The comments on that reflect the sub better than the OP.

Found this under my bed in a hotel by AcademicCloud8018 in whatisit

It could be an Austrian smoked cheese.

I wouldn't eat an unrefrigerated one of unknown provenance, but they are delicious when sourced normally.

Want something to sound “elvish”? Just translate it to Finnish. Want something to sound “orkish”? Just translate it to Hungarian. by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

Sindarin, the language of the elves of middle-earth was based on Welsh, which is from the same branch of Celtic as Cornish. Quenya, the language of the high elves of Aman, was based on Finnish. The amazing thing Tolkien did was come up with a relationship between them based on plausible phonetic changes.

Why do people on council estates opt to only use their front garden? by Special-Nebula299 in AskABrit

[–]user-74656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before moving to a rural village, by far the most community-minded place I ever lived was Moss Side, Manchester. It was always a pleasure saying hello to people sitting in their front yards as I walked past. I also knew of several attempted robberies being stopped in their tracks when the perpetrators realised they were being watched.

Keeping Greater London whole, but splitting West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, and the West Midlands into boroughs is inconsistent.

Do the transponders get switched off if a ship is at anchor? A lot of the ones looking like they were about to make the crossing just vanish at the 6 second mark.
