    Omg I'm stealing this

    • Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      As you should, just as I stole it from another user, who also likely stole it from another, who surely stole it from the user before them.

      You carry the torch now, and on it shall go for generations, slowly becoming more and more artifacted from re-uploads to the point of being nigh unreadable!

      I am about to find a less cropped version, and I couldn’t help but appreciate Gemini explaining the post:

    Is that because you were English?

  I’m thinking 8 as you could stress the ass or the hole

    Don’t stress the asshole.

      Don’t tell me what to do.

      Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

      You can stress mine, bigboy.

      (You’ll need to take me out for dinner afterwards. Nothing fancy, some fish and chips will do.)

    9 because you could also stress the entirety of asshole

  Crop it slowly.

  7 if you only stress one word, but if you stress two words it gets even better.

    I never said he licked my asshole

    Stress all the words!

• shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Used to think Chinese must be impossible to learn as so much depends on context and very slight “stresses” (forget the word). Now I’m thinking that applies to about any language.

  source

  • NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Tones is the word, and while Chinese tones are hard they're just part of the pronunciation of a word rather than anything context dependent. The English equivalent would be the stressed syllable in a word, and yes every language has something like this.

  • EvilCartyen@feddit.dk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It does, it just depends on how it’s coded. Like, take word order. If you have a case system with nominative, accusative, etc. your word order can be pretty free, you can move objects to the front of the sentence like ‘food-ACC eat I-NOM’.

    Remove the case system and it’s simpler to encode the words, but word order becomes much more fixed.

    All languages are equally complex, in theory at least, but where the complexity lies is different.

• blave@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I’ve definitely said this sentence enough times to know that there are more than seven meanings, especially if you either shout this sentence or whisper it.

• bratorange@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  That fact stresses me immensely.

• db2@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  9, you could monotone it all, and you could make the last word interrogative.

  source
• peoplebeproblems@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Uhm.

  I might be missing something, but when I say it out loud I only get 6. I’m not sure which word I’m not stressing either.

  • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Try saying it louder.

    I never said he licked my asshole. <-- Someone else said it. I never said he licked my asshole. <-- I was accused of having said it; I’ve never said it. I never said he licked me asshole. <-- He licked my asshole, but I didn’t talk about it. I never said he licked my asshole. <-- Someone licked my asshole, but it wasn’t him. I never said he licked my asshole. <-- He did something with my asshole, but it wasn’t licking. I never said he licked my asshole. <-- He licked an asshole, just not mine. I never said he licked my asshole. <-- He licked some part of me, just not my asshole.

    source

    • peoplebeproblems@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It’s never and said that seem to be the identical meaning to me.

    Stressing each word gives a different meaning to the sentence and considering that there are 7 words, it means there are possible 7 meanings if you stress one word.

    source

    • TheLowestStone@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I would argue that stressing “never” or “said” both have the same meaning.

    Take this helpful explanation from Gemini:

  This is funny but it would be better if we weren’t all distracted by the absolute shit picture. I tend to just laugh then downvote this garbage effort whether intentional or not.

• captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  This is why I’m sure spoken English and written English are two different languages. Information is carried through vocal emphasis that the standard alphabet doesn’t contain symbols for. Online we often resort to bold or italics or allcaps, whatever is available.

  source

  • miked@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Very much so. Ever had a misunderstanding while texting someone? The vocal emphasis is missing.
