Jewish girls because itâs Toiba in Yiddish. Asher isnât a âtrendy white nameââthe influencer yummy mummy fucking stole it from us (which I hate). Believe me, I absolutely loathe those trendy made-up white people names like Bryzzley and Paedon, but keep in mind that thereâs a difference between names you havenât heard of because they belong to a different culture, and names some Mormon housewife made up by adding a bunch of Ys to a random noun.Â
This is also relevant with Welsh names. Cymraeg (Welsh) is a language found in Wales that has been severely damaged by English colonialism. Currently the Welsh government have been combating the dying of this language by making Welsh language a compulsory subject in schools up until sixth form, when you can drop it. All the signs have Welsh translations and almost all radio broadcasts, announcements, and phone lines have a Welsh option.
There are villages in Wales that speak only Welsh as well, I grew up in one that was mixed language but pretty much everyone bar a few immigrant parents spoke Welsh.
Here a some example names
Efnision, Branwen, Iown, Rhys, Nerys, Ceridwen, Sian, Taliesin
A few example names are from the Mabinogion which is the Welsh book of fables and includes some of the first stories about King Arthur.
This language is dying, but it's fighting to stay alive, and a lot of White Americans don't understand the history and significance of Welsh names.
Tumblr in particular is a very America centric site due to the majority of users being American so it's understandable that this isn't common knowledge, but it is still knowledge that exists and is valuable to learn.
Iâve been laughing at this all day
