  it’s not a particularly long post; if you’re really confident in the veracity of the narrative you’re familiar with then you shouldn’t need to be afraid to read something that contradicts it.

  (and btw, neither of the two posts i linked claims nothing happened there.)

  Due to the Norwegian language conflict there have been various competing forms of written Norwegian over time, two of which have been officially recognized as equally valid by the Norwegian parliament since 1885. Both apparently changed their spelling of “slut” to “sludd” in the 21st century, Bokmål in 2005 and Nynorsk in 2012, presumably in an effort to encourage English speakers to make jokes about Swedes and Danes instead of them.

  A comic showing a man is eating at a sushi bar. Behind the counter there is a sushi chef standing next to a giant squid who is also wearing a chef’s cap. The caption is: “He feels he can do more good working within the system”.

The logo for the early 20th century IRC client “X-Chat” (an X filled with a yellow to red gradient, with the word “chat” in white text in front of it) is superimposed over his chest.

  imo the pejorative connotation of that word is (like many expressions of homophobia) ultimately rooted in misogyny

  i am reporting this post for promulgating misinformation. this meme has some truth in it, in that these six vegetables are all brassica oleracea. but, the factoid in the center of the meme is false: brassica oleracea can be many things but (despite brassicaceae being “the mustard and cabbage family”) brassica oleracea is NOT actually ever called “wild mustard plant”.

  The campaign hasn’t made any progress since 2011 when Wolfram Alpha added support for it, a year after Google did. Google’s calculator still does support it, though, so you can write queries like like “1Zbit/s * 1 year in hellabytes” (3.9 hellabytes), or “mass of the earth in hellagrams” (5.9 hellagrams).

  screenshot of the film The Big Lebowski, with Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski sitting on the toilet while one of Jackie Treehorn’s thugs (Mark Pellegrino) holds a bowling ball. The subtitle reads “Obviously you’re not a golfer” but “a golfer” is covered by impact outline meme text saying “using base-six numbers”.

  this will become true in just a couple of years from now, assuming you represent age as a base-six number. (4*6+5 == 2027-1998)
