i was very excited during class when i suddenly realized this comic translates beautifully into chinese
the explanation here being:
allo? - hello?
a l'eau - water?
谁呀？- shei ya? who is it?
水呀？- shui ya? water?
It’s even funnier if you know that in french that type of showerhead is called a “Telephone shower”. ^_^
After I reblogged this I realised that it works in te reo Māori too.
Ko wai tēnei = Who is this but also This is water
Please add to this, I want it to turn out that this works for every language on earth except English.
This is so stupid I can't even begin to fathom it
So Twitter is not a public site anymore. I hope every public figure stop using it ASAP.
Wait I realized this Twitter rate limiting thing happened literally the same day as the Reddit 3rd party app shut downs. Wonder how many of those users have come here today to this Luigi Wins By Doing Nothing Ass website
One day you will wake up and think to yourself “m,mm I’m cozy” and then you will go back to bed and rest.
This i swear even if it kills me
twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right
My most referenced meme is actually this sign from a furniture store's going out of business sale in my hometown.
reddit is dying twitter is dying tumblr is next as people move over here in response and the corporate side of the company starts drooling at the prospect of EVEN MORE MONEY so they make staff change the website to be shittier and more like the dying websites. whats next? fireside gathering at my house where we pass the posting stick around that indicates youre allowed to make a post with words that come out of your mouth
when i was a kid I was really bad (or really good depending on your definition) at hidden object games. which is to say that I would not specifically search for the objects the book asked me to look for. no. that would make no sense. what i instead did was open a spreadsheet
i then proceeded to list every single object in the image in my excel spreadsheet, highlighting the objects the book asked me to find in red as i went. Then, by the end, not only had i found the objects, I had also found and categorized all of the other objects as well. This way, if anyone asked me to find any other objects in that image, i was fully prepared
on an unrelated note i was diagnosed as autistic before third grade
You used the letter a 46 times!!
And 555 letters, so the letter a is about 8.29%
The letter a is on average used about 8.2% of the time, which means you used it more than average!! :)
a-counter you are my best friend and greatest ally
Hello helpful mathematician here with an additional fun fact. Having 8.29% a's instead of 8.2% a's is only having 1 more a than would be expected in a 555 letter text. I think you should feel free to choose to believe the bonus a was the a in autistic. I think it would be fun.
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
Mother cats pretending to be scared of their pouncing babies is something I never tire of.
boing!
