The one I'm having now! I have hyperthymia and when I have flare ups of it those can last for several weeks or months. For those who don't know what hyperthymia is it's basically a constant state of mild mania.

I remember reading that it would've actually cost a lot more for people to fake a moon landing back in those days than to actually go there. When viewed from above, the shadows in the Apollo photos are parallel because the light source is so far away!

A while ago, I was speaking to someone from the UK online. They were the type of person who assumed that all of the UK's problems were being caused by migrants, and they were outraged at an article which said that migrants and other vulnerable persons will receive priority care. They had no issue with other vulnerable groups getting priority care, except for migrants.

They then went off on a tirade about how "migrants are taking over" the UK. So, I asked them if they personally knew any of these migrants, if the UK is really being "taken over" by them.

They said "no" and didn't know what to say after that.

Aw yeah New Zealand! I often have trouble telling Australian and New Zealand accents apart though, they sound really similar to me. Love Australian and Kiwi accents!

South-ern, with the "sou" rhyming with "how"

"Deckles" and it rhymes with "speckles"!

I had the same thing for a while when I was little, so I can relate hehe. I remember getting a dictionary for my birthday because I had a phase where I was into books. No worries!

I get this sometimes, I think it's because the nerves that are actually triggering the itch are someplace else, kind of like when you get that itch inside your ear that you can somehow relieve by scratching the roof of your mouth with your tongue. I feel itchy now!

My dialect is confusing to some people. I was speaking to a Californian friend over Discord and I pronounce the word "Southern" in a way that she didn't realize what word I was saying until I clarified that to her, and she was like "yeah, that's definitely a different way of saying it". Another word that trips some people up is "decals"!

Laptops! I have a gaming desktop computer and also a gaming laptop that I use if I'm going to be somewhere other than my house for more than a day. Mobile games pail in comparison to what can be played on a decent gaming laptop. I wouldn't even think about trying to run even a rudimentary 3D game on my 3~ish year old smartphone which has 3-5 seconds of input lag for everything LMAO

Thank you so much! I have fond memories of that one because it's one of my first ever drawings that I've uploaded to social media. Can't believe a year's gone by already!

Me and a close friend have this 2+ years long running inside joke about a particular city in England that nobody else would get. We could be talking about the most random and seemingly completely unrelated thing and the inside joke about the city gets interjected in. Sometimes I beat my friend to it by mere seconds!

 

I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃

I'll go first...I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I've had ever since I've had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven't damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

 

I've always pronounced the word "Southern" to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like "suthurn" instead. I didn't realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

 

Atoms make up everything.

 

They really drag on

 

Ash Ketchup

 

They'll always say booo

 

They're far too dense

 

They're all too negative to get along.

 

They have 18 half-lives

 

Because it’s unacceptable to sign an autograph using a firearm

 

No idea

 

So I offered them a few encouraging words.
