Another attempt at the voxel physics idea where voxels rejoin the grid. They now join over time once slow enough, and lerp into position

@_SatanWatch One year when my sister and I were sleeping in my Grandparents' basement, we saw a shadow of an old lady on a rocking chair knitting. Spooked the hell out of us two until our mom came in and showed us that the pile of stuff on a rocking chair by the lamp made the perfect shadow.

I love the "early childhood memory" genre of paranormal story because it shows that children inhabit a different dimension. They interpret events so differently than adults and it's impossible to know what they really witnessed, yet it left a lifelong impact. This is a good one.

@morayross @Szabadsag1956 Pearse agreed with the wider world that the Wright Brothers had preeminence on inventing the airplane because they were the first to actually have successful flights. (Pearse's monoplane crashed into a hedge) His own self acknowledged success happened in 1904, after the Wrights.
English
@Szabadsag1956 No 3 is debated - Richard Pearse did a powered take-off 31 March 1903 - 9 mths before Wright Bros - but being a self-effacing Kiwi credited the Wrights due to their better sustained & controlled flight. Pearse had an undercarriage with nose wheel, & ailerons- ahead of their time.

I'm now going to kick a hornet's nest:
1. The Moon Landings happened
2. The Earth is round (or rather, an oblate spheroid)
3. The Wright Brothers made the first airplane flight

@ManaByte Let’s see the unedited clip, then .. post it and tag me in it …
I’m waiting !!
If you refuse or ignore I’m sure it’s a lie !!

People keep sharing that Buzz Aldrin clip like it’s some secret confession. It isn’t. The video is cut to remove the part where he explains he’s talking to a kid who asked why we haven’t gone back recently. Buzz says “we didn’t go” in the context of current missions, not Apollo. The full clip makes that obvious.
Conspiracy accounts chop out the setup, strip away the question, and pretend he’s admitting the Moon landing was fake. He isn’t. Buzz has spent 50 years talking about walking on the Moon, testifying before Congress, doing engineering talks, and advocating for Mars missions.
The “hoax confession” only exists in the edit. The moment you watch the full exchange, the conspiracy version falls apart.

@GooseworxMusic I should try that next time! I usually just put a pencil in my mouth as far back as my cheeks allow, bite down with my molars, and drink a glass of water.

I hate that the only way I can get rid of hiccups is by stripping completely nude and running around in public screaming at people.

@grahamscheper bird the word and bird the animal are both clearly more bouba than kiki so it makes sense we'd intuit the bouba-directional bird than the kiki-directional brid.
English
Several words in English are only pronounced the way they are nowadays because a ‘mispronunciation’ became standard.
The word “bird” is a great example; it used to be “brid”, with the /r/ before the /i/, but because of a common tendency to switch sounds around (called metathesis), people started saying “bird” instead.
You can imagine a 15th century teacher correcting their students on this pronunciation: “It’s not /bird/, it’s/brid/!” Clearly, their efforts were in vain, as now we all ‘mispronounce’ it.
English
@BlueEyesWM it means the latter because so many of you misuse it. in the same way literally now means not literally.

being both peruvian and a lover of strong women i always twitch when people say "amazonian" when they clearly mean "amazon"

Im tired of all the "body builder guy to waifish woman" transition timelines. Where are the "twink dude to amazonian goddess" timelines?
English
@polypocketknife Amazonian means both of the Amazon and like an Amazon. It's not one or the other.
English
@BlueEyesWM “amazonian” is of the amazon rainforest and eponymous river. for example, the shuar are one of over 300 indigenous amazonian ethnic groups

@KathAntonio7 @samtihero Nope. They are simply using a wrong name. The country called "Turkey" isnt on maps and isnt in the charter of countries of UN. You can cope about it. But go ahead send a mail to "Turkey" and see if it arrives in Türkiye.
English
No but you do say Germany rather than West Germany and The Netherlands rather than Holland. Turkiye is not just the native way to say the country it is now the official English name of the country.
〽️ikey@michaeI11_
No lol, we don’t say Deutschland and we don’t say Nippon.

@pswayne7 @michaeI11_ Try asking the average American to type a diaeresis
English
@michaeI11_ Well if Germany or Japan ever turn around and formally request their name in English to be that then we will. But they haven’t. Türkiye did. It truly costs you nothing to just use a different name you’re being obtuse for the sake of it
English
@toastini_ @michaeI11_ It actually is significantly different since it uses a symbol not found on an American keyboard. The vast majority of Americans never need to use alt codes for symbols.
English
@michaeI11_ The difference is it’s still basically pronounced the same it’s just a spelling difference. No need to be so hard headed mate

@MaindreTheFloop There are lots of examples of fan works before the internet. For example, people wrote sequels for Gulliver's Travels 1726. Modern fanfiction also got its start in 1967 when a Star Trek fanzine contained fan fiction.
English
Fanfiction didn't exist before modern copyright.
This idea was created by AO3 writers to make them feel good about their low quality smut.

I weep for the state of education that people *still* call it the 'dark side of the moon' rather than the far side of the moon.
