Close, but not quite. It’s actually “L M N O P”, but that’s okay keep trying!! ;)

It “does”, which makes it even worse.
Sorry for the mobile YT link, starts at 25 seconds

Basically the song got changed in elementary school from,
“ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRS TUV WX Y and Z(ee)”
to
“ABCEFG HIJK L M N OPQ RSTUV WXY and Z”
Basically they slowed it down

Wait until you hear what they did to the U.S. alphabet.
LMNOP is gone. They fucking killed it.

That’s even crazier! Insect violins, these creatures are.

Something so small can exhale air loud enough for us to hear it. Absolutely wild!

I think Dr. Honeydew needs to be a little bit lower. Something about him just seems… Dangerous.

Like Fruit Bats.
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 5 weeks ago:
I would guess that most people don’t know, and as mentioned it’s ugly and sadly it seems the majority of people care about aesthetics more than efficiency.
And also like you, I would do this but my fridge space is also definitely too small. I also think our fridge is new enough to be one of the metal dissipators

Hey now, it alleviates depression, it doesn’t cure Britain.
- Comment on Science Journalism 1 month ago:
I’ve been saying for a while that it really feels like media literacy has gone down significantly. I read some opinions or takeaways on a movie and the responses I see can be so confusing, like how someone could possibly come to their conclusion. It could be a movie about fire engulfing everything and they’d be like, “wow, wind sure does destroy a lot of stuff!”, for some reason.
To some extent I get it, I make pretty distant connections myself pretty often, though I generally acknowledge that it wasn’t the intended read of the work but an interpretation of it. Using the fire example above, wind blows fire around, so the wind is destructive too. Sure, that’s great.
So I don’t mind people having these opinions, even if I would have disagreed with them. What bugs me is just how goddamn certain and adamant people get about it, without being facetious about it. If after viewing you genuinely believe that wind is the root cause of the issues, and not all the examples from the source material showing that it’s fire… I just don’t know what to tell you.
Of course, this isn’t for things like meme, or like I said interpretations of the work. If a bunch of people all independently see it and come to similar conclusions, that’s a byproduct of the work. Also similarly, if one person says a theory and everybody likes it, that’s also a bit different to me, though it can be a little annoying if it’s ran without any other thoughts. Not many things have just a single read to it, so it seems limiting to permanently categorize it. There’s also plenty of cases where the work itself does a very poor job getting its point across, probably like this comment right here (sorry, I have a headache).
All in all, in general I’m fine with the whacky opinions that might not be based in the work or even in reality. It gets frustrating when the person is so adamant that their interpretation is the one definitive read and any alternative is dismissed, because it stifles discussion.

Sad to not see more comments about The Subtle Knife. This is a great meme for that concept!
- Comment on Let me at 'em!! 1 month ago:
The Subtle Knife is definitely so sharp that it cuts through dimensions, so I think it would cut atoms.
So really that just means it’s not inaccurate, it’s just a very specific, fictional knife!

I also want to include turkeys even though they’re not included in the image. Turkeys like running down hills, since they’re perfect runways for takeoff. Then they land in lower-hanging sturdy branches.
It’s quite cute.

Delisted is just removed from stores. Servers still let you download the game if you own it

Did you see Borderlands, Killer’s Game, or any of the Rebel Moon variations?
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
That’s just regional though. Not much humidity in a lot of California. Not much humidity in Oregon, though there can be some. Fair amount of humidity in Wisconsin. Lots of humidity in Florida.
But one universal truth between all 4 of those states, despite the humidity, is when it’s 107 fucking degrees!?

Good on them though.

- Comment on Please suggest some Gundam-like shows to watch 3 months ago:
How no one has recommended the Macross series is beyond me. It’s not mech vs. mech, but mech vs. alien.
I like Macross: Frontier most, but I’d probably just go through them in order.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is pretty good too, although it’s less mecha and more strategy.
- Comment on OzBargain user claims that chicken parma/parmi is "just chicken nuggies for adults" 4 months ago:
I guess a chicken ceaser salad is actually just chicken nuggets because you’ve got croutons, chicken, sauce, and salad too.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 6 months ago:
There’s no technical reason for it, as the game has already worked fine without it for months
Well, sort of. Friend requests between PC and PS5 have been borked for a long time now, recently they changed how account ID’s are generated randomly to now looking like it’s a specific ID. I wouldn’t be surprised if linking accounts was part of this in a skeezy way.
The worst part is I have a PSN account but I haven’t had a console since the PS2 lol.
