- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 2 days ago:
You're the only one to comment with the accent of a people of color. You read my comment and then picked an African animal and gave it the accent of one of the African countries where it lived.
Congratulations for proving me wrong after being aware of my comment. But your entry wasn't at all funny or enlightening, so we all lose.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 3 days ago:
It was a prediction. We need to wait for the evidence.
So far groups mentioned have been Aussie, Brit, French, Italian, and Russian. At the time I made my comment it was Aussie and Italian only.

This encourages racist responses, but no one will notice until a people of color are involved.

Pigeons would speak a pidgin language, obviously.
- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 5 days ago:
Santa lives at the North Pole. He has to dress warmly. 2/3 of Earth's population lives north of the equator. Santa has to dress for the majority of the people he will visit as he doesn't have time to change clothes. Santa's helpers in malls are like stunt doubles. They have to dress like Santa dresses.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 1 week ago:
If she lives in a patriarchal society, then the culture doesn't allow her to truly consent to giving up her milk for anyone but her own consumption, and that's assuming she doesn't do work or volunteering that somehow furthers the patriarchy.
Or something unhinged like that.
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 1 week ago:
You just need a humanoid robot with the latest AI. Then you explain what you want it to do, and if it doesn't murder you or make you its slave, you might be alright.

Water naturally spreads out equally on such a surface
You've forgotten about tides.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 2 weeks ago:
I see now I read the opposite of what is written (people would treat each with dignity without religion).
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 2 weeks ago:
There are some obvious historical counterexamples.

It's a popular but inferior alternative to Mbin.
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 2 weeks ago:
What if you have had countless complaints and a few restraining orders, are you supposed to lie or not?
- Comment on [USA] Is "there are ICE agents roaming the streets" a good reason/excuse to avoid going outside? Or is it just a part of reality that you have to learn to accept? 3 weeks ago:
What the heck is this? A person who thinks their small business will survive the economic climate ahead is a moron?
- Comment on Why is it "shower thoughts" and not "shitter thoughts"? 4 weeks ago:
You're taking too long in the shower. Think about water conservation.

Did anyone else read the title and then get surprised that the author is not who they thought it would be?
You have my sympathies, OP.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 weeks ago:
Under capitalism, companies do what their owners want them to do. The owners can choose to try to grow, to shrink, to sell, or to close.
Publicly owned companies have shareholders, and the shareholders usually want the company to grow so their investment grows. Shareholders can have other values, but anyone can become a shareholder.
Under non-capitalist systems, the government might own some or all companies. Then the companies do whatever the party in power wants. The party in power probably doesn't have time to run all the companies, so they give some level of independence. They can reign that back whenever they like.
The most common motivation in non-capitalist systems is probably greed and growing personal wealth of party leaders via corruption under that system. Luckily, the people can vote in a different party and/or protest against party corruption except in all real-world cases, where that is banned or suppressed.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 5 weeks ago:
In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, "pussy" is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to "bitch."
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on [META] Community discussion regarding AI & clickbait 1 month ago:
I clicked your link purportedly to a picture of q woman with large boobs, and it just turned out to be Cameron Diaz. Since Diaz is approximately a B cup (US sizing), that was definitely clickbait.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 1 month ago:
This is a just a correction, but it seems fitting on a post about language and learning languages.
"Half" is the noun you are looking for. "Halve" sounds slightly different and means "to split in half."
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 1 month ago:
What a bizarre sub-thread.
OC says generations (plural) before had the same access as Gen Z. Presuming that to mean as kids, that's clearly not true.
Someone steps in to write that people on the border of Gen Z and the generation (singular) before it had similar access. Useful to learn, but not groundbreaking.
Commenter points out that that's not very different and gets insulted.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 1 month ago:
When young? No. Unless you count the Sears catalog.
