Norgur, in Jaunty

The last appearance of "Keck" I came across:
Doch auch am nächsten Tach - ach, du Schreck! -
wird ab acht wieder keck das Dach gedeckt.

MelastSB,

Is there an alphabetical list of ambiguous terms somewhere or did you spend way too long on this (and I respect you for it)?

Subverb,

Just a quick ChatGPT query, sorry.

ZoopZeZoop, (edited )

They’re called homnyms. A quick internet search probably does yield a list.

Kusimulkku, in Jaunty

Kek is used instead of lol on 4chan a lot.

Natanael,

Cryptographers use it for “key encryption key”, and they’re a subtype of nerd

Oh! That’s why my mouth is so dry!!! I’ll go get water… but first I just need to finish this thing that…

NocturnalMorning, in Recording Audiobooks. Help me. [ADHDinos]

I just had a task last night with this. I was so dehydrated my nose started getting stuffed up.

Question: if it started in 2020 and it’s arguably going stronger than ever, is it still a hyperfixation?

Only if it constantly overrides other obligations. I was fixated on a project to the exclusion of nearly everything for a couple years. It wasn’t healthy. But I succeeded at least lol.

irmoz,

You’re probably joking but yes, they can be long-term

Kyrgizion,

Ok cool, I thought at that point they became ‘regular’ obsessions.

octoperson,

May be a special interest? I don’t know if there’s a clear cut distinction, or where it would be, or if it’s even useful to make one.

thorbot, in Recording Audiobooks. Help me. [ADHDinos]

These poor dinos have so many serious health issues, no wonder they went extinct

pastermil,

The stress caused by that asteroid catastrophe probably spawned these mental issues. Poor things…

jaschen, in Recording Audiobooks. Help me. [ADHDinos]

I got pretty good at holding my pee too… And poop.

Would’ve been better if you hinted that the mother was German too. Like, have him refer to her as “Oma” or something.

Like, idk about where, but in American English, if you’ve got a 1st-gen grandparent, a lot of English-only kids refer to them by the terms in their grandparents language. Especially Greeks, Germans, and Latin-Americans.

Wow, didn’t know that! Might just fix it later, thanks for the input!

jasondj,

I think most Americans know who Oma, Abuela, and Ya-Ya are, just from cultural immersion. Can’t speak for the rest of the world.

Frostbeard, in Jaunty

Kek came from the game not allowing cross faction communication. When horde said lol, the game spelled kek for the Alliance

Squirrel,

The reverse is “bur”, right? Not sure if I remember correctly.

noerdman,
@noerdman@feddit.de avatar

Yeah, but try to fit that into that single panel… The writing is enough of an issue already ;)

Pothead effect

HollandJim, (edited ) in The 'not enough coffee' effect

It’s called “age”.

Get used to it. It comes for us all.

kionite231,

Me who is 19 😦

HollandJim,

You’re just starting. Pace yourself; with luck it’s a good long ride.

XbSuper,

The doorway effect is a real thing. If you say what you’re doing as you pass through doorways, you won’t have this problem.

HollandJim,

Good to know (as long as you’re not preoccupied).
