Like so many people answering this, my height.
In my case it contrasts with my wife’s height - I’m half a yard (nearly half a meter) taller than she is.
Genshin has a 7 elements system that partially does what you describe: Wood (or anything made of or affected by dendro) burns when exposed to fire (pyro), fire melts ice (cryo) and vaporizes water (hydro), water conducts (well, causes a damage reaction with) electricity (electro), etc. The outliers are stone (geo) which makes forcefield shields with some of the other elements, and air (anemo) which swirls up and spreads and reacts together some of the other elements.
I have the opposite issue with background apps - I have 12 GB of RAM (16 on the tablet) and it still closes utilities sometimes and forces me to relaunch them (in some cases going back into settings and re-enabling accessibility services for example. That should never happen, in case it’s Really for accessibility)
I don’t follow music much, but I have a guess anyway. It seems like the number and diversity of genres just absolutely exploded since trading .mp3 files became a thing. And with digital stores and YouTube, distribution isn’t a hurdle anymore, publishers don’t have to pick and choose which albums to release, they can just do ‘all’ of them.
So there’s just no longer one single sound that can define a decade the way it used to be, now people hear hundreds of wildly different bands in a year instead of a few dozen that were hand picked by studios because they had trendy sounds.
Lots of games do this. I remember finding the chart to read the text in Commander Keen about 30 years ago.
Undead Deity is in fact a great answer to the question.
This book also basically predicted cryptocurrency (but not the blockchain stuff)
I guess I’ll be the thread’s normie:
Deadpool & Wolverine
And yes I would recommend it. (If one is a fan of the genre of course)
They REALLY would. (A few other examples are mentioned also)
In the US it’s Scotch tape, we never had that UK brand, so it’s unheard of as a generic also.
And Hoover is a brand, but I guess wasn’t as dominant, so nearly everyone just says vacuum as the verb.
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world obviously
I’ve only done a cold approach a couple times in my life, and it did indeed always end in disaster. So I gave up on that fully. Eventually met my wife on a dating site, but I understand that that’s becoming much more difficult now with the enshitification, and it was never easy.
Well Now you could have shorted NVDA. It’s down like 12 points from a few days ago.
I’m a little surprised they are even still going. I guess staying small really was a goal.
Also in the US, the dollar sign is written before the number, like $5, not 5$
(Even though it’s spoken after the number, and almost all other units are after the number in both speech and writing)
When I saw the title I was seriously expecting a lot more replies like this.
Archie McPhee is cheating. They have ketchup hard candies among other incredible atrocities.
Sadly it looks like they no longer have the Nihilist ‘mints’ that taste like nothing.
