  Took about 10 seconds to search ‘able to clone him comic’ to get the version that isn’t cropped so the artist actually gets recognition.

    Since it only took you 10 seconds to do this, then it also takes anyone curious who made the comic 10 seconds. Why would the OP bother?

      Well first, their image is degraded from making the social media loop and getting screenshotted so many times. Second, I’m a firm believer if you’re going to post somebody else’s work then you should at least credit them. Third, the next time this image makes the social media loop it has better quality and the attribution again.

  I had only seen the word “tarot” in balatro until an NYT connections game that had it in the “words with silent letters” category

    I’m sort of nerdy about language and that little thing always fascinates me

    Many years ago I saw a TIFU on reddit about a person who mispronounced “banal” while on a call with many people. I will always be grateful to that person’s fuck up for correcting my mental pronunciation of that word, lol.

    I used to think "pear" sounded the same as "pier". Same goes for "tear" and "tear".

  Now I want to pronounce blown like clown.

    I misread your comment and thought of pronouncing brown like clone.
