  Thank you so much for using the singular, that’s a real bugbear of mine.

  Non-anglophones, is this a thing you can relate to? I’ve never been told “das Mitochondrium ist das Kraftwerk der Zelle” or anything like it, at least not nearly to the extent that anglophones seem to, so much so that it’s forever burnt into their brain folds apparently.

    As a Canadian, I share your confusion. I think that phrase was just a common descriptor of mitochondria in US textbooks, or a catchy line in a popular US biology video.

    It’s just strange enough to make a big impression on bored students, so I’m not surprised it’s been memed so hard.

    All of us who learned Spanish in the U.S. also know “¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”

    Just a bunch of canned phrases like that kicking around in our brains.

      The FitnessGram Pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues.

      I really wish we could photosynthesize. I hate having to poop.

    Cells within cells within cells, interlinked

      And blood-black nothingness began to spin… A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem… And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played. Cells. Cells. Have you ever been in an institution? Cells. Cells. Do they keep you in a cell? Cells. Cells. When you’re not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells. Cells. Interlinked. Interlinked. What’s it like to hold the hand of someone you love? Interlinked. Interlinked. Did they teach you how to feel finger to finger? Interlinked. Interlinked. Do you long for having your heart interlinked? Interlinked. Interlinked. Do you dream about being interlinked? Interlinked. What’s it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked. Interlinked. Do you feel that there’s a part of you that’s missing? Interlinked. Interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Why don’t you say that three times: Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked.
