If anyone’s interested, languages follow similar differentiation patterns as species in evolution. Ways this occurs include: allopatric (barrier separates past equivalents), peripatric (migration), and sympatric (subcultures), etc.

It’s the same reason Matthew Rhys can do a spot-on American accent despite having an outrageous Welsh accent irl: people are more likely to grow up on the media of more mainstream languge so it becomes the lingua franca. (love Rhys to clarify)

Plus don’t forget they continuously cycle heat away from their skin & extremities via the magic of countercurrent exchange. 🌈

That is not at all entailed by my comment.

That’s the founder of MS13 right there.

Whoa! I was gonna ask which dogs would be more likely to have autism if that were possible. Instead, after some quick research it turns out there is a controversial and debated analog to autism in dogs termed CDB (canine dysfunctional behavior) that can include symptoms such as repetitive/compulsive behaviors, social challenges, heightened sensory sensitivities, and difficulty with changes in routine.

Bull terriers apparently are the breed which exhibit the most CDB-like symptoms. However, the breeds that are recommended to match with autistic humans are ones that are more predictable, gentle, calm, and friendly (e.g. labs, goldens, etc).

To those curious: Because some morel mushrooms can form a symbiotic relationship with sweet corn. (I had to look it up.)

PsychoWiz once told me that the scientific names of organisms are just letters and sounds, and have no bearing on physical traits or where the species was found. They hate linguistics and call it witchcraft.

Since when has competition ever spurred innovation? Pff

Descriptive language grammar >> prescriptive language grammar

Was looking for this comment. 👏

The only one of mine I can remember was a mashup of the series Heroes and lemonparty. Highbrow stuff. It is where I learned all my editing skills tho. hehe

The first big meme competition I ever got excited about was back over on ytmnd[dot]com, whose name origin was of course Sean Connery in Finding Forrester inexplicably shouting, “You’re the man now, dawg!”

The quintessential example of this category: the pointless, yet hilarious improv comedy podcast recapping all 431 episodes of the 1960s series Bonanza: Bonanas for Bonanza ← YouTube explanation on Conan O’Brien Feeds a Friend (sic).

I was hesitant to jump in despite loving Daly and Gourley, since I couldn’t give two sh¡ts about the show. But the show is not at all the point. It’s merely the premise that keeps the train on its tracks. So maybe it’s just the most ironic example of this category.

The macroeconomics over welfare economics bias is strong.

Ah, thank you! 🙌 I guess just based on all the interrupting crowd in Happy Gilmore I connected him with that movie. Thanks for clearing that up.

Evidence that may contradict your claim is that the average worldwide IQ increases by 3 points every 10 years. So the species appears to slowly be getting smarter. Dumbness may just be more noteworthy in our culture.

Agree to misagree. I think it’s a little funny to defend her name and then pull the rug out when describing how it’s appropriating an unexpected culture. I celebrate our differences.

And unless I’m mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin (RIP)'s daughter. And her name Bindi isn’t a cultural appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it’s a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for “Little Girl” which they appropriated.

Was gonna comment you misspelled SOAP 🧼, but just in case I did a quick joojle and it actually turns out it’s “Android Open Source Project” (for any other newbs like me reading this).

“One is my name. The other is not.”
