posting like that sucks and is lovely when it's from LoB or somebody else, honestly, for the same reasons as it's lovely to post people being hateful as the full content. Oh but it's ironic? Oh but it's a reference? Give me a list of the canonical books and movies i gotta memorize so I'll know when it's a reference and when it's actual hate, cuz like, not being omniscient and all, i gotta know what we're all supposed to be knowing. Genuinely.

There's this one group on facebook I was in for a bit where people would post lewds of themselves and pictures of their cats. That on its own would be whatever, the problem was that people would also post about their cats dying or having to go to the vet because of illness, and these posts would also be accompanied by lewds.

"RIP Mittens, you've been with me ever since I moved out on my own and I'm glad we had these last 12 years together. I'll love you forever, and I know you're in a better place now. Anyway, here's three lightly censored picture of my tits/rear end/dick, etc"

So he can be surrounded by his most fervent fans and supporters? I don’t think Trump would have a bad time in jail. He’d be giving selfies and be given tours while some patrolman ran out to get him his McDonald’s order.

Transverse flutes, i.e. the metal flutes with saxaphone-like keys people are most likely to think of when thinking of "a flute", are typically made of metal.

Woodwind instruments dont have to be made of wood. Saxophones are woodwind instruments despite being made of brass.

The skin flute is made of flesh and still classified - at least some of the time - as wood too.

Claiming a flute isn't a woodwind is like saying that raspberries and strawberries aren't berries.

I thought they were called woodwinds because of the wooden reed (not the body of the instrument), which the transverse flute doesn't have. A quick Google shows that flutes of all kinds count, though any other woodwinds have one or more reeds. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_woodwind_instruments

(This is very well put, thanks)
And state it like a known fact, with leaving room for wooden pan flutes.
Also assumed that wood was a necessary component in the construction of woodwind instruments. I could see the reed in a sax counting.

Feel free to school me further.

Lipstick Apathy
Material of a woodwind instrument used to matter, but now it refers to the way that sound is produced. Brass amplifies lip vibrations, woodwinds split the air blown to make the sound.

It's one of those things where the name used to make sense, but time and technique marches on and nobody wanted to change what they called things.
