This is also unironically a good way to get more comfortable spontaneously speaking a language you're learning. Don't know the word for refrigerator? Cold food box. Don't know how to say yawn? Tired sound. Etc. You'll be more or less understandable and people will probably tell you the word you need when they figure out what you mean.

[-] aaaa@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Well if the language is German, there's probably an 80% chance that you get the right word this way

The word for that is "noggin".

This is very good help do things words.

It is also the only way to speak in Toki Pona

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Toki Pona is overdoing it, but it's also how Esperanto is doing it: fridujo = cold-container. Also German, now you're mentioning it: Kühlschrank = cold-cabinet.

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Toki! Sina pilin seme?

Yep. I don't speak Spanish. Learned all my extremely limited Spanish in restaurant kitchens. When I walk my dogs, and one of the many Spanish speaking Mexicans that lives nearby looks nervous, I tell them, "Perro es bueno por hombre. Perro es no bueno por otra Perro." They understand what I mean even though I just butchered that sentence.

A vanilla mocha latte with soy milk is just a 4-bean soup

[-] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Drink it from a cup made of soy paper and you’re still just holding beans.

[-] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

A computer is just a really hot pile of sand.

A human brain is just anxiety meat!

Roanoke gaming is the guy I heard refer to human brains as "anxiety meat"

[-] Abnorc@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

Electronics are just sparky silicon.

[-] uberrice@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

The way transistors and integrated circuits are made is called lithography. Stone scribing. If you describe it that way, electricity sounds like magic.

[-] mcmoor@bookwormstory.social 3 points 1 year ago

Magic circle transcribed in nano meter scale sounds even more magical than the magic itself

Gas is just dinosaur breath.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Gas is mostly derived from bacteria. Something like 10% is from multicellular organisms. Carbon based bacteria was around exponentially longer and made up more biomass
