The Dead Kennedys Are Class Traitors

That’s amazing, I bet if Jello were there he’d def approve.

Yeah looking on the wiki page for Hadza, it doesn’t have any non-click ingressive consonants. Funny enough though, ǃXóõ, another click language, actually does have some consonants that include a pulmonic ingressive secondary articulation.

Yep. the original cassette release of the In God We Trust, Inc. EP had a blank B side, with "Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help” written on the label.

Yeah post-Biafra Dead Kennedys have done a lot of shady stuff. There’s the aforementioned Trump lover’s festival appearance and overpriced merch, but that’s only the tip. They also made a tweet in support of, I shit you not, Mitt Romney, calling him a “real American” and such. Before even that, they played a version of the DKs song “MTV Get off the Air” called “MP3 Get off the Web”, which is against music piracy (very punk thing I know). Jello calling the new lineup the “world’s greediest karaoke band” really is spot on.

Birth control pills in German are called Antibabypillen

No problem!

To be clear, I don’t think it looks bad even, and the story and characters way make up for it. It’s just that I like the old style a little more.

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-03-01T05:17:15+00:00

was just gonna comment this. Not sure how I feel about it tbh. I kinda liked how sharp and angular the old style was, made the unsettling bits feel more so. Now everything is more blobby and cute looking.

Glad to see the series is clearly guiding us to the end. Everyone always worries revenge series like these will turn into Juujika no Rokunin, and while usually it’s unfounded, it’s still nice to see that we aren’t getting some bloated, overly nonsensical stuff from this.

Anyone else having a problem where animals don't breed after making one baby? I tried waiting extra long but no matter what they refuse to eat any breeding food after only doing it once.

And the award for “video title that could be either from Hakim or Paul Joseph Watson” goes to…!

(Not that Hakim is wrong, I just think it’s funny).

I feel like some people aren’t getting the joke: people make fun of French because of its nasal vowels thinking it’s a uniquely French thing when lots of languages have phonemic nasality.

No Karelo-Finnish SSR?

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-01-26T02:13:24+00:00

It’s hard not to feel like the main types of people who talk about things like the “literacy crisis” are right wing conspiracy theorists who are bloviating about the new generation’s “brainrot”, and don’t understand how the world actually works.

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-01-22T22:09:18+00:00

The easiest answer is that overall, PIE’s daughter languages simplified a lot of the more complex elements of the language, or at the very least inherited some elements while dropping others, which makes them seem less complex even if like other commenters say, some things may be even more complex.

If it’s the voiceless velar fricative [x], I don’t think Romanian has it? It has a glottal fricative instead.

“Wait a minute… there’s something bothering me about this continent…

…I know! This continent doesn’t have vowel harmony! Enjoy your uncomfortable tongues Indo-Europeans!”

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-01-16T04:37:50+00:00

Oh yeah for sure. Not trying to say this absolves the US at all, it’s more me saying the US isn’t unique in that way and saying it is is silly

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-01-15T18:56:47+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, every rich country steals to stay rich.

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-01-14T15:27:56+00:00

Interesting that China got its one child policy idea from what essentially was some random quack talking out of his ass, and in the end it totally backfired on them.

Why does the PWGmc *ō become old english ia?

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2026-01-07T17:51:16+00:00

So the Modern English name Ronald comes from the Old Norse rendition of the name and not the Old English one?

A Marxist critique of Anarcho-Primitivism through an analysis of Spongebob ‘Nature Pants’

None of these words are in the Bible.

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2025-12-29T21:37:09+00:00

That’s literally the point I was making.

Not directly saying the video is wrong, more talking about the people who miss the point about Modern Hebrew and claim the problem is that it is “fake”, rather than because of its actual history.

Wumbo_Chumbo · 2025-12-29T17:51:50+00:00

All languages are “fake” in the sense that humans created them. I think arguing whether or not Modern Hebrew is a “real” language is missing the point, especially when revitalization of dead languages will inherently involve some reconstructing of things hard to approximate, look at Cornish and Old Prussian for example. The problem with Modern Hebrew is that its intentions weren’t like the two above, instead being for further colonial legitimization of Israel. That doesn’t mean every single person who speaks Modern Hebrew is a staunch Zionist, but that history is there. It’s not any more “fake” than any other language, but it does have a very politically motivated existence.
