every video game system has their buttons in the same arrangement but called by different names... and every one has an X button in a different location (sony: bottom, nintendo: top, microsoft: left)

today we learned: british coins (at least some of them) are apparently ferrous and will stick to magnets

we thought it was a movie

wait mission impossible was a TV series?

@synthbold so now I'm curious, is the number 192807 of some personal significance or is it just a random number?

Hmmm..... Tail.

I posted about that earlier but it also felt like I didn't? I dunno. I'm feeling a little more energetic about it than earlier anyway

Good morning everyone! Today's our birthday. -w-

today is our birthday

it's not really something we get all excited about anymore but it's still A Thing so

*opens muzzle, emits dot-matrix printer noises*

but trying to pronounce Arabic as though it were Japanese when you only speak English is a recipe for disaster

honestly we probably pronounce it really wrong too anyway so we have no place being so annoyed at it

saw someone horribly mispronounce baten kaitos (sounded like they thought it was japanese and were trying to apply japanese pronuncation to it) in a youtube video and now I'm mildly annoyed but not enough to want to leave a comment on the video

Is there a big list somewhere of what food items expiration dates actually matter on and which ones they don't? because you don't want to be drinking expired milk but if a loaf of bread is past its expiration date and isn't moldy it's probably fine

every time our tv turns on it says in big letters in one corner "DIGITAL TELEVISION" which just seems weird

⦕what exactly is the point of these parentheses⦖

that may in fact have been the point, too! I don't know a ton about Aztec culture but I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that they gave their foodstuffs a day off

So apparently there was a major Aztec holiday where for a week every eight years they would make tamales with no filling and no spices in order to not overwork the maize

this description (which is from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamale#Aztecs) makes me think they had a holiday where they just gave the corn a week off
