  I will only ever accept this theory. It is my Flat Earth, except no one can prove me wrong casually with a lake and a flashlight. I will repeat this to other people unprompted.

  Second one.

  Move to Jamaica, no one cares.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not being passive at all.

  First off, the remark about French and 92 is a jab at French in particular. No other romance language for some reason stalls out at 70 and cobbles together the 80s and 90s. There is a modern word, IIRC “neufant” or something that’s closer to “nine tens.”

  To your point, base 10 counting, which we use because of how many fingers our species has. Whether we use base 8, 10, 12, etc. counting, the fact remains that all counting uses incremental increases like base 10.

  9 rolls over to 1 unit in the 10s column. 19 rolls over to 2 units in the 10s column.

  So if we say “4 x 20” instead of 80, were suddenly creating a second, nested, base 20 counting system (confusingly, using base 10 numbers!) within our usual base 10 system. So it’s the same in the sense that we are using numbers in general, but different in that it anchors the counting base in a weird way.

  Let’s say I run a restaraunt and make omlettes. I can make a 2 egg, 3 egg, or 4 egg omlette for you. But the 4 egg omlette is tiny. Why? Because for the 4 egg omlette I use quail eggs. But only for the 4 and 5 egg omlettes. Order a 6 egg omlette and you’re getting a half dozen chicken eggs in some 100 square meter omlette. Multiples of 4 and 5, always quail eggs. It’s sort of like that.

  Congratulations. You’ve just discovered how base 10 counting works.

  It’s a Google Translate issue. It says some version of prst nogi/noši for every Slavic language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so Albanian and Greek are the outliers here. Albanian is it’s own language group.

  Though, to be fair to Greek, the word is for toe and finger is δάχτυλο. Dachtylo. Which is kind of like “digit.” Even in Koine Greek. Also, arm and hand are the same word, and leg and foot are the same word.

  My Greek isn’t good enough to say for sure, but a pre-Google language manuals call both finger and toe dachtylo. Then specify hand or foot. Or…specify arm or leg? Arm digit? Leg digit?

  Greece should be a grey “N/A”

  The same language where ninety-two is “four twenties and a twelve”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing to see here folks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stahhhp!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing to see here folks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, and I realize that at a rational level. This isn’t a dig on you, you didn’t buy and sell children for $1,000.

  But it just hit me all at once as a kind of entirely tragic thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing to see here folks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oofda. Like, this is a quality shit post, but wow. Are we all so jaded about pedos running the country that we’re dong baby corn memes?

  Sorry, maybe I’m not 4Chan enough to laugh since there are real victims in all this.

  To be fair, neither are reindeer IRL.

  Santa’s sleigh should be pulled by 8 murderous polar bears.

  Plants have an amazing variety of ways to defend themselves. Thorns. Chemical warfare. Being really fucking big.

  You think plants spent 1.2 billion years on earth and didnt adapt to predation?

  Ok, well, if I eat butter, I will be more delicious to bears and wolves. Doesn’t make butter somehow a problem.
