@terrana One of the reasons CRT televisions were only made with very thick leaded glass screens was because they emitted harmful quantities of x-rays otherwise (and still emitted small quantities with them)

@keliff @fluxom_alt i was about to say the same thing, they have a very distinctive style!

@xenon @squirrellilly@queer.party yeah apparently the emulation is terrible and the controller mappings expect you to have that n64-style switch controller, from waht we've heard. it's kind of a trainwreck

@starkatt Fortunately, acetone isn't particularly harmful from just skin contact. Imagine if you'd found that out from working with something corrosive!

@Dex Aw, this is cute!

@socks I think it's also a sausage, probably unrelated to the music term

it looks like today is intersex awareness day, and i'm not eloquent enough to give any sort of proper thing about it but let's try to stop excluding intersex people from things

@Bee_Hive I love words like that! there's a lot of them in chemistry and medicine, we're fond of phenylalanine and dexmethylphenidate

if you include diphthongs too, we can add
- eɪ in face
- oʊ in goat
- aɪ in price
- ɔɪ in choice
- aʊ in mouth

and that's just general american

other dialects can have additional vowels or different realizations of the same diphthongs (like ei instead of eɪ, for instance)

received pronunciation has interesting diphthongs like eə and ɪə as a result of being non-rhotic, and some triphthongs too
-F

the fact that people are taught in school that english has five vowels is kind of ridiculous

we have (in general american):
- æ in cat
- ɑ in palm
- ɔ in thought
- ɪ in kit
- ε in dress
- ʌ in strut
- ʊ in foot
- i in fleece
- u in goose
- ə in comma (second vowel)

and that's just the monophthongs
-F
