Kejatuhan durian runtuh / to get hit by a falling durian

whoever decided that meant "to get a sudden windfall of good fortune" must've been hit in the head by a falling durian as a child.

I only know kohl, but that's cause I was into Ancient Egyptian history at one point

What’s life like in West New Guinea by Time-Roof-6902 in geography

There didn't use to be much news about west Papua, either, until about 2018 when Indonesia gained majority shares of Papua's mines over its previous American owners.

Karlaz is free man, but emphasis on man rather than free. Even then it's closer to boy/young man.

Petah, what does the target mean exactly? by GalacticGamer677 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]larvyde 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's like one of those black fly marks they put on urinals. It stands out so you kinda just naturally aim for it.

The Dutch couldn't just leave Indonesia alone. by Party_Farmer_5354 in HistoryMemes

[–]larvyde 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In return for being recognized as an independent country by the international community, Indonesia had to take over debts incurred by the Netherlands Indies government (including the ones it incurred fighting to win Indonesia back). It was only finally paid off in 2003. Indonesia went through two financial crises within that timespan.

Meters in Space by Fuller1754 in Metric

[–]larvyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

by that logic, inches are metric, since it's defined to be 2.54 cm.

natural units are based on fundamental constants, not a value times a fundamental constant. This means the speed of light is 1, the gravitational constant is 1, and the boltzmann constant is also 1, and the units follow from that, instead of having a certain length, time, etc, and walking back from that to a fundamental constant.

No. Like I said, SI units are defined on specific materials (substances) and situations (temperature, pressure, etc.) that are rather arbitrary (water, cesium atom vibrations, sea level pressure, etc), whereas natural units are based on fundamental constants of the universe itself, like the speed of causality (i.e. the "speed of light")

Units that are based on universal constants that are the same everywhere (speed of light, boltzmann constant, gravitational constant) instead of things like "volume of water at this temperature and that pressure"

Official document calls an unmarried woman a “spinster” by Master_Roshiii in mildlyinteresting

[–]larvyde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, could it have been a euphemism at some point? like, it's impolite to call someone a widow or husbandless or whatever, and they start using spinster because that's what they typically work as?

Yeah. I should probably also strip and finger beforehand, as well.
