Shhh, just be careful, Linguistics is addictive. And a gateway to even heavier drugs, like constructed languages!
Jokes aside I get the passion. It’s that sort of field of knowledge that, no matter where you look at, you’ll find something beautiful about it.
Sometimes it’s a small etymology that “clicks” on you, or a speaker using some idiosyncratic variation; sometimes it’s pondering how we humans seized the world because we speak, perhaps as instinctively as the spiders weave webs or the cats destroy furniture. There’s room in Linguistics to be creative, or to be rigorous; to look at the past, or to investigate the present.
Not sure if this is a joke or a legitimate question. I'm on a Kbin fork, not Lemmy, so not sure if you get the rabbit preview picture.
If it was a legit question… it's the "boring fur balls". If it was Playboy Bunnies there'd probably be a lot more stuff about "sexy" and "lady" or "woman" in my description, and nothing about "owners" because I'm not sure Playboy goes to that level of kink. Wouldn't actually know, I'm a woman with no sexual interest in other women, so I've never looked.
It was a legitimate question with quite an amount of joke in it. There is a group about rabbits already in existence IIRC, so I was not sure if this was a real idea to have a bunny in addition to the rabbit group (is there actually a difference?), or if bunny was something, well, totally different.
I actually did use sub.rehab when first coming here, although it may not be obvious by my account history because this is a third account (migrated from kbin.social to kbin.cafe to help out with decentralization/not overloading the big server, now I'm on kbin.run because the instance owner of kbin.cafe disappeared). Searching again today gives only a Squabble link when I look for r/rabbits or r/bunnies alternatives. I can do nothing to fix this because submitting links is currently disabled.
This is the first I'm hearing about Lemmy Explorer, possibly because I'm a Kbin (well, now Mbin, a Kbin fork, because my instance owner swapped to that. Currently trying to find a small instance with an active owner that still runs Kbin, so not the big flagship kbin.social) user. Thank you for sharing.
I have a number of accounts across the lemmyverse, too. Not as sock puppet accounts, as one idiot claimed, but as some instances actually offer different content.
Subscribed! My daughter is super into beavers. Though I don’t want to get into a conversation about what “fucking” means yet, so maybe I’ll be selective which posts I show her.
I used to like Kurz back when he was discussing things I had no knowledge of, but the moment they entered an area where I was experienced in it became clear that it’s primarily on the entertainment side of edutainment.
Nothing they say is explicitly incorrect, just vague and missing critical context.
For example, a video about the potential for a space elevator spoke of an alternative that would require aircraft to be “caught” by an orbital trebuchet style system. The reason the alternative was even conceived was because we don’t have the material for a space elevator given our planet’s high gravity well. During the discussion Kurz let it slip that the system would require an aircraft to fly at MACH 12!
If materials science has developed the technology for an aircraft that could fly that quick with atmospheric friction… We’d just be able to make a space elevator anyways.
