Ok but if you see sliced croissant loaf, fucking buy that shit, buy two, immediately. I don’t even like to shop any more at places where they don’t sell it.

xantoxis@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•What other movies wouldn't work today?English1·10 months agoYou couldn’t make Deadpool & Wolverine today because it just came out and people would not be ready for a reboot this early.
What about “old as shit”? I bet that’s a lot older
xantoxis@lemmy.worldto Funny@sh.itjust.works•You can feel how cathartic this must have been for someone1·1 year agoOn the one hand, a sign like this definitely did have enough room for the full spelling of “through”. There seems to be no reason to abbreviate it.
On the other hand, isn’t drive-thru just, like, its own noun now? Part of me thinks this was always spelled correctly.
I mean, he’s always lying, so the answer must be yes, but if you told me this was true about him I would have believed you
xantoxis@lemmy.worldto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Uhura being even more amazing1·1 year ago- Fair + maiden
“Neither” means
- not fair (because she’s black); this would probably not be an issue for censors
- not a maiden (because she’s had sex); they might not have liked this one.

xantoxis@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•New images reveal what Neptune and Uranus really look likeEnglish0·1 year agoEven though the artificially-saturated color was known at the time among planetary scientists—and the images were released with captions explaining it—that distinction had become lost over time
Ah, well, releasing images where they’re both light gray circles will certainly help dispel this myth. If there’s one thing the public really latches onto, it’s when factual science makes things more boring.
xantoxis@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there an alternative to saying "so-called" which doesn't suggest potential falsehood?1·2 years agoThe problem here, linguistically, is that any phrase which means this will take on the meaning of falsehood automatically, over time. It’s the same way that any respectable word that means “has a disability” eventually comes to be an insult and then a slur.
If you want to say something like that, the word “putative” is still pretty unfettered by negative connotations, but only because few people use it. If it were in common use, it would follow the same path as “so-called”. A more reliable approach in the long-term is to say what you mean using more words instead of fewer:
She could trust him more than any of her friends; although she wasn’t sure those people were really her friends, it remained to be seen.
It’s actually the length and awkwardness of the sentence structure that makes it resistant to misinterpretation.
The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.
