Tis the season

  • Random apostropheing?

    • TIL Statistically, there are 2 popes per square kilometer in the Vatican city

  • Statistically, there are a million me per square km in the square meter around me.

    • Good enough for me

  • Honest question. What is the origin/reason of this fashion to prevent the use of capitals?

    • What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?

  • Newborn baby girls can experience a phenomenon called "false menses" or "mini-periods" due to a sudden drop in maternal estrogen after birth, causing slight vaginal bleeding or a blood-tinged discharge that typically lasts only a few days.

    • Chaotic evil

  • Et tu, Wikipedia?

    • What's an example of something that usually goes unnoticed when done well but very noticeable when done poorly or not done at all?

  • Proofreading.

    • TIL Amou Haji, known as the "world’s dirtiest man", avoided bathing for over 60 years due to a superstition. After villagers finally convinced him to wash, he died just weeks later at the age of 94.

  • "But, local media say, Amou Haji finally succumbed to pressure and washed a few months ago.

    According to Iran's IRNA news agency, he became ill shortly afterwards and died on Sunday."

    • What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?

  • Reading the answers to this questions, I'd say "Not understanding the meaning of most people".

    • I'm gay and I dunno what it means

  • The hair was the same initially, but the one in the right likes it on twenty nails and rough.

    • I freed 30GB using Filelight

  • No one showing love for ncdu around here?

    • tig ol bitties

  • "A mastodon, (from Ancient Greek μαστός (mastós), meaning "breast, and ὀδούς (odoús) "tooth")"

    • tig ol bitties

  • Just wait till you know the etymology of mastodon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon

    Edit to save a click: "A mastodon, (from Ancient Greek μαστός (mastós), meaning "breast, and ὀδούς (odoús) "tooth")"

    Edit 2: the "mast" in "mastodon" is the same one as in "mastectomy"

    • This a new one: Banned for abbreviating New York Times to NYT in a comment.

  • Nope, that's Latin ;)

    • What's a handy terminal command you use often?

  • ncdu

    • Linguistics

  • I thought you couldn't be snob and captain obvious at the same time, but here we are.

    On the other hand, with your degree in linguistics are you granted a special permission to use random capitals?

    • Porque no los Dos?

  • De nadela

    • Porque no los Dos?

  • *por qué

    • You can't cd or ls in a folder if you have no +x permissions on it. That is all. I wasted 3 hours of my life.

  • A friend of mine told me a long time ago: "if a windows system is behaving funny, it has to do with virus. If a Linux system is behaving funny, it has to do with permissions"

    • Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police

  • What I see here is a cop trained to shoot to kill at the slightest chance.

    I mean, if I ever visit this country and a policeman interacts with me I will pee my pants. Literally*.

    *You know, like what "literally" meant in the old times.

    • Texas inmates soaking bedsheets in toilet water to cool off in unairconditioned prisons

  • Prison is meant to rehabilitate, not punish.

    Is it? Not being sarcastic. In my country that's what prisons are supposed to be to. But does it say somewhere in the USA "law" (quotes because I'm not sure that's the proper word to use here) that states that rehabilitation is the goal of prisons?
