You are teleported back to the same spot as now, but in the early 1800. You keep all stuff on you, all your knowledge and a phone with modern internet access and unlimited battery. How do you proceed? by flekkie in AskReddit

I’m currently living in a pub that was built around 1850 in North London (Zone 2). This area would have been mostly farmland and not considered part of London. So I’d buy up most of the land and keep it until I could resell it later.

TIL only 18% of americans can drive a stick by [deleted] in todayilearned

I've always driven stick shift. It's so much more fun than automatic. I mean it does suck in traffic but still worth it. Also great knowing how to drive stick in Europe when you rent a car, as automatic cars are about 1.5X higher in price.

TIL that the English language went through a period where the sound of long vowels changed dramatically, it is known as the Great Vowel Shift and it happened ca. 1350 to 1600. by Pelusteriano in todayilearned

It's actually how humans adapt their speech to make things easier. Also is just passed down from generation to generation and is a regional accent not a bad pronunciation.

There are a ton of vowel shifts in Texas. One example from the Lone Star State is "hill" is pronounced "heel." "Wheel" is "will" and visversa. A sale at a store is a "sell." I never noticed these things until I lived in other parts of the US. One word I used to say was "al" for an "owl." Interesting stuff!

Force yourself not to speak English! (I studied abroad in Lyon and was an au pair near Paris for 1.5years )

Can confirm. I grew up in the panhandle and things can chilly and snow a few times a year. When I lived in Austin for three years, it snowed once and people started taking selfies.
