Who says you get a choice?

Maybe it was someone else impersonating you, or maybe you accidentally fell into a time portal, or were pushed. Whatever the case, the fact that you’ve already experienced the result proves that whatever you may try to avert it won’t work.

The numbers are verse numbers, used for citing specific passages, e.g. “Ezekiel 23:20”.

I would assume that the letters are annotations, and that this is likely an academic Bible.

The contrast of their deaths has always stood out to me: She died of radiation-induced aplastic anemia. He was run over by a horse cart.

The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI’s fsn file manager running on IRIX.

The former is typical of British RP, and the latter is found in General American (though it varies regionally). So it really just depends on who you’re taking to.

To your questions, I would use “German” and “mispronunciation”.

Yeah I have a dal recipe that calls for “whole dry red chili”, “green chili”, and “red pepper”.

I do my best to interpret this (usually arboles, poblanos, and cayenne, respectively) and I like the result, but I do sometimes wonder what the author intended.

In fairness to that second post, Peter Pan never said what to clap.

Not enough. Omega, ADoM, Angband, Crawl, and Nethack are roguelikes. Nearly every game mentioned in this article is a roguelite.

You sound pretty sure about that.

Similar for me. I switched back in May of last year intending to dual boot as necessary until Win10 EoL, and it turned out it was never necessary.

The main thing anchoring me to Windows was gaming, and, despite hearing about it, I didn’t really understand just how good Wine had gotten since I last used it.

Those don’t seem to address the little girl. Kaguya grows quickly but is nevertheless apparently an adult by the time she goes to the moon. And the moon rabbit just loops back to Chang 'e.

Wait, I thought Chang’e was an adult woman. Is there a different moon-rabbit-lady story I don’t know about?

It seems possible that there might also be finite closed rings of memes that all make fun of another. In this case there would be no normiest meme, and dankness would not be well-ordered.

I just learned the other day that “Roman dodecahedron” is a bit of a misnomer: They’re mostly from Britain and Gaul, and none have ever been found in Italy. So Celtic or Romano-Celtic would be more accurate descriptors.

Hmm… in some vampire myths you can distract a vampire by scattering a bag of grain or similar in front of them because they are compelled to stop and count it. (And yes, that is why Sesame Street’s Count von Count is like that.)

So maybe it’s only crosses that are almost, but not exactly perpendicular that cause them pain.

I propose “orphanware” for that subset of abandonware that has no clear owner.

Consistent with the broader term “orphan work”.

Ah yes, the Waterworld strat.

The ‘P’ in “IoT” stands for privacy.

I mean, 独語, and 仏語 are perfectly cromulent, albeit less common than the katakana versions. And 米語 likewise exists, referring specifically to American English.
