Tea candles though, Jesus Oh! I've also seen them used in rip-off scentzies. Instead of a special light bulb heating scented wax it was a little hole to sit a tea candle in to do it. At that point I was just like "jfc just buy a candle"
Exactly how the traditional Korean age-counting system works. I knew they start babies out as "one" at birth, but apparently instead of counting age on birthdays everyone ages on Korean New Year. Technically if a baby is born in late December it'd be two within a month.
"Female" moles are actually usually male-shaped and switch to female genital structures just to breed. So, uh, apparently Brian Jacques' error with the two moles who switched genders between books was accidentally accurate?
Okay so I had to lie still, unsedated while an accursed MRI machine made cosmic washer-dryer noises at me for FIFTY MINUTES today so they could get a good look at my pelvis and spine. And then when I googled how it works later at home I learned that it involves making my hydrogen atoms wiggle. Like, no. Just no. Nobody should be allowed to fuck with my molecules like that while I'm still alive, holy shit. Like, no. Put that thing away or so help me. Idk why I'm so disturbed by this knowledge, but all I'm saying is it better show some clear results or I fully reserve the right to shank someone outta frustration.
More miserable malady facts with Mal - so when I hit my spoon limit, I nearly always get this brain-sensation that feels to me like old rusty gears in my head struggling to turn and making that awful 'EEERRHHH EEERRRHHH EEERGH' noise, except there's no noise but just a grinding feeling in my head and brow and temples, right? I always just figured that was how you know you're completely out of spoons and your MP is flashing in the negative points. Called it my gears grinding, bc that's what it feels like. Happened to describe it to my GP today and what I've been getting is NOT standard exhaustion, it's tension headaches. What you are describing is a tension headache, go take some ibpurofen and lie down, dumbdumb. (Obvs not in those words but the implication was there XD) Just another thing to add to the list of why my body sucks, I guess!
They discontinued Sierra Mist thirteen days ago [EDIT] In case anyone is concerned, I am neither happy nor sad about this development; rather I'm just surprised. Also in case anyone is concerned, Pepsi has rolled out "Starry", which is their new competitor to Sprite. So far reviews are unclear as to whether there is any actual taste difference from Sierra Mist.
Wasn't today but I looked this up recently; polecats are called that because of the French word "poule", meaning chicken, since they eat ground-dwelling birds. Before I looked it up I thought it was because they're long and thin and thus shaped like a pole.
Today one of my friends mentioned that they know multiple people who thought that Spoiler: tw genital horror, anatomy fail vaginas contain tastebuds. I am in despair at the educational system and that mental image.
The word "mundicide", from the Pink and Blue Unicorns entry on the Villains Wiki. It means to kill (the fuck out of) a planet.
"Fiesta" and "feast" have the same root word. I noticed this was probably true today, and Wiktionary confirmed it!
Thank you! I assume you are a Kate Bush fan? Bonus on-topic content: A collection of cool words from Tumblr user tanadrin.
People put literal shoes on ponies when bringing them indoors, to protect them from slipping on floors. They get the shoes from Build-a-Bear.
There is an Ancient Egyptian minor deity who, for reasons which presumably made sense in historical context, looks like a Pac-Man ghost with feet.
