Daerun, in Plates

Hypothesis: they are really all face up, but if you read about them being face down before paying attention to the picture your brain turns them face down until one of them triggers the correct position.

Kase,

My brain must be stupid cuz I looked at the picture first and they looked face down :/

Daerun,

No, it’s just that there is no reference, so it is perfectly possible to see them facing down in the first place before reading.

Awesome! I needed something like this to get the dire straits song out of my head from an earlier meme

MrZigZag,

It's like getting a meme for nothing and the comments for free.

flambonkscious,

You beautiful bastard

If you’re a ‘modern’ artist like Damien hirst or Tracy emin, you must behold this genius and feel your whole life was wasted.

Oh, wait, lots of people do that already.

I didnt know about Pronghorns or Okapi until this morning. The bedrock and java edition of java are different but bedrock actually has a wonderful level of convenience to it that I feel jealous of. I also saved about a dozen memes and they’re probably all about being gay or something idk.

Midwestern gang out here saying the l in palm

SendMePhotos,

… Are you not supposed to?

ThatWeirdGuy1001,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

According to my English teacher who grew up in California no.

Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm

Kase,

This was mega confusing at first bc I just realized I do not pronounce the L in palm or calm. So they do rhyme… but it’s like pom/com

smeg,

Seeing what people with different accents think rhymes is wild. Calm, farm and palm all rhyme but sound nothing like com or pom!

can,

Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm

That’s not really how things work. How did she think they were “supposed” to be pronounced?

ThatWeirdGuy1001,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

Like you’d pronounce pom poms

Uncle_Bagel,

I pronounce both without the l. It just feels so clunky to say

SendMePhotos,

But pom can also rhyme with palm. Same female vowel. 😂🙃

can,

In my accent they’re similar but not the same.

smeg,

It is, but not the way you think - you* don’t pronounce the L in either. Calm, palm, balm, farm, harm all rhyme.

*obviously you do, I speak nothing but the Queen’s!

ButtCheekOnAStick, in Me shitpost

Drugs and alcohol have taken their toll, mmmkay?

woobie, (edited ) in What the hell! Let's all just go crazy!

I already do this with the word “solder” which confuses my fellow Americans greatly. They seem to think I’m lying that the L is sounded out in some other English speaking countries.

I just think the American pronunciation (SAW-dur) sounds wrong.

ThatOneBatTurd,

What area of the country are you in? I’m on the West Coast and the normal pronunciation is with the L. Pronunciations often depend on region though

moonsnotreal,
@moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

In New England I’ve only ever heard it without the L (like “sodder”).

ThatOneBatTurd,

That makes sense given the region

woobie,

I’m on the west coast, Northern California. Huh.

toynbee,

I don’t solder, so I’m no expert, but I’ve only ever heard it pronounced “sodder” (though agreed, leaving out the “l” sound is an odd choice).

matter,

In UK/Australia/NZ we pronounce it as written, with the l.

woobie,

It was friends and YouTube content creators from the UK that made me realize that dropping the L isn’t done everywhere else. I grew up thinking that it was just one of those English words that break all the pronunciation rules.

isthingoneventhis,

I am today years old learning that it was spelled with an L and not just a D.

seth, (edited )

That’s a lot or a little or a standard amount of years! And, still will be and is if people read or are reading these comments years from now. Or before now.

IndefiniteBen,

Out of all the different ways Americans pronounce words differently, hearing sodder is the only one that makes me cringe.

“hilgh”

pirat, (edited )

That’s almost blackcurrant in Danish: solbær (meaning “sunberries”)

dingus, (edited )

I’m in the US and I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it “SAW-dur” in person or in any form of media. You are supposed to pronounce the L in the General American accent.

If you use Google’s word pronunciation tools, both General American and Received Pronunciation pronounce the L in soldier.

Edit: I like the downvotes to all my comments without anyone showing me people pronouncing it that way.

nilloc,

Not really, it’s the same as caulk.

dingus,

Can you link me a to a clip or a pronunciation source that has someone pronouncing it like that? I’ve never heard that anywhere in my life. I’m guessing it’s a less common accent.

NucleusAdumbens,

I think this is a misunderstanding. The poster you’re replying to is talking about solder, not soldier (which you wrote, assuming that’s the word you meant). Solder, as in a soldering iron, is pronounced Saw-dur in the US. Ya dingus 😉

dingus,

Lmao thank you! This is the comment I was looking for. Calling me out for being stupid and making a mistake instead of downvoting without explanation!

Pregnenolone,

Couldn’t even wait longer than an hour to complain about downvotes.

Kase,

Not to be confused with soljer soldier

SwingingTheLamp,

You say that, but there’s the anachronistic nautical slang “soger” for an inept or lazy sailor. It came from the soldiers assigned to British navy ships, who did not participate in the sailing of the vessel.

I always find it odd that Americans pronounce it so weirdly, but that’s different cultures with different fresh takes on our language I suppose.

The best time to hit someone in a fight is right when they’re taking their shirt off. They can’t see and their arms are stuck in their sleeves. If they’re going to make it easy for you, take advantage of it.

Diabolo96, (edited ) in Is this bojack?

I haven’t watched Bojack in a few years and while it was a great show it was getting really unbearable to watch . No matter what bojack did, they needed him to stay miserable to continue the show. I was almost relieved when it ended because despite bojack best efforts it was a constant piling of ways to make his life as miserable as possible and every glimmer of hope for a redemption arc was a mean to later beat down the character even further. In the end, what i took from the show was that no matter what you do you’ll fuck it so hard it’s gonna hunt you forever later so just end it already. Watching the show while depressed will surely push you further into depression.

Speculater,
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

They did the same thing with East Bound and Out. Like what the hell man, where’s the redemption arc.

wreckedcarzz,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

I actually really liked the show, and it hit on really dark shit that I can absolutely relate to; and I’m disabled and have been fighting depression for a long time. The day I became disabled, my life ended, and I’m just waiting out the clock until by early demise; but I enjoyed bh.

Diabolo96,

I did enjoy it a lot too and I am pretty much like in your case. It’s well written, the characters are all great but the main character started as miserable and ended up as even more miserable despite his many attempts at trying to fix things. I didn’t expect happy story but every time bojack tries something to fix his life it ends up horribly horribly wrong. It was getting so bad that I jokingly thought that if they continued like this there will be a scene where bojack will be helping an old women cross the street, she randomly get hit by car and the writers will frame it as to blame bojack for the accident.

RGB3x3,

I think you missed the point because he didn’t end up more miserable. He ended up better than he was, in little ways, sure, but in real ways. That’s the point of the show, that life isn’t some sitcom where everything gets wrapped up nicely.

There’s always more show (life). The characters keep living, Bojack continues to struggle, but every day, he gets a little better.

@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

The darkest episodes where my favorite episodes tho. The 2nd to last episode, the old sugarman place and times arrow are prob my top 3 episodes and all 3 of them are dark AF.

Times arrow was so good I immediately rewatched it after it ended.
