I wanted to just post the video, which has a lot more information (though not the kind of info you’re looking for), but I didn’t know if an LTT video was an “official” enough source for this community.
I suppose this was probably the first time that all of the digits of pi up to 300 trillion were calculated, even if the 300 trillionth specifically was already known.

Yeah, liberal/left subs definitely don’t do that.

True, but as usual, that’s offset elsewhere in the grammar (and a binary or ternary noun class grouping doesn’t really introduce that much complexity into the system).
English still has number distinctions with multiple irregular patterns (and plural/collective distinctions like “fish/fish/fishes”), and even lesser recognized animacy distinctions that must take up some space in the grammar too (“my face” is fine, but “the face of mine” is odd, while “the clock’s face” and “the face of the clock” are both fine).
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
One example of such a process is subregular patterns getting extended instead of always levelling toward the most productive constructions.
In many southern dialects, for example, even though the productive past tense is the “-ed” past (just like it is in all modern varieties of English), and so we normally would expect to get regularization like “cleave/clove/cloven” > “cleave/cleaved/cleaved”, we instead in these dialects get irregular examples like “bring/brought/brought” being regularized not to expected productive “bring/bringed/bringed”, but rather “bring/brang/brung” on the pattern of “sing/sang/sung”, “drink/drank/drunk”, etc.
Extending subregularities like this can cause irregular patterns to persist and grow stronger over time.
I suppose that technically this isn’t introducing a new irregularity so much as it is helping an older one persist, but it’s a similar process.
Other recent innovations include things like Canadian and northern US English “I’m done my homework”, northern positive anymore (“Anymore, I go to the store on Fridays”), and prepositional “because” (“I can’t come tonight, because homework”).
Again, this isn’t exactly the development of new irregular morphology specifically, but these are analogous processes elsewhere in the grammar.
It’s also worth mentioning that English is becoming more and more of an isolating language over time (a language with less morphology), and so we’d actually expect irregular morphology specifically to become less common in these systems.

It isn’t though.
It may seem like it is, but English is actually becoming more regular over time in many dialects.
Dialects dropping the 3rd person singular -s, dropping irregular (and even regular!) plurals, dialects eliminating the subjunctive, and past tense/participle distinctions. In the phonology you have marked features like English’s interdental fricatives going away as well. All of these processes are producing less marked and more regular structures across the English-speaking world.
As always, there are processes countering these and introducing more irregularity, but as cattywampas mentioned, these are the sorts of processes that all languages are always undergoing. English really isn’t special - it’s just a natural language like any other.

If that were to become the enforced position of the entire dev team, I promise that I will donate, and provide receipts.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Probably not - for me it’s more that the majority of my negative experiences on Lemmy have come on lemmy.ml, so the sticking point really is your involvement with it.
For a lot of other people in these threads though, it does seem like funding the hosting is the biggest deal. If the server costs for lemmy.ml are as low as you say, splitting off the hosting costs separately in some way (like taking donations directly from lemmy.ml that go into their own account separate from general Lemmy donations, for example) probably would see at least some sort of increase to donations to Lemmy.
If it wouldn’t be too much extra work, it’s probably worth a shot.

Person1, since you’re new here, this is Cowbee, our resident tankie apologist/propagandist.
The most reasonable-sounding genocide denier and authoritarian regime supporter this side of the gulags. I highly recommend their alt’s comments on Hexbear if you’re interested in their more “mask off” persona.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
That’s correct. People actively shilling for authoritarian regimes committing human rights atrocities, denying genocides, and aggressively silencing all dissent do not deserve it.
All they’d have to do is develop from behind the scenes and not actively contribute to one of the worst places on the platform, and I’d have no problem donating to them.
But they don’t, and so I don’t, and instead I get to listen to your whataboutism, literally the guy in the “and yet you participate in society” meme.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
lemmy.ml is part of Lemmy development as it is used to test new versions before release, take performance measurements and have first-hand experience with the mod tools.
Then you really shouldn’t be surprised that people don’t want to donate when part of that support goes toward an instance that openly and aggressively supports authoritarian regimes and genocide denial, and brutally censors any dissenting viewpoints.
If I stepped away from lemmy.ml it would make Lemmy worse and cause more problems for other instance admins.
The other option, of course, would be to run lemmy.ml in a way that doesn’t actively piss off the majority of Lemmy users, but that doesn’t seem to be a path you’re willing to consider.
Honestly, as much as I disagree with your politics I’d probably donate anyway because of how great Lemmy is, if only you developed behind the scenes and weren’t personally responsible for one of the worst places on the platform. As it is, as long as both a) lemmy.ml continues to be run the way it is and b) you continue to have an active part in that instance’s abhorrent behavior, I can’t in good conscience give you any financial support.

Most of Lemmy is fine - just avoid the tankie triad of lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear and you should be good to go.

- Comment on When you count, your lips don't touch until 1 million. 2 weeks ago:
“Open sounds” (which, I assume, refers to continuants) and bilabial sounds aren’t mutually exclusive.
When you pronounce the /w/ at the beginning of “one”, your lips round (purse) and touch each other at the corners, but they don’t form a full closure. So, the oral tract is still open, but the articulators (moving mouth parts) are still touching.
This could be reworded as “the middle of your lips don’t touch each other”, but multiple commenters are correct in that your lips absolutely do touch each other when you say “one” in English.
