Heard it first after moving to the South, it’s absolutely regional.
Like saying dreiviertel Elf for 10:45 or Teppich for Decke or Fuß for the entire leg.

Fish is not a valid cladistic term. Birds are reptiles in the same way that people are vertebrates would be about equivalent and correct.
- Comment on Anish Kapoor 1 week ago:
Explanation for the people out of the loop:
Anish Kapoor has secured the exclusive rights to Vantablack in Art, meaning other artists are not allowed to use it.
He was critizised heavily by painter Stuart Semple, who told Kapoor to #ShareTheBlack. Semple in turn created the “world’s pinkest pink,” alongside the “world’s most glittering glitter.” And the license for those state that both can be purchased by anyone in the world, except Anish Kapoor.

Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.
Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.
Bird cladistics is wild!

This happened to me too, not because she was nagging and shit like that, but because I started to feel good about myself, like myself even and became more confident and so I started to take care of myself.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 1 month ago:
And with juuuuust a tiny bit more sugar so the bacteria in your mouth can create more acid to bathe your teeth in way longer than the water remains in your mouth, nice.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 1 month ago:
The level of pH difference we’re talking about here is negligible. You’re constantly bathing your teeth in your (slightly acidic) spit and swallowing your spit all the time, the very few moments your teeth come into contact with slightly more alkaline water have no lasting influence. Plain tap-water (also slightly alkaline with a pH of ~7.5 in most of the US) would have the very same effect.
Brushing your teeth after a meal and abstaining from sugary drinks is where the difference is at, Everything else is talking about if Mount Everest is higher when you place a grain of sand on top… technically yes, but no.
- Comment on Coal Miners With Black Lung Say They Are ‘Cast Aside to Die’ Under Trump 2 months ago:
When Trump says he’s a friend to miners, he’s just keepung them quiet while selling them out to the big mining corps and damaging renewables for the big oil companies.
When he says he’s a friend to farmers, he’s just keeping them quiet while selling them out to argentinian fascists and the big agro-corps.
When you are working class, Trump was never your friend, the republicans aren’t your friends and the industry is not providing jobs for but exploiting you.

- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 3 months ago:
Charlie Kirk wears a lot of the blame for the existence of guys like the jubilee fascists, he was a perpetrator of stochastic terrorism and increasing right-wing extremism.
I’m not saying he deserved to be shot, but he did not want and doesn’t get any empathy from me.

- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 5 months ago:
I’m not a doctor, just a curious guy with an equally curious girlfriend and since we like to be informed we’ve read up on stuff. Also I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so I know a little bit about that. But if you have serious questions don’t ask me, ask a medical professional.
Having said that, that clear, slimy butt-juice is called mucus, it’s what’s coating your colon and just a little bit of slimy mucus in your stool is normal.
Large amounts of clear(ish) stool could be something a doctor should look into.
- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 5 months ago:
Yes, the need to defecate is (mostly) governed by the rectal walls stretching.
- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 5 months ago:
So, behind your anus, there is your rectum, it’s a chamber that is usually empty, only if the colon is too full or shortly before you defecate does it get filled with stool.
Normal farts are gas coming from your colon and filling your rectum like a balloon, when you fart all that pressure is released and because the rectum is usually empty, only gas escapes.
But when you do have stool in your rectum… for example because your colon is overflowing into it or because the consistency of your stool is too fluid to be held back from the rectum, then that depressurization will push out with it the other content of your ass, straight into your underpants.
This is btw. how anal-sex is usually cleaner than people imagine it to be, because the rectum is empty (mostly) clean.
Still… wash your hands/dick/toy before touching anyone, anything or anywhere else. Generally be hygienic guys.

This is Tiffany, walking back home. Start with the boots. They are big and heavy boots, much repaired by her father and they’d belonged to various sisters before her; she wore several pairs of socks to keep them on. They are big. Tiffany sometimes feels she is nothing more than a way of moving boots around.
Then there is the dress. it has been owned by many sisters before her and has been taken up, taken out, taken down and taken in by her mother so many times that it really ought to have been taken away.
A few pages later
She ran out of her hiding place with the frying pan swinging like a bat. The screaming monster, leaping out of the water, met the frying pan coming the other way with a clang.
It was a good clang, with the oiyoiyoiyoioioioioinnnnnnggggg that is the mark of a clang well done.

And Corporal Nobbs… well, anyone like Nobby had unlimited reasons for not wishing to be seen by other people. You didn’t have to think hard about that. The only reason you couldn’t say that Nobby was close to the animal kingdom was that the animal kingdom would get up and walk away.

Accurate but also not. PewDiePie came out in favour and PirateSoftware lied about it. But I think Thor lying created a huge burst of coverage about how he’s wrong and really created lots of noise about it.
