sweeperbravo posted:My slow brain came up with Before Baba Yaga, but upon consideration does BBY=Before Baby Yoda Basically all SW media is dated in relation to the Battle of Yavin, which was the planet the rebels were on (or one of its moons or whatever) in the first movie when the Death Star blew up. I think Disney’s recently been trying to base everything around the destruction of the new base in Force Awakens, but that hasn’t been received especially well.

My personal theory is that yodas (for lack of a real species name) are a brood parasite who lay an egg somewhere to be found by some hapless sapient, and instinctively use the Force to mind trick them into caring for the cute alien baby they found. This is why you don't see them forming societies: there aren't many of them to begin with and none of them get raised by their own kind. I should probably get around to finishing the Mandalorian, though.

The MSJ posted:I remember several people saying they thought Yoda is just a really old human when they watched ESB as children. I one hundred percent thought this as a ~six year old. Then again I also thought that there was just one catch-all "citrus" tree and the fruit you got depended on when you picked it, like limes ripened to lemons with ripened to mandarins which grew into oranges which then faded into grapefruits. Maybe I wasn't that smart as a kid...

Citrus taxonomy was mysterious for many years. They have a long history of cultivation and they hybridise readily with each other. We figured it out with genetic analysis in the twentieth century. There are three wild species of citrus, mandarin, citron, and pummelo that are the primary ancestors of major commercial fruits, which I think was the idea behind “not totally wrong”. It’s also possible to graft most citrus to each other. Kumquats are their own species. Limes have C. micrantha in them and there are some niche crops with genes from outside, including makrut lime, yuzu, and calamansi. Australia has an entire genus, Microcitrus, whose most popular member is the finger lime.  This map is kind of not entirely correct. Mandarins are believed to be native to Taiwan and the Philippines, not just mainland China.  Life didn’t give us lemons. We created them. I like lemons and limes, but don’t ask me why we bred oranges or grapefruits. The wild types are just better.

The calamondin is apparently one of the most powerful culminations of fruit evolution and I've never even heard of it

It’s just the most niche fruit that the chart maker included for whatever reason. It’s popular in the Philippines. I’m not a fan. Now, Japan’s sudachi, that’s a good fruit. It’s more common than limes there.

WITCHCRAFT posted:Every dog my parents and my self have owned in my whole life were terrified of thunder and fireworks. It was about 2 years ago and in lreland. As it happens my own dog was on a lead because he's a panicker. Multiple other people had their dogs off leash, presumably because it's a pretty big park so a dog would have to run a long way to be in danger, and their dogs could be trusted not to run off in normal circumstances. Fireworks at lunchtime in April are not normal circumstances. Leash laws are not universally identical around the world you know, the requirement here is generally that the dog has to be under 'effective control'. That's a lead for some dogs, and vocal commands for dogs who have been fully trained.

If it isn't fireworks it's dog peer pressure. Verbal control is leaving enough leash to hang yourself with and are bad laws imo. Working dogs who have graduated from dog school are still kept on a leash on the job (for the jobs where it's possible) because it's such a good short circuit. Dog parks with bad density control are similarly a menace because at least the fence means they arent going to bolt into traffic but the dog peer pressure gets to be a menace.

It's shitbag owners as well that go to fenced dog parks and sit there on their phones or whatever while their dog terrorises the place. "He can't run into traffic = he's safe = my responsibilities are fulfilled". I take my dog to the massive triple oval complex near our dog park that is also off-leash because there's almost never anyone there, no matter how full the park is. I get my walk in while my dog runs all over the place.

I like overanalysing media and have come to the conclusion that Yoda is probably self-taught at English. His unusual sentence construction is fairly standard "Verb, Object, Subject" ie "Obey me, you will" - this implies to me that his native language has that kind of grammar, and that when he learned english, probably from a computer or book, he just kind of swapped his own words for the english equivalent, never learning English grammar properly due to no formal tuition.

No, he's just old enough that the language has evolved and he hadn't kept up. Talked like that everyone did 900 years ago.
