haha that’s what I was thinking when I typed it tbh, also the meaning of factoid has changed but was originally meant as I had claimed, see my other comment if you want the context :)

“The term was coined in 1973 by American writer Norman Mailer to mean a piece of information that becomes accepted as a fact even though it is not actually true, or an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print. Since the term’s invention in 1973, it has become used to describe a brief or trivial item of news or information.”

from Wikipedia, so I suppose the meaning of the word has shifted from its original meaning and my claiming otherwise was a Classic Factoid™️, if you will.

a factoid is something that is commonly believed to be true but isn’t, which I guess this kinda is because it’s not just extremely likely. there is a 1/80658175170943878571660636856403766975289505440883277824000000000000 chance that it’s been arranged that way before. 52!

the Brothers Grimm versions were not the original versions of any of those fairytales! they were edgy remakes! idk why or how that thinking became so common or why I care so much!

I haven’t seen much Seinfeld, who are you referring to as the most politically correct character? is it even Seinfeld you’re referring to?

how did you learn this run? I love portal and it looks like a real fun run but I’ve never speedran anything before and don’t even know where to start.

name checks out

just wait until you hear about what kids in the US have to repeat every morning at school…

ah yes s1e2. you almost gave it a shot

this is madness and I would argue it’s the cheeses that you buy rather than “cheese as a whole”, have you ever tried any imported cheeses? the cheaper options in a US supermarket are usually Wisconsin-made imitations that are great at being a lot cheaper than the real deal but flavor wise are just watered down imitations. I can’t imagine not being able to taste the nutty umami of a Parmigiano Reggiano, the bright briny-ness of a Greek Feta, what about Smoked Gouda?? tastes more like BBQ than American cheese lol

I love me a good msipelli g

how so?

I posted this under another comment but it was originally from a rapper Lil B the Based God

“Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive. When I was younger, based was a negative term that meant like dopehead, or basehead. People used to make fun of me. They was like, ‘You’re based.’ They’d use it as a negative. And what I did was turn that negative into a positive. I started embracing it like, ‘Yeah, I’m based.’ I made it mine. I embedded it in my head. Based is positive.”

not to say I disagree, but this reclaiming is pretty based.
