  G approximate varies upon regional dialect (annoying, I know first hand as a multinational Arab)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨que⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be قمبو (gulf) or جمبو (Egypt) as well.

  (For non Arabic speakers, hard G does not natively exist in Arabic and different dialects use a different letter to denote a hard G, a lot of the time contextually)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨que⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually he’s asking for a jumbo (large) mouse, funny cause in Arabic you literally read that as ‘jambo’

  Thank you for reading and enjoying! Yeah the great thing is that most of the ridiculous things in that menu have similar explanations, some are complete nonsense though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I always order Popular Problem.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad to be! Got that “why bother no one’s gonna read this anyway” feeling halfway through the comment but then remembered I wasn’t on reddit anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I always order Popular Problem.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I speak Arabic and it’s not so much misspelling as like, lack of sufficient punctuation. Then that is directly thrown into a translator. I’ll use the word مشكل as an example and try to explain why the menu says ‘Tuna is a problem’. As letters, from right to left, they are l:

  m - م (the first letter on the right) sh - ش k - ك L - ل (last letter on the left)

  I know those standalone letters look different but that’s how they are when they’re not conjoined to other letters.

  Anyway the problem is that that word can be read multiple ways because a lot of the vowels in Arabic come from small modifiers that no one can be bothered to type out because we know how to infer the pronunciations in context. So let’s get into the conflation of the word here. Without any vowels, theoretically the word can be read as mshkl. One way to read the word مشكل can be MuSHaKKal, and with the modifiers it would look like so:

  مُشَكْل

  It’s not easy to see but the first 3 letters have modifiers that make them be pronounced as ‘Mu’, ‘Sha’, ‘K~’, ‘Al’. Pronouncing the word this way means ‘mixed’ i.e. the dish being served is Mixed Tuna AKA Tuna salad.

  Now without the modifiers the word can be read as: مشكِل

  Now theres no modifier on the second letter so it kind of just blends into the first, becoming pronounced as ‘Mush’, ‘Kill’, or ‘mash’, ‘kal’. This word literally translates to ‘problem’. And with if you just put a noun before problem, it makes sense grammatically to infer that the noun is the problem. Ergo,

  “Tuna is a problem”. Also known as Tuna salad.

  Elden ring came out February 2022 anyway dude

  It absolutely was close to top of the list. It’s basically between bg3, totk, and Alan Wake. All wildly different games and personally I enjoy mechanics focused games so fore totk was the top, sure I’m not the only one

  Agreed but zombies make it too easy for shit writing to succeed. Zombies are slow, fast, smart, brainless, loud, quiet, strong, weak, all at the plot’s convenience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Zombie media is trash in general. If you’re a shit writer, zombies are for you. Not surprised when that’s the main selling point.

  In the pan itself sure, but there’s a lot of difference in the handle & weight between cheap and fancy though. All of my cheap ass nonsticks have had the plastic handles fall off before they start peeling
