the idea of two multibodied people going on a date in multiple locations at once is a very cute one

A two-bodied hyena, more specifically. Multibodied by choice or by chance? Hmm.

Sometimes I just get ideas and then character creation and worldbuilding starts before I even know it

Was reminded of the existence of christmas crackers in the UK (via an ashens video featuring easter crackers). Why do these exist, anyway? Where did this tradition come from? Are there ones that actually contain good things? Why a hat?

pizzelle is good

pizzelles are good?

how do you say that, we've never had it or heard of it before

Anyone here an electrical engineer and good with connectors? We have some unusual requirements and are having trouble finding ones that fit our needs.

just saw someone mention an AMA and I thought of doing my own, with a twist: you ask questions, and then I ignore them and don't actually answer anything because it's "ask me anything", that doesn't say anything about answers

Datasheet state transition diagram vs alchemic transmutation circle.

why was the wikipedia page about the letter/ligature ß open, I do not remember opening that tab

hot take: Masto should not focus on acquiring new users

it should focus on providing its users a safe, stable, reliable place to form a community, and allow users to join organically

trying to emulate other systems by incorporating their flaws is a terrible idea and guess against the whole ethos behind most people who came here

suggestion: instead of letter emojis, why not implement some user-useable tags

eg: <hacker>blah blah blah lorem ipsum</hacker>

which seems to basically be how people want screenreaders to ideally read this stuff anyway

html tags had screenreaders in mind from the get-go, too. early spec documents included examples like using <sarcasm> or <sad> or whatever so the screen reader's inflection could be adjusted

It looks like people are talking about april fools stuff so I want to say

I will not be doing anything for april fools. No pranks, no jokes, nothing.

April fools is already hard on people with anxiety. If you see this, please consider making a statement that you won't do anything for april fools, so that people like myself can be a little more comfortable that day, and not have to dread it as much.

This goes doubly for instance admins. Please don't change the site suddenly without warning.

it occurs to me that passersby is the only english word we're aware of that pluralizes like that

english is definitely a language, yep

our internet is being very bad right now and not loading things half the time

To the math people on here (@Austin_Dern being the only one I know): Could someone explain the motivation for homogeneous coordinates to us? We just don't get it.

this is on Amphenol's website, part of a parametric search system for connectors. So it isn't trying to be inclusive of nonbinary people or anything.
