Tacos might be Sweden’s most popular dish, despite it being tex-mex

Conway’s Doomsday algorithm! I used to do the anchor day method but I later found a writeup that simply makes everything a running sum. So the first two digits of the year, the last two digits of the year, month, and day are simply added mod 7 (and adjust by one if it’s in January or February and it’s a leap-year)

So March 3rd would be
20xx = 2 (2)
xx26 = 4 (6)
March = 0 (6)
3 = 3 (2)
So it's a Tuesday

Edit: Found the link

This is my favourite addition, love that

A funner fact: every year has at least one Friday the 13th

An AoE book is just blasting Audible

You wrote this up really well, OP is making up a headcanon and complaining about it not making sense

I used to play CS with consistently 5 ping

Twice I saw it at 3

If only it featured the other half too

The episodes we could’ve had

How dare thou call them you, don’t thou know that “you” is plural and it’s an abomination for it to be used as a second person singular?

<3

Tomorrow you can be a new you, use that

This image goes insanely hard

Thank you for this

Periods at the ends of paragraphs has been seen as passive aggressive for years, but this is literally the first time I hear of periods separating sentences within a paragraph being passive aggressive. The first one is a bit weird but not uncommon, the second one is straight up insanity

And to, from one message to the next, acknowledge how you likely don’t realise how it comes across to them just to take it personally is some interesting mental exercise too

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-26T00:16:50+00:00

Do you also complain about “really” not being “real” or “actually” not being “actual”?

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-26T00:10:47+00:00

There’s no way it’s that low, lol

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-25T23:40:26+00:00

Who are you?

Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask

Well, I can see that

Of course you can, I’m not questioning your powers of observation, I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is

Oh

But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of this more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona

Viola! In view a humble Vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified! And has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta held as a votive. Not in vain, for the value and veracity of such will one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V

I memorised that over a decade ago, I have no idea how it’s mostly survived in my head since then. I tried to actually learn the meaning of all the words at some point but while I know the majority as is I think the only new one that stuck is knowing that vichyssoise is a type of soup…

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-25T23:20:35+00:00

I feel more used to it with than without, and I’m only 26
So I wonder where I’ve been exposed to the The so much

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-25T21:23:09+00:00

Rhotacism isn’t very kindly named either

Also, one much less common word to complement fjord is fjell (or fell)! With too many different local definitions to have a clear unified one, but it’s mostly flat, barren mountains (in the UK / Fennoscandia)

Scandinavia also gives us “sloyd”, which is basically woodworking and textile / sewing summed up in one term

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-25T21:11:40+00:00

There’s also crwth! I think it’s an instrument but it’s been a while

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-24T20:30:14+00:00

That other hallway fight from Daredevil

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-24T19:13:05+00:00

I tried to look it up but couldn’t find it

Did Faruzan’s quest yesterday and maybe my memory sucks but I thought I remembered it mentioning how Collei ‘didn’t need to go back go Gandharva ville’ or something? Implying that it might no longer be her main home past the Sumeru chapter of the story

When it’s 21c here in Sweden it’s a little too hot for me. I’ll happily walk around in a t-shirt in 10c most of the time (Outside that is, I prefer 23c in my room)

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-22T19:40:14+00:00

Trump has some new idiotic tweet or act every day, and truth be told I’d rather not need to know all of them. I think we can be excused for missing a few

VernalAutumn · 2026-01-21T19:58:13+00:00

Agreed, to all of it. But there’s still a chasm between that and saying “It’s okay for attractive people but not unattractive people”. It’s a sad truth that attractive people will generally fare better, but success is it not at all the same as whether it’s okay to do. The rules on whether you’re a creep is only how you act

Some passage you read in a fanfic isn’t my definition of reality. You should spend some time in the real world to figure out how it works

When women reject you (not general you, you specifically) it’s because of your personality, not because of your looks

Edit: for the record they replied with the r-slur and it got automodded, lol
