Which Elden Ring ending does this one guide me towards
Yeah but did he do it with a typewriter? Didn’t think so
Depends on whether you count anime girls that look 13 but are actually 500 year old dragons in human form

I’m not sure if instance-agnostic links work for individual posts. !fossils@feddit.uk/t/1152191/This-bizarre-fossil-isn-t-a-plant-animal-or-fungus-turns-out#comments
Edit: either they don’t work or I did it wrong
In this case it’ll be referring to the Japanese animation studio famous for Spirited Away, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Nausicaa, and so on
This is like if The Pack went to sea
Seeing as you used a photo of a car offroad and upside down for this post, either a portrait of Colin McRae or a picture of his car going around a corner very sideways
They do work for those of us on mbin
Seems like they’re not, although I get your thought process. If we take Old English (which was English before the Norman conquest) and modern Swedish (since Sweden was never conquered by anyone from France or the Romans) as comparisons, we have
Eleven: OE endleofan, Swedish elva Twelve: OE twelf, Swedish tolv Thirteen: OE threotiene, Swedish tretton Fourteen: OE feowertiene, Swedish fjortun
I think you can see the pattern. These actually all have similar common ancestors going into Proto-Germanic, so they’re way older than the French influence on English.
Since other Indo-European languages like German and Russian do the same thing as English where the line between “one word numbers” and “two word numbers” is 20 to 21, I suspect that originates waaaaay back in the history of these languages
Apparently our national men’s team is ranked 48th, in between fellow basketball titans Senegal and Sweden
I guess we don’t really have a British equivalent that is a household name recognisable to non-fans in the way the Williams sisters are. We’ve got a few men who fit the bill, but that obviously doesn’t work for the question. If you need to name a woman that everyone immediately knows is really god damn good at tennis, one of the Williamses is probably gonna be the go-to regardless of where you ask
That’s probably the best bet for us regular folk, but the problem is that she probably knows that she really doesn’t need to go anywhere near as hard as she could to get every serve past us

Other fun stuff from the same poll:
- Scots are the least likely to think they could do it, and also the least likely to say “don’t know”. We know where we stand apparently
- 2% of 65+ year old people think they could do it, although 2% is getting well into the territory where it could just be insincere answers
Probably not a tonne of people responding to a British polling agency’s survey play basketball, but otherwise yeah. If we go by viewrship figures for the men’s final at Wimbledon, a little over an eighth of the country watches a game of tennis once a year
It’s an Australian pelican, they just look like that

There has been recognition of a particularly useful application of Möbius strips for a long time: belts in machinery wear out slower if they’re Möbius strips, because that way the contact with the shafts is split between both sides of the belt. The oldest example of this usage I know of is from a 13th century engineer in the region of modern-day Iraq and Syria

Absolutely ridiculous that a jazz legend like him doesn’t have a website but his house does. I bet that pile of bricks can’t sing me Blue Turning Grey Over You
