where did it originate, and why?

come to think of it, i also kinda wonder where the ¿...? and ¡...! in Spanish originated.... Huh. Punctuation is weird

also aren't there some languages that use ,,..." instead of english's "..."? and french, again being unusual, uses «...» for the same purpose

and Japanese uses 「...」, but that's kinda just an entirely different writing system with different rules so it feels more expected that punctuation would be different?

I don't know why it feels so weird to me, but it feels really weird to me that French and afawk only French puts spaces before question marks (and exclamation marks?)

we aren't aware of any other language that does this

think the one getting the attention could just be me, in the form i've been wearing lately--a two-headed, four-armed, three-legged, five-boobed red panda (this is emil's fault and i thank them for it)

and the one giving it... i was thinking of commissioning @kobi_lacroix for it (are you open for commissions by any chance?) so maybe his character Kex??? he's pretty hot...

thinking about... a two-headed person going down on a three-legged person, giving plenty of attention to whatever's in both their groins at once.......

mm, and now i'm thinking the three-legged one should be null (with balls? yeah with balls), but super sensitive--clearly completely overwhelmed by the feeling

why are all the drink companies changing names from diet whatever to whatever zero sugar?

why is colby jack the only marbled cheese you can get, is there something about those two cheeses that just works together mechanically so they don't separate apart or something?

it's kind of disappointing that "parmesan" can mean so many different things (in the US, due to poor food naming regulations around stuff like that)--half the time it's not any good, but real parmigiano-reggiano (at least *that* name is properly protected) is incredibly expensive

has colby ever seemed like wannabe cheddar to anyone else or is that just us

you could add pepper to any cheese, so why is pepper jack a thing and no other cheese?

if all we have are refrigerators, how do things get frigerated initially?

why *is* the "normal earth kids get superpowers/etc and have to do superhero/etc stuff but also hide it and pretend to be normal earth kids" plotline so common in kids' media, we really dislike it

trying to blend in all the time is exhausting, why would we want to escape to a world that also has that stress

good idea for that handshake meme thing: falcom and namco with the middle thing being "making wildly successful games that are important to the story of other games already released internationally and then never localizing them for any locale other than japan"
