At first I thought "reputti" was the funny Finnish version of repeat, then I realized the headline didn't say that, it said he failed. So probably something like repudiate.

But it means backpack...?

It really shouldn't have any similarities with English anyway but now I'm just curious about how that fits in there at all.
The Finnish lesson no-one requested:
Reputtaa = informal verb meaning "to fail (a test)"
Reppu = a backpack
"Reputtaa" could also be a verbified version of "Reppu", in which case it'd mean "to backpack"/"to turn into a backpack".
"Bilbo Baggins" has been translated as "Bilbo Reppuli" in the most popular translation of Lord of the Rings (by Kersti Juva).
(The very first translation of The Hobbit translated "Bilbo Baggins" instead as "Kalpa Kassinen"; "-li" and "-nen" are fairly similar noun/name endings, "kalpa" is an old word for a sword/blade & "kassi" means "bag", but "kassi" is also an euphemism for testicles so the first translation calling "Bilbo Baggins" basically "Blade Nutsackins" didn't really work)

Oh huh, didn't know it was a specific sword. Afaik when it's used nowadays it's generally a generic poetic word for a sword, though.

Plants and nonplant autotrophs convert H2O into O2.

I remember thinking "yeah OK so you've got a seed, and then BOOM in only 200 years it grows into a big-rear end loving tree so... where does the material come from?!?!?" and then when I got it it was a very :eyepop::popeye::eyepop::popeye::eyepop::popeye::eyepop::popeye: moment.

The inverse is how people lose weight. It’s not extra poo poo or extra piss. It’s extra exhalations.

There’s also a little extra mass in the piss.

One can lose a bunch of weight making GBS threads. Often ends in death.
