I used to think Scouse was the one exception to my "I love all British accents" policy. Then I realised Alexei Sayle is scouse and I love Alexei Sayle so now scouse is a-ok with me.

I remember getting a dumb joke book as a kid and one of the jokes was about a kiwi going into a shop and ordering some fush and chups. The bloke at the counter laughs and goes oh, you must be a kiwi. The kiwi gets annoyed and leaves, spends the next six months practising his accent, finally marches back in and goes hey, I'd like some fish and chips please. The guy answers, I bet you're from new zealand. The kiwi is mad as hell, he could have sworn his accent was dead on, that's six full months wasted. He demands to know how the guy could tell?? The guy shrugs and goes, well.. this is a furniture store

I've heard this same joke except it's a Polish guy asking for Polish sausage in a hardware store. Nice to know it can be spun differently.

There’s nothing more enjoyable than a bunch of people trying to phonetically type out words in a particular accent in an online forum

If you're not going to offer at least a broad IPA transcription, what's even the point?

Yorkshire Pudding posted:It was such an eye opener when I met two Brit’s abroad, one from London and one from Birmingham. The London guy sounded like a character from Downton Abbey and the Birmingham guy sounded like a rough-and-tumble street orphan from Bleak House. A dear friend of mine, a Lancaster resident, once called me in deep distress. I could understand maybe half of what she was saying. It was awful. I wanted to give her a shoulder, and I did the best I could. RIP Susan Hall, IP solicitor and very fine writer.

Long ago I saw a video of a stand-up set, where she brought up that the Aussies think the Kiwis are loving the sheep, the Kiwis think the Aussies are loving the sheep, etc "Frankly I think it's the sheep that are the sluts"

My perception of national stereotypes is that the Welsh are the least trustworthy around sheep, followed by Kiwis, Scots, Aussies, and the English, in that order.

I didn’t realize we were at reliable, consumer-grade full-body vtuber technology now, that’s pretty rad. What are they using to do that?

I'm guessing it's something they're wearing that a program like, real time scans/edits/interpolates them out of the scene and replaces them with an anime catgirl.
