@lemmy.worldLinguistics. Did you know English and Bengali are related? They share an ancestor about 5000 years ago. Russian, Latin, Farsi, and Greek, and lots more are in that family too.
Do you know what languages are not related at all, absolutely 0% aside from borrowings, even though if you know a bit about em they seem like they should be? Japanese and Korean.
It's always nice to get a positive take on how things are improving in North America. I'm excited to see where things will go in the next 10 years. I just had a conversation with someone the other day about not just "running away" from the problems we have, and actually working to solve them.
What a dumpster fire. Meanwhile, I'm still getting alerts from my local fire department through twitter. Doesn't exactly make me feel safe.
Quran vs new testament is more like Enders Game vs Enders Shadow. Enders Game is about Ender, and Enders shadow is about Bean, but Ender's significance is mentioned.
The ones I got for myself are very orange. The ones I've seen other people buy tho... pretty sure they've been scammed. And some of the pairs are rather expensive too
I was always confused by how the "blue blocking" glasses just looked clear. Like, if you look at something colorful through them like a rubix cube, you can still see the blue color. Shouldn't something blocking blue light look kinda orange through it?
So I noticed this in the user settings (at least here in Liftoff, not sure how it looks elsewhere), but you can set a "display name". Seems like a cool feature.
