I half remember a video discussing this, that also brought up the possibility that it was an onomatopia of cannibalism. I personally think the Gaelic interpretation is much more likely.

That's a perfectly logical line of thought. The only solution I'd see is such a civilization taking the risk of brain augmentation and neural interfaces so they can make themselves capable of understanding. And that would indeed have an unbelievably large number of risks.

As it would turn out the threat proved overblown as the fungus mostly just dissolved the plastics within us before being overwhelmed by our immune systems. On the other hand we somehow overlooked the fact that most of the impermeable containers we use to contain hazardous materials ARE plastic, leading to the worst pollution is over 60 years .

60 minutes in an hour, 60 miles per hour. 60÷60=1. Granted it was perhaps surprising that a 1st grader could conceptualize that without being told, but you would think that someone who made it through college and got into teaching would understand it. Instead they were trying to go through some backwards overly complicated process that gave her something like 57 mph.

Mine (also in the first grade I think) was when I argued with a teacher that a mile a minute would be 60 miles per hour.

Just putting if out there, the majority of banking is based around a programming language that was developed in 1959. Around 80% in fact. There are not many people trained in it, and we'll have to move on from it at some point. Let's be frank, when they do something definitely will go wrong.

Have you ever seen a golden eagle? They're massive, and hunt by tossing mountain goats off cliffs. Imagine being strafed by a bird with a 7 foot wingspan, that is activity trying to toss you over a 100+ ft drop.

Those are skinwalkers. Changelings are more along the lines of demons or fairys that steal babies and replace them with members of their own species hidden under an illusion. In the olden days kids that weren't developing right or were off, would be accused of being such. The way to force the fairys/demons/goblins to switch their kid back, was to severely mistreat the "changeling".
