I'm amazed I took this challenge on, that took forever 😂 but it was fun! I'll have to learn about the other 19 now 🌿

Made a list of my favorite pioneers (men) You get a point for every name you know and can give at least a short description with a fun fact of each person of this list. How many points you got? Extra points if you can think of more names that would go great on this list.

I had a server, ran it for a good year but not anymore sadly! I tend to jump on the odd community server once in a blue moon by scrolling randomly through the lists. I may get consistent on it again and start another server if I gather enough like minded people to get together to play it 🌿

@Adiensos @RinoTheBouncer Name of the server ?

What game had you like this?🚀

@jonyoung10 @brockpierson I had the same setup. Those were the days lol I always rushed for the mammoth tanks, I thought they looked so cool 😎 I had a similar friend that just built planes all the time, everyone had a tactic 😂

@Adiensos @brockpierson We had the link cable so used to play 2 player with 2 consoles and 2 tvs. My one mate would just build loads of airports and keep sending planes across to bomb you rather than have a full scale tank and infantry battle lol

Last night I played 4 hours of the original Command & Conquer Red Alert with a friend. I absolutely loved this game. One of the first PC games I truly obsessed over. Released in 1996. Still an incredible game. DId you play it?

@notnoramami 😂 There we go, perfect👌

@Adiensos Lol

And on the list of purchases my friend convinced me to buy cause she said it changed her life but it was a completely waste of money: This stupid shit Gosh I hate when I fall for random cheap consumerism.

@ImmuteSheesh @brockpierson It really was, very smooth. Genuinely wouldn't mind another RTS to come out for console again 🌿

@Adiensos @brockpierson Actually was extremely playable on console surprisingly

@notnoramami Fair! Actually I can imagine they'd be soft and squishy, probably good for teething 🤔

@Adiensos I put them on my babys random things to play with box lol

@notnoramami 😆🤣 Well one of those wirey head massagers may have done the job, awesome, well one can't argue with a sale Love a good sale 😂 Though sadly you got two random things that you don't want, maybe find another use for them like ummm... As shoes... Or knuckle dusters? 😂

@Adiensos Lmao 😂so she explained how it literally changed her life bacanes it was so satisfying and she was so looking forward to wash het hair because of it. And how it was the best gift i could give to my man. And the two pack was on sale lmao

@notnoramami Well that's fair, good bit of leeway! No idea what mine is, probably wouldn't want to find out 😂

@Adiensos I don’t know mabe 75%?

As long as he doesn’t interact with other women I’m ok

You’re mixing different things here... We say 'on' a chair because it’s a surface, but 'in' a wheelchair because you’re supported within its frame. And 'on' a helicopter ride is about the ride itself (like on a trip), not the vehicle. You’re still 'in' a helicopter as a passenger. English uses context to decide between 'on' and 'in', which is why nuance matters here. I've explained this a few times now.

@Adiensos @alphafox Everyone who sits in a wheelchair is not confined to it. We all sit on regular chairs that we aren't confined to, but we can still say we're sitting in the chair, even though we're sitting on the chair. We go on a roller coaster ride but we can also go on a helicopter ride.

If you stop and think about it, it really doesn't make any sense. 😵‍💫

@notnoramami I had no idea what it was and I'm glad you explained it but I do have one question... How did your friend convince you to actually buy that and not just one of them but two of them? 😂

Is supposed to be a hair massager that I bought to save money on shampoo cause it was supposed to make the shampoo more bubbly and spread better. It did not work. Feels good when hair is dry but is weird when hair is wet. One star.

Apologies if it's a bit unclear, I think I explained it well here: "Am I inside the vehicle or on top of it? This works physically and conceptually. So are you on top of it, or on it as part of a larger transport system? Does it feel like you’re inside something with boundaries around you like a container or enclosed space, where your movement is structurally limited by the space?" You don't sit on top of the wheelchair, you're confined to it so you'll be 'in' a wheelchair. You get 'on' a motorbike so that works fine. The roller coaster is a good one to debate but this is where nuance, like the plane example, comes in: 'You go on a roller coaster because it’s a ride, like a bus or plane. You’d only say' in' if you’re talking about being physically stuck inside it.' The helicopter one is a good one to debate as well as the nuance becomes rather literal: You wouldn’t usually say ‘on a helicopter’ in everyday use, because you’re enclosed inside it rather than on a larger transport system. So normally you’d say ‘in a helicopter’. Saying 'on' a helicopter would usually be for technical and mechanical contexts, for example, 'I'm working on the helicopter' Hopefully that makes more sense now 🌿

@Adiensos @alphafox You are correct. You're also correct that is not perfect. Because a wheelchair would be categorized as "on" if a motorcycle is; and the roller coaster is more confined than a car and as confined as a small plane. On a helicopter or in a helicopter, are both acceptable.

You haven't applied what I explained: When talking about passengers then you're 'on' a plane, because you are considered part of the transport system, like being on a bus or a boat. In contexts of technical or mechanical terms then you can utilise 'in' a plane as in 'there is a fuel leak in the plane' or 'you are sitting in the cockpit' If you wish to be literal in regards to passengers doing something then you would say 'I am/ you are sitting 'inside' the plane' Nothing is made up.

@Adiensos @orbplasma @alphafox "on a plane" "in a plane" so it's all made up, got it

@Dravarden @orbplasma @alphafox I expanded on the explanation 👇 x.com/i/status/20381…

@Adiensos @orbplasma @alphafox in a hot air balloon you can walk just as much, if not more, than on a minibus

@CaptainKirk666 @alphafox This should help 👇 x.com/i/status/20381…

@Adiensos @alphafox I’m in a bike? This is what happens when you try to add logic to the English language.

@BlackboardBrand @alphafox Here you go 👇 x.com/i/status/20381…

@Adiensos @alphafox I'm ON a motorcycle.

Due to the replies I'm getting I'll expand on this: As I said before it's not perfect but it's a useful start for those starting out learning English, that's why it's oversimplified, now the nuance is important. Once you grasp what I said originally you can start thinking more into it and start asking yourself: Am I inside the vehicle or on top of it? This works physically and conceptually. So are you on top of it, or on it as part of a larger transport system? Does it feel like you’re inside something with boundaries around you like a container or enclosed space, where your movement is structurally limited by the space? On a motorbike On a bike On a broom On a horse On a roller coaster On a plane On a boat On a bus All fit the 'on' category. In a car In a fighter jet In a small plane In a taxi In a canoe In a kayak In a tunnel In a wheelchair These all fit the 'in' category because you're enclosed by the frame. 🌿

Poorly explained English explanation but funny 😂 If you can get up and walk around and do things without being confined then you're 'on' a vehicle. If you're sitting down, unable to move around and are mostly confined to a specific part then you're 'in' a vehicle. It's not perfect but it's the best way to describe it. Should help someone who's learning English until they figure out the nuances of the English language 🌿

Like I said, it's not perfect but it's an useful start for those learning it, the nuance is important. Once you grasp what I said originally you can start thinking more into it: You need to then start asking yourself if you're inside it or on top of it, this works physically and conceptually. So can you move around or are you physically 'on' top of it? Are you enclosed or contained 'in' it? On a motorbike On a bike On a broom On a horse etc All fit the 'on' top of it.

@Adiensos @alphafox As others already said, this doesn't work for so many things (horse, motorcycle, bicycle, ride). I always think of "on" as in "on top of". That works for more things. In the case of planes, I think it's "on" because in the early ones you actually went on top of it and that stuck
