The fruit is where we got the word for the color! There was no color word for orange until the fruit started becoming known and traded around the globe. Boggled my fucking mind as a kid when I learned that.

Edit, it is early for me… As I don’t know anything about the origin of aubergine… is it the same deal? And I just need to wake up and catch up, lol?

Glad it doesn’t only happen to me! Lemmy juust small enough still that I regularly find myself on some old posts, especially when checking out a “new to me” community. May your comment help the next passer-by!

Ooo, love this one.

…I immediately found myself quoting a bit of JP after reading that shit. Knew I liked this place.

Go Hoosiers!!

I feel I need to share how this appeared in my feed.

Well, since the answer won’t matter anyway, you just want folks to feel wrong, I’m gonna just throw my 2cents on in.

If you live in a place that has capital punishment, and are willing to use that against a fellow human, you are attempting murder by doing so. If you also were to do this I’m a place where there is a higher rate of incarceration already, proven false imprisonment and executions (see the innocence project for examples), brings further merit to, you were REALLY TRYING to kill this person. So, yes, if you are OK with doing that, knowing you’re lying so bad your pants are on fire, you should be willing to put yourself in their place. They would not be there if not for you and your shit faced attitude.

Think I was 4?, maaaybe 5? when I first saw that one. 😭😭

Thank you!

I believe I am hooked and will have to get this now. Dammit. I already have a back log and swore off getting anymore, and this just waltzes in front of my face.

Who exactly does he think has that kinda free money to throw around besides him? Does he think Zuck or Bezos turned on him?

As a poor, I was very happy to find “free” (still gotta have a device and internet) streaming stations that are all Star Trek, all the time.

Leaving and need some sound for the doggo to drown out the neighbors and keep him from barking? Star Trek channel. Down and need something on to start drawing you outta your funk? Star Trek channel. Cooking, and kinda want to still watch something, but can’t fully pay attention? Star Trek channel. Tired of this Trek series and want to watch another? The other Star Trek channel. Pluto stations for sure, and also some others, Freevee, Tubi, Amazon channels, etc.

I feel like David Lander was the more popular of the 2 back in the day, but I’ve seen Michael Mckean show up in more things after. I wonder if he found it hard to shake that character? … or if I didn’t watch the right stuff

…that’s Lenny tho

I probably wouldn’t be here now if it weren’t for stumble upon. I had 0 interest in online communities before them. Used it forever (it seemed like) before… stumbling, into their communities. People sharing and discussing the interesting stumbles they found.

You need to see the movie Rubber, about Robert the tire.

I am using Thunder, if I tap the image for both of yours (to make full screen) I can see the alt text on both. Not while I am in the post though, scrolling through replies.

I may have to tap on more images from here on. Thanks to you both for the info and examples!

Oh wow! Well, that was uncalled for! I wasn’t one, your opinion is valid for you, not everyone likes the same formats for walls of text.

As someone with adhd, I do like the way it breaks up the text for readability. Just bullet points would work well too though.

Just love his comics and sense of humor!
