@elliearomalady @otterwsley Was he? Or was it just like when younger kids do magic without meaning to? In the book it doesn’t actually say Ron did non-verbal magic.

@AisLPhillips @otterwsley He was casting a spell then, trying to get Malfoy.

I HATE that Ron is labeled dumb/incompetent by so many ppl, he was pretty similar to Harry academically and met the high grade requirements to study his newt subjects. He's also done some impressive magic, he was only 12 and was able to cast a non verbal spell!!

@elliearomalady @otterwsley I thought that was just because his wand was broken and it misunderstood that Ron wasn’t actually casting a spell at that moment.

@AisLPhillips @otterwsley I believe they’re referring to the slug-vomiting one.

@meishato Which 60 year old are they on about, exactly? (Sorry, I feel like I’m missing something here)

THE AMOUNT OF MEN ASKING “WHAT IF SHE GETS HER PERIOD AND STARTS A WAR” ABOUT A 60 YEAR OLD WOMAN IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY MEN NEED TO STAY OUT OF OUR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

@stevefambro @AudreyPorne Not really,nI know you guys DO use microwaves for tea so…

@AisLPhillips @AudreyPorne Was a joke

Americans not having electric kettles is kind of insane, no?

Took me way too long to realise that’s a shower and not a Dalek…

@FionaPhillips Watch if you’re ever having a bad day -Eartha Kitt at her funniest!

@PaulSchleifer How do you kids not learn this stuff in school?

So many muppets out there.

@Dhavidote Yeah, for once Sheldon was actually being nice. Penny and Bernadette were bitches but then that’s nothing new.

His reaction when he saw her in the wedding gown was so priceless 🥺

@nazzobetweeting @AudreyPorne A kettle really is more than just a device to make tea and coffee with.

@nazzobetweeting @AudreyPorne Yes but you do get the occasional Americans who try to do afternoon tea, and then they do this (all the while getting everything else about afternoon tea seriously wrong too). Anyway I thought you guys had instant noodles and hot chocolate? Don’t you need kettles for those?

@bestofstarwar Sorry but imo even Hugh Quarshie, Ian McDiarmid and Brian Blessed couldn’t save it in the end.

I genuinely can't understand how the previous generation saw this in 1999 and said, "This sucks."

@vickylynnxo @AudreyPorne Erm, yeah,you do. I’ve yet to see an American making tea with a kettle. And you rarely see them in kitchens in US TV shows.

@AisLPhillips @AudreyPorne No we don’t

@anon_opin Some pasta shapes take longer to cook than others - for example spaghetti takes seconds but penne takes much longer.

If you're fussy about having to have a particular pasta shapes then you're basically a toddler.

And this is exactly why I always hate when ppl claim that belle was “putting the other villagers down” in her first song, like NO my girl is just trying to survive in a patriarchal society

@colingorrie In Wales, it’s ci (pronounced key).

The word "dog" is something of a mystery. All of English’s relatives have something like "hound": German has "Hund," Dutch has "hond," Swedish has "hund." Yet only English has a word like "dog." In Old English, the word for ‘dog’ was "hund" too, a word which survives in "hound." It's traceable back thousands of years to link up with its cousins in Latin "canis" and Ancient Greek "kýōn." Then, around the year 1050, a different word appears: "docga." It’s clearly the ancestor of "dog." But it has almost no written history before that, and no clear relatives in any other language. Nevertheless, by 1500, "dog" had replaced "hound" as the normal word for the animal. The upstart won: a real "underhound" story. So where did "dog" come from? And why did it spring out of nowhere? Some scholars think it might be a nickname. One clue: "dog" belongs to a cluster of English words that all share an unusual shape. We have "dog," "pig," "stag," "frog," "hog," even "earwig." They're all terms for animals, the kinds of things we might give cute nicknames to… even earwigs. On this theory, these words are like thousand-year-old versions of "doggy" and "piggy." They tend not to show up in Old English texts because they're informal: not the kind of thing monks write about. That's one theory, anyway: we'll probably never know for sure.

@stevefambro @AudreyPorne Microwaves aren’t recommended to make tea with, I think you’ll find. But hey, you do you.

@AudreyPorne For tea? No we have microwave ovens and Styrofoam cups for that….
