I like in a Celsius country but have switched all my digital thermometers to F for exactly this reason. It’s just more intuitive, and I happen to like it at 70F, so below that convenient number is cool, and above it is warm.

Fursonas are pure narcissism. Imagine if non-furries acted like furries: you open someone’s social media and if every pic they upload is commissioned artwork of their (human) selves. You walk into their home and the walls are covered in self-portrait paintings. You chat with them and they reply with ‘stickers’ of pictures of themselves doing gestures or facial expressions. Pure narcissism.

Haven’t heard that name since elementary school in the 90s.

Still better than comments that go “Fast shipping. Good packaging. Didn’t test yet. Five stars.”

I wash dishes while waiting for the water to boil, or sandwich to cook in the panini press, or food to microwave, etc. Better than just standing there.

You didn’t even break that rule, because an abbreviation is when you shortened a word to its first few letters, like ‘Inc.’ for ‘Incorporated’.

NYT is an initialism. NASA is an acronym. Neither are abbreviations.
