Phosphine posted:Do surfaces without thickness have sides? Or is it because you cannot see any 2D object, because they cannot exist? A truly 2D object would not have the mass to emit or reflect photons and hence could not be seen at all.

flavor.flv posted:Did you know that in several ancient European cultures it was forbidden to say the word for bear lest saying its name attract the beast and kill everyone? To the point that the English word for bear doesn't, etymologically, mean "bear". It comes from the word for brown. The original word is lost.

RFC2324 posted:Except our weekdays are named for norse gods. Thursday is Thor's Day. Anglo-saxon gods, technically, but they're the same ones the romans syncretised with their own. Tyw - Mars Wodan - Mercury Thor - Jupiter Frigga - Venus And also Just Saturn because why not I guess

caspergers posted:This is pretty much what's been happening with the word "apparently". Most people use it to mean supposedly/allegedly, but it actually means obviously; apparent means clear, which is obvious enough. Now this may have started as ironic or possibly hyerbolic (which we all know happened to "literally"), but I've seen it used as supposedly dating back to the 50s, in which case it's almost entirely lost its original meaning; this must be what happened the words awful and terrific. I always took "apparently" to mean "in light of recent information". As in, it appears that this is the case. Sometimes snidely implying that information is dubious.

rollick posted:Calling someone naive a "sweet summer child" is apparently a thing entirely made up by George RR Martin in Game of Thrones: Is that surprising? I thought the whole meaning about it was talking to children in the books that had spent their entire lives in the summertime because of the way seasons worked in the setting.
