The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

How is annihilator supposed to be pronounced?

Terrible Estate Agent Photos@feddit.uk•When your contractor has the drawings upside down
4·2 年前I agree. In my opinion it fits “weird layout”, second bulletpoint in the sidebar.

4·2 年前It’s divided into apartments. The pictures in the listing are from the apartment for sale on the first floor. The ground floor seems to be just entrance and staircase.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Nerds of Lemmy, what are all of the ways that make you a "cool" person?
5·2 年前This is amazing! I randomly selected somewhere in the middle, and the driver had to jump out of the tram to extinguish a fire and quickly jump back in to carry on.

Discworld@lemmy.ml•Does the TierMaker Community Tier List actually reflect the opinions of the Discworld community?

8·2 年前Just wanted to comment, cause this community is a bit quiet. But man, I really hate tier lists. Just enjoy what you enjoy.
Like, Unseen Academicals and The Last Hero are some of my favourites.
I haven’t read the Tiffany Aching books. Just cause I don’t read much YA stuff. Maybe one day… In many discworld groups people really seem to enjoy them. And I’ve heard they are great for younger readers too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a tip, fact, or piece of information that you want to share?
16·2 年前https://blogs.iu.edu/sciu/2023/05/06/the-longest-sperm-on-earth/

Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.
Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.
Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.
Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I’m not alone.
What does SEP mean?

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Quarter was rejected at the laundrymat. Someone slipped me a token for a lazer tag franchise that went bankrupt in 1997
10·2 年前This shit gets me all the time… '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes… 27. Surely not? Feels like it’s 10 years or so. Checks math… no, 27.

Cross stitch and embroidery@sh.itjust.works•24 hours(!) of cross stitch on Errol the swamp dragon
4·2 年前Errol! You better hide anything edible, or actually anything non-edible too, when that one is finished :)
Couldn’t quickly find the perfect quote, but have this lovely one instead:
Where do you think they’ve gone?’ he said. ‘Where what?’ said Lady Ramkin, temporarily halted.
‘The dragons. You know. Errol and his wi - female.’
‘Oh, somewhere isolated and rocky, I should imagine,’ said Lady Ramkin. ‘Favourite country for dragons.’
‘But it - she’s a magical animal,’ said Vimes. ‘What’ll happen when the magic goes away?’
Lady Ramkin gave him a shy smile.
‘Most people seem to manage,’ she said.
She reached across the table and touched his hand.

Recently learned it’s actually “Eagles”, not “The Eagles”. (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)
But even the band themselves will use “the” when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.
