Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

They have a point. Mostly like several. Repeatedly being stuck into their chest and tearing bits out of them. (lemmy.world)

Now you're going to tell me that bison is singular even though it has bi for two in it

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

They're called "bison" because they weigh at least as much as two sons kissing (non-related).

At least "octopuses" is correct.

English is such a dumb fucking language. I really hope we reform it some day to reduce the time future generations waste learning all the stupid exceptions to every single rule

Well... there WAS a point in time where english could have been replaced by German as THE international language...

[–] wieson@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think this factoid gets spun out of proportion. Iirc German could ve become the language of science or one field of science. But it was never a contender for the language of trade or diplomacy (the latter being held by french for a long time).

This was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to a time period from roughly the late 30s to the mid 40s of the last century... but of course you are correct 😉
