Baronjutter posted:I was thinking about how "caterpillar treads" and "tank treads" are sort of interchangeable but one is much more used for civilian and the other military. I was then thinking "Hey, wasn't Caterpillar an actual brand of construction equipment back in the day? I wonder where it went because today it's all just CAT and Komatsu and so on" Here's a fun fact: all CAT equipment uses the same exact key, and approximately 100% of the time that key is left under the floor mat at construction sites.

There's that Simpsons bit with Mr Burns' childhood, where his dad(?) at the atom mill has a man fired. As the worker is dragged away, he shouts about unions and how "we'll grow corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!" (The Japanese? Those sandal-wearing goldfish tenders?) "eat us alive" is a reference to the remarkable growth of the Japanese economy in the 80's, in particular its automotive and electronics divisions, and HAS NOTHING TO DO with some sort of obscure act of cannibalism by imperial forces in the Pacific theatre during WW2. Also, the american slang term "stroking out" means "to suffer the effects of a stroke" and not "masturbation." This realisation has made reading the Trump threads much less horrifying.

Olivia Coleman was in an episode of the UK Office. Rewatching old shows and seeing people who have since become famous is fairly common in Britain, but I did not see that one coming.

My favourite 'everyone in the UK knows each other' connection is Craig Ferguson and Peter Capaldi being in a punk band together.

For ages I always confused the Swedish 'vill' as the equivalent to English 'will' - it actually means 'want'. But it wasn't until recently that I realised 'will' must have meant 'want' in ye olden days, as in 'Make this happen, it is my will'.

So you know the joke "Why did the chicken cross the road?" That extremely well known joke that we've all been hearing since we could understand what a joke is? The punchline isn't just about the simple motivations driving a chicken to do what it does. The other side is the afterlife, because the chicken gets run over.

I'm pretty sure it's just baby's first anti-humor. That it's been enshrined as the Templar of a joke is itself ironic.

There's a finite amount of chicken souls and they just get recycled into new chickens so there's no afterlife for them to go to. I consider this myth: BUSTED
