En edes muista, koska viimeksi olisin Mastodonissa törmännyt Well, actually -manspleinaajaan - niin tavattoman harvinaista se on - mutta äsken niin kävi. Aika hyvin sain pidettyä hermoni kurissa. Vain yksi DUH! luiskahti vastaukseeni.

On se ihmeellistä, miten monet muissa someissa tavalliset, vastenmieliset asiat täällä loistavat poissaolollaan! Ne on ehtinyt unohtaa, kun eivät enää ole normi.

Nothing beats the schadenfreude of a man posting a picture of how his wife "destroyed" his cast iron skillet and getting absolutely roasted for having absolutely terrible seasoning skills if his pan being left on the stove would have caused the end result pictured. Best responses:

"She did you a favor"

"This isn’t going how you planned, is it?"

"Oh bless your heart"

Ich nonbinarysplaine es einfach Mal wie es ist. Wenn ihr im Fediverse Kohlrabi nicht entgendern wollt, dann nennt ihr die Einzahl Kohlrabe und die Mehrzahl Kohlraben. Denn entgendert nach Phettberg ist es well actually* Kohlraby und Kohlrabys und in handelsüblichen Sprachausgaben nicht von ordinärem maskulin schmeckendem Gemüse abzugrenzen.

The concrete will vastly increase the amount of propellant you’d need, also it’s more efficient just to launch them out of the solar system instead. 🤷‍♂️
