There are apparently T-shirts which read “don’t shoot, I’m Canadian” in a number of languages (Arabic, Russian and Spanish, I think)

Safety ads in the 70s went hard. Nobody worried that kids might be traumatised, and some probably were

Presumably it started as chemistry done badly, and did come up with some discoveries, but as the scientific method got refined and principles were uncovered that didn’t correlate to celestial bodies or folklore, it diverged from the practical and became metaphorical. A bit like Freemasonry starting with stonemasons’ guilds and then gentrifying.
- Comment on Revealed: Shop where Glasgow fire started had not registered to sell vapes or paid business taxes 4 days ago:
Presumably by the time the company tax deadline passed, the company would have gone bankrupt, and been replaced by an identical newly-registered company with the old company’s owner’s cousin as managing director, selling the same stock of vapes/American candy/counterfeit labobos without a day’s downtime.

There’s also the effect of psychoactive drugs. Cannabis is correlated with an affinity for heavy bass (think reggae and dub), and apparently cocaine can cause sound engineers to push the treble up, resulting in a harsh, brittle mix.

In modern America, smiling is normalised in a way that’s an outlier among human cultures. If someone in Russia smiled as much as the typical American, they’d be regarded as a simpleton, too feeble-minded to have an understanding of the world.

Some of your distant ancestors, from long before modern European ethnic groups formed, were of a lineage more likely to eventually end up in Spain than Scandinavia, though you inherited from the minority.
- Comment on i have a fantasy of marrying a divorced dad and being the young cool stepmom 6 days ago:
Presumably it depends on the men having kids from a previous (or soon-to-be-previous) relationship, so if you’re one of those childless weirdos, you may need to make up a child, like in that Nick Hornby novel.

- Comment on Anon likes Mario 1 week ago:
When consoles were less powerful, all spaces were liminal, and as nobody expected anything else, none were. Now, the fact that it’s not bustling with photorealistic NPCs feels spooky and unsettling (along with the historical details, which feel creepy in the way that vaporwave makes you feel)

- Comment on ard 1 week ago:
“-ard” would mean not so much “excessively” as “by their/its nature”; i.e. a seed/condiment whose very nature is mustiness, a person conceived out of wedlock (which was considered a black mark on one’s character back then), one who is habitually drunk, and so on

But if you don’t take their human skin, what does the transformation back look like? I’m imagining the somewhat absurd scene of a werewolf anxiously arranging its tattered human skin around itself with its rough paws for the magic to do its stuff.

Do they need to find it and put it back on to transform back, or does that involve them shedding their wolf pelt and emerging in human form from within it?

My impression is that the werewolf transformation is entirely magical and not governed by real-world effects: one moment, the moon is out and you suddenly grow fur, a snout and uncontrollable predatory instincts, and when it’s over, the fur recedes/disappears, your facial geometry is restored and you just feel inexplicably tired. It’s conceivable that you’d shed some hair, which presumably wouldn’t magically vanish once it’s not attached to you, though.
As for vampires, I thought they just used their incisors to puncture their victims and then just sucked their blood out. Their teeth being plumbed into a vacuum pump seems somewhat too complicated.
