Who's upset about it?

Japanese maps what we call green and blue as one colour that we had to account for in English as grue; I call it cyan because that's the colour in between green and blue. Poking holes in supposedly one-to-one translations is always fun when you realise certain things aren't universal, like the colours in the rainbow and musical scales (which means, no Newton, you cannot map the colours of the rainbow to a musical scale and your 5-colour rainbow would've been more fitting when the pentatonic scale is more recognisable).

Do you realize that there'll be an entire generation of children who grew up with the internet and Netflix instead of TV?

Do you realise that there is no one alive who knows life without electricity (apart from maybe uncontacted tribes)?

Well TV sucked so...

Merry christmas everyone.

Thanksgiving?

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

We all know Thanksgiving is overlooked compared to Christmas and mostly is only thought of once food is mentioned.

 

Especially in stores, which, is primarily where I was coming from since they like to do a tiny thanksgiving/fall display or something, but then go all out with Christmas decor somewhere else.

I got a valentine when I was like 8. Then never again after.

Depends on what you mean by companion; I just scramble it up and unscramble it.

[Olly 1,011]

I can scramble

Spongebob has been running for almost 20 years. Think of how many Nick shows it’s outlived. Avatar, Invader Zim, Fairly OddParents, Jimmy Neutron, Harvey Beaks, and Danny Phantom.

I either lost interest in, lost track of, intentionally forgot about, adored, or never heard of those. (I'm not saying which ones...) (Safe to say that Spongebob's now a cross-generational cartoon now; whether that's a good thing or a not-so-good thing-- actually, Spongebob memes are one of the few places of common ground between millennials and post-millennials, and did I just decipher Post Malone's name?)

I solved a Rubik's cube years ago by dropping it on the floor until it broke apart and then reassembled it so all the sides matched.

That's not as fun-- Actually, reassemble it the wrong way and give it to someone who can solve it.

I was little and my brother bet me I couldn’t solve it in 20 minutes. I showed him.

This is probably a testament of how fast I learn things: one week and I can now solve a Rubik's cube. The problem is now I can't solve a Rubik's Revenge...
