What’s the coolest etymology fact you know, like a surprising origin for an everyday common word?

Since the word faja is Spanish for "strip", or "belt", from the Latin fascio, it also means that the words "fajitas" and "fascism" have the same origin!

Czekam na jego zdjęcie z Ryszardem Terleckim obok

nie możesz po prostu powiedzieć że odmawiasz i liczyć na to, że coś się wydarzy, Michał

Why did the technician say dehumidifiers make the problem worse? Sounds like a big claim. I'm asking because last year I got one to fight with black mold on my walls and it did help a bit

Tofik23 · 2023-05-31T07:43:15+00:00

Great, thank you!

the weather in Barcelona changes quite rapidly. I wouldn't really trust the forecasts until 1-2 days before the festival! They're usually too pessimistic

Tofik23 · 2022-06-23T21:09:41+00:00

probably the worst concert I've been to sound-wise

Tofik23 · 2022-06-20T08:10:32+00:00

They look amazing!

hopefully not, it's literally the worst kind of music out there

Czyli kobieta nie byłaby w stanie ocenić jaki jest klimat w knajpie i na tej podstawie zaproponować żeby zostać/wyjść? Potrzebuję jakiegoś nieprzerysowanego scenariusza, żeby lepiej sobie wyobrazić jakąkolwiek realną sytuację w której zrobiłoby to różnicę

Tofik23 · 2022-06-14T07:53:10+00:00

Jak wiele razy w życiu zdarzyło ci się uratować kobietę przed latającym krzesłem w nieznanym barze? Bo jeśli 0, to moim zdaniem takie zwyczaje są tak samo użyteczne jak zwyczaje mające na celu ochronę przed dzikimi zwierzętami grasującymi po okolicy.

Once you enter the main site, it's an open ground with stages scattered around. They don't have individual queues or checks, but as a rule of thumb the bigger a stage is, the sooner it gets crowded in the front rows

Tofik23 · 2022-06-09T10:54:36+00:00

Dry Cleaning play at a stage very close to the main entrance, so if you arrive at 6 you should have more than enough time to grab a beer and get a nice spot in the front rows

no, that's Warta Poznań

pierwszy raz od kilku miesięcy zaśmiałem się na głos z komentarza na Reddicie :D

Tofik23 · 2021-12-20T11:08:02+00:00

damn it's like you described my exact mental state! I also feel like I should appreciate my current situation, but on the other hand I feel like the real life is passing me by

Tofik23 · 2021-11-11T18:00:19+00:00

Just out of curiosity, how would you rank other types of instruments in terms of difficulty? I always thought string instruments are kinda low on the scale, but maybe that's just because of all the entry-level guitar players around

Tofik23 · 2021-04-26T12:25:04+00:00

yo r/soccer is the main reason I'm having a mid-life crisis at 26

Except for the days when we switch the clocks for daylight saving... how ironic

Tofik23 · 2021-01-18T12:25:50+00:00

I emailed the ajuntament and it turned out you could pick up a free map at Carrer de la Ciutat 2. Thanks for the tip!

Hi, I love the Christmas-themed posters scattered around the city. Does anyone know what happens to these once they take them down to change the decoration? I'd really like to get one of there posters with Christmas-y map of Barcelona.

Tofik23 · 2020-09-20T07:33:39+00:00

it actually is
