As a person who grew up in Ireland since I was 5: this is funny to me

I moved to quay.io years ago and have never looked back.

I can’t go to sleep if I don’t set an alarm, due to worrying about oversleeping lol

I got an oral b toothbrush (primary selling point for me, was the pressure sensor that alerts you if you’re pressing too hard against your teeth, I think I paid around €150 for it back then), well over 8 years ago, and it’s still going strong. The battery still easily holds a week’s charge too, which is great for holidays

But the idea of an indicator is to indicate that you will soon turn the steering wheel, not that you’ve already started to turn it.

It’s hilarious to me, that “safety first” is written second

We can easily stop having children then

Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn’t understand what the “ladder point” was referring to, but now I understand them!

Languages are fun :)

I noticed how many of the verbs in English can mean different things depending on what word comes next, e.g.

• Put
• Put down
• Put up
• Put upon
• Put on (wear)

English has so many words that mean the same thing, it’s amazing, astonishing, bewildering and flabbergasting, there was a thief, mugger, robber, bandit… Who stole, robbed, nicked, thieved from me… I don’t know how anyone ever learns all the English words for stuff, I honestly don’t know how I have.

It also made me reflect on how languages are just noises we’ve all agreed to make at each other. The rules try to match the language and fail, not the other way around.

Recently I was also thinking about how interesting it is that some words we use are SO OLD, and we just… use them like it’s no big deal, but if we we’re transported back thousands of years, people were still calling vanilla something very similar to vanilla and arteries something very similar to arteries, and that is super cool to me.

I was essentially certain that this meant: “their face when”

Or to quote Terry Pratchett:

Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

Yeah, it did suck. It is much much better now though. I genuinely enjoy it at the moment.

I’m sorry to correct you, but it’s actually nipped in the bud. I’d hate for you to use that in public and get egg on your plate.

I know this is completely unrelated, but I think I’d actually find it impossible to get to 11:50 in the day with only 7 steps. That’s a one way trip to the toilet…
