bot idea: Bad Meal Bot, that takes a dish, takes one random ingredient and substitutes it with a random different ingredient, so you might get things like

"Take a [pepperoni pizza], but instead of the [cheese], use [black pepper]"

the etymological relation between expand and expanse suggests that there should be a word frand to correspond to france

I want to see a photo of hyenas and foxes together and getting along but I know that's very unlikely to happen

it'd be adorable though

okay this game is HARD

how the fuck do you beat the gaping dragon, I looked it up and people are suggesting using things you can't even get until after you beat it, or some kind of extremely upgraded weapons and like how do you get that, titanite is in short supply and the weapon I'm using needs sparkling titanite anyway and I only found two of that

Foxes!

they're good.

Every now and then I think about Discworld and wonder, was Nanny Ogg's name meant to be a reference to Tír na nÓg?

seriously, primary and secondary school education should have a LOT more information about native american culture and government and stuff because the impression people get coming out of it is that the native americans were some sort of wild people with no government to speak of and that's not even close to true

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4gU2Tsv6hY just saw this video about the Iroquois (aka Haudenosuanee) Confederacy and. Suddenly I really want to learn a lot more about the history of native north americans and their governments and all that stuff because this is all fascinating and why did we not learn this stuff in school

occasionally I think about what it would be like if there was more than one species of human still around today but then I realize that would kick racism into overdrive and never mind about that thought

heat-pump based heating can be more than 100% efficient though, if you only look at the effect on the interior. they generally call this the "coefficient of performance" rather than efficiency though

Space heaters, the only thing that can be 100% efficient

If people argue over whether to call it aluminum or aluminium, are there similarly people who insist that it ought to be molybenium?

also this same rule meant that _any_ elected official, when leaving the city of Rome, was immediately considered "on military campaign" and held absolute power over life and death of others which seems a bit abusable even if it never seems to have been abused

Rome had a weird relationship with politics and military

Not that it _worked_ in the end, but still.
