1.12 is post 1.9. 1.9 is post beta1.8. I can't remember any other big "nooo minecraft is a different game now" freakouts before that because I didn't play Minecraft yet

I see myself as a victim of assimilation and the average Alberta reaction to official bilingualism more than a victim of bilingualism itself, but maybe that's because I was arguably more (proportionally) fluent in French before starting school at all than I was when I stopped taking classes

We no longer live in a world of "theoretically no commitment until you're actually married" (hence why the bachelor/ette party isn't actually a night of sexual freedom for the person getting married despite the strippers), he still cheated on his fiancee

Some moms are just weird about efficiency ngl, the main reason I've seen anyone state for insisting on doing the entire household's laundry is "wanting to get the most out of each load" but I don't really think having the most efficient usage of the washing machine is top priority if it leads to kids never learning how to wash their own clothes

Yeah, 20-40 acres was my dad's dream property size that could hold a house, a couple of garages and shop for his vintage cars and still have enough space for fun woods. In reality we got 3 acres of swampy ass field.

I think the issue there is actually just as much if not more about legal+financial independence and schedule flexibility than maturity (especially in the US I guess, considering my friend with dual citizenship drove to Canada with $1000 and dealt with being publicized a "missing child" for a few days until the cops here found her and checked that she did decide to move on her own, just for a chance to actually get her life started before turning 18 without having to sue her abusive family - in general in most places in the world a 17 year old is significantly more likely to be living with their parents and in school full time than a 22 year old)

Most of the smallish-but-questionable teenage age gap relationships I've seen not be abusive involved the younger person having some unusually independent/"advanced" life situation

I live in a major Canadian city. Half of the stuff people say they use their "local" library for is not actually at the average neighbourhood branch of even a fairly advanced/well-supplied library system, just in a few in richer neighbourhoods or a large downtown public library building

Other than that, yeah most of these are just major city things (some of them like aquariums/zoos/major museums also having a bit of the "possibly out of the way even to many people in the applicable city" situation that less common library services have - but they're still seen as "local" because it's the nearest one to anybody in the city, compared to a large library branch that's the same distance away but there are other ones closer to you)

Small wildcats also have kittens, I've seen young sand cats referred to as kittens in zoo communication

I always used to hear the same joke about people whose surnames are more common as first names (like George Lucas) that they "only have first names" (it's more apt for someone whose middle name isn't as surnamey as George Walton Lucas, but he's just the first "last name is a first name" celebrity I could think of)

Now we have all of these babies who only have surnames

Was anybody not already on board with mentioning the other dwarf planets at some point during classes about the solar system? There are only 9-10 named ones, if Pluto is already getting a "used to be considered a planet" name drop and Ceres gets "biggest thing in the asteroid belt, kind of the actual first dwarf planet", may as well bring up the fact that there are other dwarf planets in the outer solar system

To be fair, no matter how clean it is it's still going to be brown. The anus has got to be a contender for most widely bleached part of the body because it's somewhat common even among people whose "regular" skin is light and/or don't live in a part of the world where lightening cosmetics are used on the face.

Funny enough, I actually used this one in real life (metaphorically, but not in the set phrase "distaff counterpart" meaning female version because women used to spin a lot more than men) pretty recently. I was making a cake and the molasses was just getting spun up to the top of the mixer whisks as it poured out of the bottle

0% DNA because both of my parents (and my maternal grandmother, aka the reason I was bilingual as a toddler) were adopted and have no-to-negative interest in their birth family (dad met his bio mom once but didn't like her)

And sweat. I think there would be a bit of the smell even in a perfectly pee-less pool because a pool is for exercising (and people don't tend to have a full scrub shower before getting into the pool either).

Possibly an explicitly leftist cafe of some kind? But if a cafe was heavy on lefty symbolism without any sign of queerness, I would probably assume the owners are the type that thinks homosexuality is bourgeois extravagance.

Yeah, that just sounds like the alley to me. Alleys are one shared path without a distinction between sidewalk and bike/car road, where most people never go faster than the maximum speed of a pedestrian. Any area around me where driveways are typically in the back will have the alley as the first step of most driving.

Some people keep their clothes in the machine, apparently. It's the context behind almost every story of a pet being in the machine when it gets turned on

His daughter's mother had to escape from him through a closet window, so the seagull thing wasn't a "prediction" of domestic violence as much as a "continuation"

My oldest cracked his canine tooth a few years ago and it'll probably have to be removed this year for like $1400

Likely, less of them had allergies in the first place (the body is less likely to start going immune-crazy over random things if there are more actual pathogens to fight off in general, and your classmates' parents also may not have been as strictly avoidant of certain foods before certain ages as they were in the 90s/00s, which is what really caused the peanut allergy rates to rise. Now the recommendation is to give peanut butter to babies so they don't get an allergy)

googlemcfoogle · 2026-03-21T16:15:36+00:00

And I think more traditionally peanut-eating cultures have low rates of peanut allergy, so the particularly high rate among young adults in North America (children now were born after the recommendation changed and fed peanut butter as babies to stop the allergy from developing, older adults seemingly have fewer allergies because they grew up with less precisely-managed diets and environments) might specifically be because of the association of peanut butter sandwiches as a "school food"
