  • Not really early Germanic though, because every other Germanic language kept the meaning of “animal”. It’s only modern English (since the 1500s) that narrowed it all the way to one specific species (or family of Cervidae).

    My guess would be that the language gained the word “animal” from French and “deer” was pushed from its niche and forced to specialize?

    This looks like the same image at a glance, but like atomicbocks said, it’s only proof of the plagiarism in the image generator. It spit out something very close to the original, but the proportions are off.

    Here I’ve cropped it as close as I could get it to the OP’s and bridged the last gap with G’Mic morph.

    (Animated webp, I can confirm Jerboa doesn’t support it.)






  • Omou again, fucker.

    My sides.

    And I know it’s a copypasta and the bad translation is the point, but “akachan” is way too friendly for “You’re fucking dead, kiddo”. I’d go for “gaki”, which is a common part of weeb lingo and literally means “kiddo”, with the same connotations and all.




  • If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to “f*ck” doesn’t accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like “!@#*”, now you’re just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn’t you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

    Edit: Oh, and this is missing the original point entirely: the original post said “fkn”. That is their freedom of speech. Someone else decided to censor it before sharing. That is not covered under their freedom of speech (well, technically it is, but it’s also a clear case of censorship.) If the original post didn’t contain any censorable words, that is completely up to the author. But if you share a post and felt the need to inject your personal belief that “fkn” is a no-no word? Nobody asked.

    The problem in that case is SEO. What you need is a table of cooking temps or just a single number, but what ranks high is a web page that mentions “cooking”, “chicken” and “temperature” a million times.

    (Or be like Gen X and keep a cook book and a scattered assortment of notes in a drawer)
