They’re all early 20s, which is the age everyone playing a teen was until the early 2000s. We’ve just finally evolved as viewers.

It’s a US vs UK (and probably others) distinction. The ( ) are almost never called brackets in the US, unless it’s a regional thing I’m not aware of. Also the [ ] didn’t get used in any math classes I was in the US up through calculus except for matrices.

There’s just no way rote learning is easier than mnemonics unless you have a photographic memory.
Shit, I still remember the order of taxonomic ranks after seeing the phrase “King Phillip came over from Germany stoned” written in a used bio textbook 30 years ago when we never even made it to that chapter to officially study in class. I guarantee I never would’ve remembered the list “kingdom phylum class order family genus species”.

I worked part time at my college library for a bit and one of my jobs was called “shelf reading”, where I’d just walk up and down the rows making sure the book numbers were in the right order. It was pretty tedious.

I was at a bbq when an asian giant hornet landed near us. Damn near reconsidered moving the entire setup to get away from it, but eventually it flew off

That looks disturbingly easy to get into, although the first gameplay video I looked up was 4 hours long and the guy spent the majority of it rearranging houses in his town XD
Do you play it?

Feels like the gray wolf isn’t defined enough as a fascist symbol that there’s plenty of latitude for non-fascists to use it. Like if that account is known to use it that way it’s one thing, but otherwise it’s probably just a coincidence. The swastika is the most widely known symbol of hate these days but even now you can go see it on all kinds of temples in Asia, so if even that gets used in a non-nazi way these days surely the gray wolf isn’t only defined as a fascist symbol.

Oh hello again Terraria. Plus I just found out that last year they re-released the first “final update” of the game from 2012 as a beta on steam, basically making it easy to play the old content again. So I’m sure I’ll give that a go this weekend.

The car bomb always sounded like it was referring to the events, but I was surprised to learn much later that the black and tan was also talking about something from history. I just assumed it was the colors of the beers.

Ah interesting, so you pretty much knew all the common ones except kid. I guess it’d be a lot easier in general if English just had an affix for a baby animal. I’ve been trying to learn Japanese because I live in Japan, and they just attach ko- to something to make it a baby (like dog is inu and puppy is koinu).
Although Japanese has its own set of weird naming conventions because you can’t just use numbers to count stuff, and instead you have to say the name of the group the object falls into. Like “one pencil” would be “pencil one long thing” and “one dog” would be “dog one small animal (non-bird/rabbit) thing”.
BTW a kit is a baby fox, beaver, rabbit, squirrel, and a few others.
- Comment on Bä bä, vita lamm har du någon ull? 3 weeks ago:
How common would you say knowing names of baby animals in English are for most Dutch speakers (I’m assuming that’s what you speak because of your instance)? I’m guessing kitten and puppy are pretty common, but what about farm animals like calf, foal, lamb, piglet, or chick? And then you’ve got forest animals like cub, fawn, or kit.

Oh I thought that was the channel making the copyright claim. I just assumed the one terminated was named enderman.
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 3 weeks ago:
I dunno anything about Enderman but I looked up the Japanese channel out of curiosity. Looks like there are some videos related to some kind of game called Star Rail and there are channels with スターレイル in the title, but I can’t find a channel specifically called 棺のスターレイル遊び (which means something like “play coffin’s star rail”)

Yep, !sumo@lemmy.world
I think Aonishiki will continue to do well, and hopefully his countryman Shishi finds some more solid footing for himself soon. Also Kusano smashed his way up the ranks so fast they already changed his name to Yoshinofuji. Fujinokawa is looking ok for a newcomer too, just not quite as good.
I hope Hoshoryu can stay healthy for a few basho in a row, as Onosato needs someone to check his power. Having only one ozeki right now doesn’t help either.
Takayasu on the other hand I’d guess is pretty much done. He’ll still put up some wins for awhile, but I think the playoff back in March was his last shot at a yusho. I remember checking into winners older than 35 and there was only the smallest handful of guys who pulled it off.
Dunno about Kotoeiho but I’m hoping Takerufuji can get his shit together. It’ll be disappointing if his historic win last year isn’t followed by an exciting career.
