As a native, fuck that word. I also dislike spelling the word convenience.

This dancer is a legend

About the buoy, I spent an unhealthy amount of time watching videos about stuff that floats to get that pronounced correctly.

I’m French so my pronunciation still sucks, but my ears can tell that « Boys boys boys » ain’t the same as « No Shoes, No Shirts, No Problems »

Let that sink in.

(Oh buoy I’m sorry)

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I’m a lonely buoy

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Acquaintance is that word for me. I just type ‘aqu’ and my phone handles the rest. God help me if I ever have to write that down without access to the internet. I also let my phone handle ‘necessary’ because I never know how many c’s and s’s there are and where they go.

I feel like ace ventura taught a whole generation how to spell beautiful right every time.

Jim Carrey is a treasure.

Yes it was, good call. I have such a clear image of ace ventura saying it in my head but that’s clearly fabricated.

Easy mistake to make given Jim Carrey just plays Jim Carrey in both roles I guess.

You’re right, Woden the All-father should be first.

Well, that would still not have the weekend at the end of the week, but at least there would be a reasonable explanation.

I like how there are days for the sun and the moon, a bunch of nordic gods and then Saturn for some reason.

They were all celestial bodies. The rest just got more myth attached to them. The Norse names are all sort of kinda mostly the equivalents of the Roman counterparts, and those are famously where we get the names for the planets.

Sunday

Moonday

Mercuryday

Jupiterday

Venusday

Saturnday

Ther wasn’t a great Norse version of Saturn, so it just kept its name. Even as it is, some of those conversions are pretty flimsy.
