Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct is a famously great, engaging, and approachable introduction to the field of linguistics for anyone interested.

Everyone who actually buys a Switch 2 deserves exactly what they get.

This is one of those comics that feels like there's a real story behind it.

No money for tankie admins.

TIL the term 'blockbuster' came from a time when blocks of ice in front of a fan were used to cool movie audiences. A large audience required more cooling thus "busting" the block of ice. in c/til@lemmy.world

This is called a "folk etymology". Great story, but completely false.

Goku's hair doesn't all go straight up like that except when he's Super Saiyan, and when he is Super Saiyan, his hair is wider/longer than that. Also, you can see Gohan's characteristic hair curl at the front of his head.

Basically, hair looks like Goku's SSJ hair but black and significantly shorter, and a curl at the front of the head. This is 100% Gohan.

That's Gohan, not Goku. Still no chance of Tien doing that to him, of course.

That's Gohan. Tien still wouldn't stand a chance though.

there's no h in ῥυθμός

Not acknowledging that that rough breathing mark is an "h" is the real Anglo colonialism here.

Might be low hanging fruit, but I just got banned from memes.ml for saying what instance it's in. (sh.itjust.works)

The post in question, if interested:

Also, I don't know how to see which mod/admin banned me, so if you know how to in the modlog, definitely let me know.

Banned for 7 days, so I'm not super mad or anything - I just thought it was funny.

Honestly I don't blame them - I'd be embarrassed about people finding out my community was on .ml too.

TIL it's against the rules to mention what instance it is (sh.itjust.works)

The comment in question:

"To everyone arriving here from /all, remember that this is a .ml community when you attempt to engage in good faith."

Edit: Sorry for the double post - I just got back after being gone all day and didn't realize someone else had made a post about my comment! There's a bit of discussion here so I was going to leave it, but if the mods would rather delete it, feel free!
