I'm not entirely certain that the french language isn't some kind of 10th century joke that got way out of hand

i mean, it probably isn't, but......
-F

weird idea we just had: language that contains grammatical features that are solely for use by fictional characters in books and movies and such
-F

i am aware that many of these are actually italian plural words and the singulars would be e.g. graffito, raviolo

but the latin ending is funnier
-F

there are a lot of things that end in -i that are made endlessly more funny by taking that as the latin second declension plural and making the singular of it

pepperonus
graffitus
raviolus
spaghettus
skus
-F

one single pepperonus

oh yeah, something from the trip that probably @socks and no one else we know will appreciate: while travelling this last week, we were playing our own playlist on shuffle and right as we passed a tiny town called Hamel, Illinois on the highway, the track Silver Will started playing
-F

travelling wasn't really a good idea in the global circumstances but we kinda couldn't avoid it this time

but getting to go to the memphis zoo for the first time in like ten years was kinda nice

also seeing our family's pet cats. we missed them, it's been like two years since we visited home and we've seen our human family when they helped us move and stuff but the cats it's been a long time
-F

oh! and a ringtail too who had two enclosures across the hall from each other and a tunnel connecting them, which was neat
-F

while visiting family over the holidays we went to the zoo and there were so many animals i wanted to pet

especially in the nocturnal exhibit, they had two genets and a binturong and so many adorable bats and
-F

random thought: what names are there that people outside the US parse as very USian?
-F

we need food

but food is hard
-F

the pair of docks of taller ants
-F

did we miss anything
-F

we are finally back to being here, hi
-F

we should be asleep, we need to be up real early to get a plane....

goodnight, see you all in a week or so

the thing we really hate about the centrifugal vs centripetal force thing is that people seem to present it as though they're two words for the same thing but one of them is wrong, which is wrong

they are distinct things, the centrifugal force doesn't exist in a non-rotating reference frame and points away from the center of rotation while the centripetal force points towards the center of rotation (and exists in all reference frames)
