I still like Dark Side for the most part. The Wall can go gently caress off though.

Also hyenas are more closely related to meerkats, mongooses and cats than to dogs



Which is why I get super mad when I loot their corpse and get canine leather Smh

The etymology of the word 'helicopter' isn't heli + copter but helico (Greek helikos "spiral", as in "helix") + pter (Greek pteron "wing", as in "pterodactyl")


The 'p' should be silent

I think the general cliche is that they get married once they're in the army, by women that either weren't prepared for, or were actively counting on, an absent husband with reliable pay deposits.

Check out Watertown, NY lol

In that context, "race" means "species" (as in "the human race"). Though it did discuss the developments of what is essentially breeds into seperate species

Yep! Just wasn't to give an example

Doing a rewatch of Farscape. I'm a goddamn idiot. The episode "Jeremiah Crichton " is obviously referencing Jeremiah Johnson

I was taught that "brontosaurus" wasn't real and it was just an archaeologist accidentally putting a brachiosaurus head on the wrong end of the rest of the fossil. None of that is true. There was some confusion early on, two different partial apatosaurus fossils were identified as being different species with the one discovered later being called "brontosaurus" and there was some confusion with a different species' skull involved at one point, but today there's just a debate over whether brontosaurus is in fact distinct enough from apatosaurus to qualify as a different species.

I was also taught that Columbus wanted to prove the Earth was round and that gravity exists because of centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation, neither of which make any sense.

FO-yurr is American English and fo-YAY is how it's pronounced in Canada. Similar to how "niche" in America is nitch and in Canada is neesh. Canada tends to lean further into French pronunciation for obvious reasons.

I grew up near the Canadian border. I figured out that I pronounce 'sorry' like a Canadian when I moved downstate. Lots of other stuff too probably. I blame Mr Dressup (RIP my brother).

For some reason I sometimes pronounce it nitch and sometimes pronounce it neesh.

No idea why I do that, don't think there are any other words that I pronounce differently at different times.

Me too, probably code switching
