imgprojts, in Don't worry, ladies, I got this

Big chairs… Must have a small one and he’s trying to make up for it. That’s what I would have thought of I went to church. But I don’t. I can now think other things 😜.

cyberpunk007,

But were you trying to get ladies whilst doing so?

Making sonic memes and saying bazinga is gay because anything outside of the actual sexual preference is socially constructed “performance norms” and I can make up whatever the fuck I want.

Siegfried, in An industry shouldn't have multiple human rights watch reports about working conditions

I’m kind of pissed with people trying to push they mediocre agendas through memes. You have an opinion? Grow a pair and publish it in c/politicalmemes /s

RenownedBalloonThief,

No

Her neck I think. But it took a second to realize that lol.

HenriVolney, in Toyota Hilux is best lux

All sorts of armed rebels in the Sahel too

Mamertine, in me_irl

Nah, it’s because you ordered the ice cream drink and the bartender does not want to have to clean the fucking blender again for your $1 tip.

Raz, in those ppl...

I don’t need it! I can stop whenever I want, man!

PopcornPrincess, in Lucky me?

Hang in there bud. One day at a time.

XbSuper, in Asking the hard questions

They probably wear hats designed for aliens, not humans. So none of the above.

LordOfLocksley, in diminishing returns but here's day 5 of stock photos memes

Those are spring onions though, not leeks

Varyk, in Wtf duolingo

To be fair, I just tried to get back into duolingo a few days ago and it is straight up bonkers trash now.

I learned many languages on it and I am incredibly disappointed that after I took a few years off traveling and came back, it is basically unusable at this point.

TheRealLinga,

Maybe that’s the point of the new app icon? To say the app is melting?

Varyk,

Either that or Halloween or both.

I think you’re right.

Here’s something I’ve been wondering: in Aliens, weren’t the Marines joking about the possibility of the creature on LV-426 being just a xenomorph? This suggested it was a kind of creature they’d encountered before, and wasn’t a major threat.

How did the Aliens come to be known as xenomorphs?

The simplest answer is that I’m remembering things wrong. If not, though, wtf?

MajorMajormajormajor,

I took that as they have encountered other species before, just nothing like the creature from the Alien franchise. The term xenomorph is just used to describe any creature not found on Earth, aka aliens.

This is backed by an earlier comment made during Ripley’s hearing with the company:

Insurance attorney: Are there any species like this hostile organism on LV-426? ECA representative: No, it’s a rock. No indigenous life.

Which would indicate they have encountered other aliens, just not this Alien.

The creature was named both Alien and Xenomorph because that’s what it is, but came to define the names and took “ownership” of the names, if you will.

Okay. Thank you! I like the “xenomorph is a generic term” explanation. It works with the way people actually use language.

octoperson,

Alien is a stupid name for an alien when you stop to think about it. Just like with the creature in Frankenstein, people are going to grab at any alternate name presented, cos it’s just too awkward to talk about otherwise.
