It seems you dropped your meme in piss.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen Breaking Bad. This is just what the memes look like in Mexico.

Redshift like screen reddening = piss filter

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If that is the case, then you're using the wrong filter. I've used practically every one of them available and I've never run into that issue.

It's also been telling you "NO", though..

Community note: the alphabet has not been telling you to “ST*U” but that would be funny

The post was clearly written sometime in the 14th century when the UU digraph had become widespread but the U-V distinction had not. No wonder it is so yellowed, I'd say it's actually in great condition for its age

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

It might have been dabbed with a used teabag to give the impression that's it's older than it is

Why do people say double "U" when they mean a double "V"?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There was no distinction between V and U when W first started being used. They were considered the same letter, with V just being the style for writing it at the start of words (like that long S that looks like an f). So you would write "have" as haue and "upon" as vpon.

When it was representing a consonant in classical Latin, it sounded like a modern English W. So the famous veni vidi vici - I came, I saw, I conquered - was pronounced more like wenee weedee weekee.

Eventually the V sound started to emerge in some places where Latin and its descendants had used that W sound before, and people started treating the two forms as different letters. By this point the W was already in widespread use, though, so whatever people already called it had a good chance of sticking

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

The implications for Latin had escaped me until you pointed them out.

That's amazing, and I demand the public be aware of wenee weedee weekee.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

In Finnish and probably bunch of other languages it's "double v"

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

I speak cursive.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

In French (and no doubt countless other languages) it is 'double v'. So to answer your question: The English language is flawed and for most people, it's too jarring to correct it

[–] MagisterSieran@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

W is not double anything in German.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

French, not German

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

And all the vowels and consonants will look up and shout "Hi" and I'll look down and whisper "No."

Thank god for Lemmy, there's a huge lack of alphabet mnemonics out there.
