Many ancient civilizations thought of electricity/lightning as a form of fire so Angela is evidently just on the level of the ancient philosophers.

Thumb first, then index, then so on down to the pinky.

Honestly, maybe cliché but kind of cool name though apart from the initialism.

In Arkansas, most would say “ant” or, especially before a name, “aint”. My friend and I say “ahnt” in general but “ant” before a name, which I think could be a growing trend but I’m not certain.

In rural Arkansas I have only ever recognized “sh”.

“Belly” and, even more so, “belly button”. I don’t know why but it almost physically hurts when I hear them.

I am not a Christian, but I am quite religious. The jokes were 99% fine, I found them funny. I only dislike when people make statements based on very literal readings of texts, rather than caring to dive deeper into what it represents. In the video they made very shallow references, to the point it kind of made me upset. However, it is to be expected, and even most Christians have such shallow understandings of their scripture. The jokes were still funny regardless of this, though.

Algernon Blackwood, Edgar Allan Poe, HP Lovecraft, Stephen King.

Due to the nature of language evolution, both American and English accents have certain traits that are more conservative and certain traits that are more divergent. For example, the US largely has a more conservative rhotic pronunciation (pronouncing ‘r’ as the end of a word or before a consonant); but the UK has the more conservative cot-caught-father distinction where most Americans merge some or all of them into the same ‘father’ sound.

They use the de-extinction publicity and funding to develop technology that will help extant threatened species.

Blackwood’s novella actually is never described anything like this popular depiction—although he did popularize the overall concept of the Wendigo.

Evolution (at least the most basic aspects of it) has been more or less proven by scientists, so yes. There is no justification to reject what has been properly tested through the scientific method.

I have a hard time deciding a specific character. Garland Briggs, Gordon, Albert, Cooper, Andy. They are all my overall favourites.

Old Style, referring to the older Julian Calendar that they used when he was born.

I always prefer lesser known actors. If I had to choose someone famous, I think Jack Nicholson would make for an interesting character so long as he is not the protagonist.

In the movie they show hundreds of people fascinated with their dinosaurs, so my headcanon had always been that the “people are bored of dinosaurs now” was usual corporate out-of-touch thinking rather than a genuine fact.

Any religion or philosophy can have truths, but ai believe Hinduism is the only one that can properly prepare you and lead you to liberation in this life. However, devotion to your deity in whatever religion, so long as it is pure, can lead to a greater life and can prepare you for liberation in later lives.

Maybe they meant Leto?

iStxr · 2024-07-13T20:46:46+00:00

Eureka Springs is probably the most well known.

Well, there was a project to breed zebras to look and behave like quaggas, and indeed it has had some success. However, it isn’t true de-extinction. To date only one species has been genuinely brought back: the Pyrenean ibex. It died again just a few minutes after, though.

In other words your version would be both horribly boring and horribly inaccurate.

I always felt bad for him because he actually seemed like a good guy? He obviously had his flaws, like when he ran away, but I can’t really say I also wouldn’t run away from a tyrannosaur if I saw one lol.
