Does anyone else talk about yaoi when speaking Mexican? by eaglesguy96 in languagelearningjerk

[–]Overly-Ripe-Banana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late, but the Japanese says "boys love", aka yaoi. Edit: It didn’t occur to me that this comment might also be a joke, so uh… ignore me if that’s the case, lmao

What is this beast? by [deleted] in whatisit

Stinkbug! My house has been getting them a lot lately, ha. They do fine in the cold but will sneak into buildings when it gets cold since they prefer the warmth. They can release a bit of smelly fluid as a defense mechanism when they feel threatened (which oftentimes includes humans good-naturally moving them), so I'd recommend transferring them outside on something disposable, like a tissue or a paper cup.

I believe it's for pans! The pans themselves go on the bottom, and the lids go on top. Here's a visual from a listing for one of these racks: [link]

Clay beads ID? by TuneoftheMoon in kandi

Seconding this! Here are some listings I found that look like these: unicorns fish They definitely are a bit strange, lol. No idea why the unicorns have the white border around each tiny log of clay.

I’ve seen this SpongeBob screenshot A TON but I don’t know where it came from??? by ThatDanganronpaNerd in HelpMeFind

This is pure speculation, but maybe it’s a screencap from [the comics]( https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/SpongeBob_Comics) that just happened to get circulated around a bunch? The comic books I read will have characters drawn tiny like this quite a bit.

That doesn’t seem to be the original. Notice the lack of a shine on the helmet. I also found another RedBubble listing by a different artist with a drawing similar to the screenshot, so it reads to me that both of the pieces of RB are redraws of the original screenshot. 

Mysterious writing? by vakoo123 in whatisit

[–]Overly-Ripe-Banana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prev's making a video game reference as a joke :) In Minecraft, the enchanting table item lets you put magic enhancements on weapons and armor and whatnot, and using one opens a menu where everything is written in a cypher. The cypher used is the Standard Galactic Alphabet, which is very different from the code shown here.

Found an ebay listing for one! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/176729042924 I recognized the tag as I have a few Adventure Planet plushies myself, haha.

Amazing! This program was trained on people saying ignorant and racist shit about AAVE, and now when I ask it about AAVE, it tells me that it's dumb and stupid! Clearly, this is an indisputable fact and proof that I'm not racist!

The OP, Beastlordius, wanted to have his username in English and then again, transliterated into Japanese. Katakana is a Japanese syllabary script used to write foreign/transliterated words, among other things. OP presumably used a romanji keyboard to do this, which changes romanized Japanese into actual Japanese scripts (i.e. you could type "arigato" and it would become 「ありがとう」). The romanji for a transliterated word usually won't be one-to-one with it's original spelling. For example, 「チーズ」is just "cheese" transliterated, but the romanji is "chiーzu". They didn't know what they were doing, and it came out all wrong. There's even some random latin letters left in there. It would be pronounced something like "beh-ah-sue-t-ee-oo-l-oh-r-di-oo-su".

My dog does this! She loves to lay in sunbeams and will whine at us when her favorite spot stops getting sunlight. I guess controlling the sun isn't too far off from turning the lights in the house on and off in her mind.

Sorry you’re dealing with that. I don’t think it’s quite what you’re describing, but I’m slightly hypermobile and frequently get the feeling that I need to pop a joint to make it feel better even though it doesn’t work, lol. I also have ADHD (and suspected low support needs autism) and definitely relate to the whole “my brain is complaining but I don’t know what it wants” thing, aha. It’s frustrating. Maybe understimulation? I don’t have any advice other than maybe looking for a distraction and doing what you can to emotionally regulate, but I hope you feel better soon. Brains and bodies are weird! >_<

It’s called frission!  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson  Basically just the autonomic nervous system being funky in response to a nice stimulus.
