Most tigers have heard the word "tiger" in one language or another While the number of tigers in the wild has increased in the last few years, they're still outnumbered by tigers in captivity in the US alone. Captive tigers have probably heard someone say "tiger" at least once in their lives. Some of the wild ones may have too, especially if they were reintroduced from captivity or spend time near humans. Compare to, let's say, deer, where most deer will live out their lives in the woods somewhere and never hear a human say "deer". This isn't limited to tigers, of course. Any endangered species with more animals in captivity than the wild would be the same way.

Hey now it's pyf thing you just realized, doesn't say anywhere that it has to be useful I guess it makes me a little sad, when for most of their evolutionary history, as far as tigers were concerned, the human noise for "tiger" was "EEEYAAAAAAGH" Phy has a new favorite as of 19:52 on Jan 5, 2024 |

The purpose of putting "O" before a noun ("O ye of little faith") was to make it explicit that you were talking to that noun.

So, I went out for drinks this evening with a good friend of mine, and he told me a story related to him by an ex of his who he keeps in touch with. Our hero has a bathroom scales that happen to be internet enabled. She brings home a lad one night who doesn't know this. And she ends up getting a notification on her phone, in the wee hours, from her scales registering X amount. And then shortly afterwards another entry registering 1.5kg less. The lad she brought home took a monster dump, and verified it for himself with before and after measurements. Not knowing he would be forever immortalised by the internet scales.

Wait, poo poo, hang on, also, something I just realised The word for "like" or "as" is basically the same in Spanish as it is in Hebrew. "Como" and "c'mo". I remember looking up the translation for this song from a Chilean group that my parents had an album of, growing up, and not batting an eye at the line "En libertad, como los pajarillos" ("In freedom, like the birds"). We're Australian Jews, so zero Spanish and a little bit of Hebrew. I've noticed that when I try to think in a language other than English, if I don't know the vocab I need my brain often supplies the right word from a different language, other than the one I'm trying to work with. Of course this is usually total nonsense, but in this one particular case, it just so happens to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_irHjn9LYcw

The O is some 'spect, though, less that you're talking to it, but about it with some sense of importance. Also if you can read Hebrew you can allegedly read katakana with little effort.

Anyone can read Hiragana or Katakana with very little effort. I'm serious one day is enough to be reasonable at Hiragana and a week at most for Katakana. Now understanding anything you read is the hard part.

Swiss Miss brand hot chocolate packets come in pairs with perforations so you can rip them apart and have two individual packets. This seems like it would risk puncturing one of the packets, but they gave each one of the pair a different amount of extra leeway to compensate for the asymmetry of the perforations. It's a good design I never noticed until recently.

On a related note, I learned the other day that Swiss Miss hot cocoa is one of the few brands that DOESN'T contain stupid high amounts of lead in it. As someone who usually has a cup after my lunch at work I went out and bought a box of their mix to keep at my desk.

Yea, I heard it from a youtuber I mostly trust about stuff like that but decided to look into it myself to be be sure. The tl;dr of that article is that most chocolate has at least some lead or cadmium, but some brands are obviously better than others. Here's a screenshot of their hot cocoa section, but they have sections on a lot of different products too.

A lot of chocolate comes from Africa, and many of those nations used leaded gasoline up until the mid 2000's. https://ourworldindata.org/leaded-g...20the%20region.

I bought a box of flax seed to add fibre to my breakfast and snacks and it said "adults should not consume more than two tablespoonfuls a day, children should stay the gently caress away". What it didn't say was why; the fuckers are full of whatever heavy metals were in the soil they grew in. Apparently here it means they'll slowly give you cadmium poisoning. Why are they even sold? IDK. E: or was it linseed? I'm on the bog so can't check.

It's flax. The thing is that to get heavy metal poisoning you need to crack the seeds open (by blending them into a smoothie or supplement), if you eat them like normal you're not gonna get poisoned.
