"comparing apples and oranges" has always been funny to me as an expression because people's go to exampe of two things so radically different that they defy any useful comparison are apples. and oranges. like you would struggle to find a more comparable pair of objects than that. theyre literally sold right next to each other in most stores.

[epicsause-official]

wikipedia has a whole ass section dedicated to international variants of the idiom so let me quickly run through them

see this is even worse than oranges. pears and apples are like the most comparable things ever. france takes another L

ok so this is what i mean. these are measures of temperature and texture and are in fact not very comparable. молодцы ребята продолжаем в том же духе.

colombia wins most vivid image invoked hands down. would not want that to happen to me.

and i think we can all agree romania wins this hands down. everyone give a big round of applause to romania

"nothing's stopping you from getting a flip phone again just do it" <- I Get the sentiment but the world has become more and more (esp since the COVID) smartphone dependent.

last month my brother, a life long touchscreen hater, had to get his first smartphone because he couldn't pay his rent without one since his bank website no longer allows him to use his personal card reader (given by his bank) to make payments. most public transports outside the main city Require that you use the App to get tickets. the other day I went to a brunch place that wouldn't let me order food without going through the App.

I personally think smartphones have ups and downs, and I won't lie I really like having Small Games in my pocket at all times but the way smartphones have become a necessity/requirement to live in society is so fucking annoying and honestly fucked up.

Cant stop thinking about the words i immediately blurted out at an abortion protestor who asked me what i thought about abortion was "i would get aborted every day if i could" and i just kept on walking

[knownqueerbaiter]

just watched the new dan and phil video and my takeaway impression is mainly that they are so, so generous and forgiving towards their fans. they would be completely justified in clamming up and never saying jack shit to anyone and i think the thoughtfulness and kindness in saying “we know that even for many of the people who were shipping us more aggressively and violating our privacy were just very excited young people who didn’t know the impact they were having on us, and we don’t want anyone to feel bad, so take this as a clean slate” is utterly remarkable

[knownqueerbaiter]

also, the way dan talks about how phil lit up his life about halfway through is one of the most loving things i’ve ever seen. truly. i am so happy for the two of them—that they found each other in the first place, and that they now are at a point where they feel comfortable sharing this

sorry about my constant depressive episodes. its just that i have issues and also problems

[dnphobe]

i'm so happy for them. i hope that this leads to an era where they feel fully free and unafraid and have even more fun with us and eachother than ever before
