"youtube comments are horrible" have been an internet truth for so long, but I guess now instead of "stupid and full of typos" it's "bigoted and full of typos"

BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT GENTOO
The thing that bothers me most abut the "I have cancer/down syndrome/AIDS/no legs/a horrible skin condition and nobody thinks I'm beautiful / wished me happy birthday / wants to be around me / prays for me" is that every time you type "Amen" or hit like, then your name is recorded and used for advertising purposes.

It's literally making money off of the falsified misfortunes of others. Find a pic of a crippled baby and then use it to build up that spam list.

The word Bae is close to sounding like the word for poop in Danish. It's spelt "bæ" and apparently it is hip and cool now for non Norwegians/Danes to use æ as an abbreviation of ae. it looks incredibly lame to me and makes me weirdly aware that æø&å are weird moon letters to the rest of the world.

It's like that with Greek too, but to a lesser extent. w and ω aren't the same, and neither are n and η, for some examples.

It's less "accidental poop" and more gibberish, but it's still a minor bug to me.

Yeah, the past several months of Trump/Russia political cartoons have been rife with "eh, this letter looks kinda like this one."

It's always funny when someone who can actually read the alphabet spells it out phonetically in English.

Our native language and plenty of others have standard latin characters that sound nothing like they do in English and it's pretty funny watching people guess how something like aoibhinn is pronounced.

The other day I had an extended semi-argument with a friend of mine while very high and watching Camp Camp about why the earth is not actually flat, Jared, no, that's loving retarded, yes I know you know it's loving retarded, so stop with the BUT WHAT IF, idc how high you are

He's a conspiracy theorist in the "well wouldn't it be awesome if the earth actually was hollow and that's where Hell was" sort of way, that is to say, someone with too many drugs and too much free time. If pressed he will eventually admit he doesn't actually believe the particularly stupid stuff, he just likes thinking about it.

If dude is serious :sever: because you don't need that kind of negativity

The other day I remembered reading someone online saying that Africans didn't bring anything to the world so I looked it up and the first evidence of mathematics and mining were both in sub-Saharan Africa. Meanwhile white people invented couches. Nice job guys.

I've met people who honestly believe Africans (you know, the entire continent) sat around in mud huts until white people came along. I don't know about other countries, but world history is poo poo in American schools. You might learn about European wars and stuff like the Silk Road, but African history centers around the slave trade.
