Well that was fascinating, thank you

Not, unfortunately

Those are the ones! It’s quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

Amazing, thank you for that. There’s so much that’s fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

It’s one of the many ways I know that as a species we’re fucked

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn’t sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

We have Neolithic attracts and Roman ruins, as well as a castle from somewhere around 1066, also now ruins.

The oldest recorded standing and still used building is from around 1290.

Finally answering the zen question of “what is the sound of one hand clapping?”

Wait, I thought if you googled Google it broke the internet?

I’ve been here since the API changes at Reddit and the sub blackouts that followed, and I think it’s becoming more interesting all the time. Back in the early days there was no point in refreshing the /all feed more than once every 4 hours as it just wouldn’t have changed, now it’s much more than that.

Fake news. This is a fossil chip that these men dug up. Chips back in the Doracic era could grow much bigger due to the higher oxygen content of the air at the time.

When I was 18, I flew over to Australia from London via LA, stayed up all day and arranged to meet with some people that is meet on the plane for a beer, all good, having a drink in a pub out at Coogee Bay.

I was sat on a bar stool, closed my eyes, woke up standing next to the pool table having flicked all of the “next game” reservation coins onto the table. A very large Australian guy was saying “I hope you know where all those came from”

My new friend hustled me out of there, thankfully.

Old god on the right looks like he’s been hitting that pipe in his hand too much
