There’s no copyright date on this one. If it’s the normal 80’s/early 90’s I wonder how many readers would have known what a futon was

The context for those 2 sentences was changing colour to match your environment.

I’m often reminded of a SpaceX render they put up on the 'Tube back when they were still working out the reusability thing. Commenters had a lot of questions about how the particular flight plan impacted on their fuel budget. And so, Elon himself waded in with the answers. Except he was talking about the dollar price it cost to buy the fuel. He was like ‘why are you worried about fuel, it’s not that expensive, guys’ because he didn’t understand the questions. He didn’t understand why the amount of fuel and the mass of the fuel would be significant to anybody. Guys, I think he doesn’t understand the rocket equation. He doesn’t understand the central problem of rocketry. I think the guy might be full of it.

May be a special interest? I don’t know if there’s a clear cut distinction, or where it would be, or if it’s even useful to make one.

If you check the ‘nerd stuff’, it shows it was posted at 15:13, and updated at 15:16. But there isn’t a UI element to show that at a glance.

I don’t know, but I want to make sure @DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz sees this, as I think they would be interested, and may have some suggestions.

I prefer to parse it as a series of exclamations. China! Ferrari! Sex! Orgy! Death! Crash!

The prized all-noun headline

Haha JavaScript am I right? 💀💀💀

“I can do it on the bus!”.
Reader, he could not…

Did you know YAML is a recursive acronym? It stands for ‘YAML AML MAML LAML’

Cathar? You want to bang a mediaeval Christian sect that got declared heretical and persecuted to extinction? Sure sure, but why is that furry?

I would bring a sandwich for Gavrilo Princip.

I am pretty much the same demographic as you, and firmly not her target audience. But when she rerecorded her entire back catalogue to stiff some record industry creep, that was punk as fuck and I’m down for it.

Aha! You have discovered the non-rhotic accent. Most, but not all Brits (along with Aussies and some rural Americans) do not usually sound out r’s unless they’re followed by a vowel. In my northern England accent, giraffe and scarf have different a sounds, but also scarf has no audible r. I’d guess Julia Donaldson speaks more Southern or RP so giraffe would rhyme with scarf would rhyme with half.

I wanted to say something about the influence of West Indian immigrants on Bristol culture, but I don’t know enough about it to be confident of not putting my foot in my mouth. It’s an interesting place, for sure.

😒 Watch it Dutchie, or we’ll start sending more drunk stag weekenders

(I put in an edit to make clear that I am, in fact, British)

Mulberry bush fits in place of cobbler’s bench if you say it like mulb’ry. I’ll bet it’s a variation on the variation.

Brb, changing my name to Xavier in case I ever meet Gamerman153

🤔??

• there is a song called here we go round the mulberry bush
• in a different song, a weasel goes pop
• neither song has a monkey

Did Larsson get his songs mixed up? Did he learn different versions from me? Is this from the nursery song cinematic universe and the monkey is from a third song? What’s going on here?
