- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 16 hours ago:
They’re good sandwiches for a bit, but after awhile the lack of substance really gets to you. With the single bread type and an almost complete lack of deli meat (and good toppings like cheese and pickles being scarce) i just really miss sandwich culture
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
Unfortunately rural japan hasn’t really figured out good bread yet so almost all the bread where I live is white bread. Japan is known for a lot of great food but their sandwiches are depressing.

Rice bread is fine. I haven’t had any that tries fancy grains to mimic whole wheat or anything like that, but it’s at least as good as regular white bread.

I am a shrew
I see a leaf
With yummy nectar for a feast
I lick the glue
But I feel funny
I’ve got a rumbly in my tummy
Good, it’s true
It has a hole
Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
And so I poo
I feel no sorrow
I’ll come and lick this plant tomorrow - Comment on Hate it when this happens 2 days ago:

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
At least they usually use 脚 for leg and 足 for foot, even if they’re homophones.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Any languages have both? Like Japanese has ashi(no)yubi [foot('s)finger], and although yubi is technically digit it’s much more common to use it for finger. Then there’s also tsumasaki, literally meaning nailtip (or point, end, head, etc).
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
to me what is really surprising is that some languages found it necessary to use two words to describe what is essentially the same fucking shit.
I mean, you can start calling all sorts of body parts the same shit, and some of them even have words already. Like we say arms and legs, but we could also say upper and lower limbs. We’ve got knees and elbows and shoulders, but they’re all just joints.
Now I’m wondering what languages have the fewest words that could describe the entire body, as in once you break down the word “body” into any number of parts (without using the word “body”, like upper and lower body), how many other words are needed? I think in English you couldn’t get away with anything less than head, neck, torso, and extremities (although one might argue that the latter refers only to hands and feet so you’d have to put limbs back in as well).

It was actually the exact opposite. Could even call it wreckfully

And the people constantly complaining that schools don’t teach critical thinking are the same ones who think English class is worthless. Textual evidence, do you speak it?!
- Comment on I'm definitely giggling 2 weeks ago:
This probably came from a country with transliterations that don’t line up very well in English. Like Japanese doesn’t have an English r, so one of the ways they do it is to elongate a vowel and alarm would become alaamu. But sometimes they have a long vowel with no r, like smoke is sumo-oku.
When they go to write in English it’s not clear whether that long vowel represents an r or not, and they chose to add it in smoke and drop it in alarm. I still run across a smorking room from time to time.

“Hot” is a strange way to describe something without capsaicin. I’d go with sharp, or maybe at a stretch I could possibly see spicy.

You can also make black garlic, and it becomes fairly sweet
