  • Yeah, you definitely don't want to get one that only holds 1 chicken. The extra money is worth it to hold 1 chickens.

    • What's a website you've heard of (besides Lemmy) that you're sure nobody else here has?

    Jump

  • Leisure Town

    A comic, made with photos of posed bendy figurines. Was very influential in certain circles (like other, more obscure websites I won't name). Still up, but hasn't been updated in 20 years.

    Shit, as long as I'm posting websites from the 1900's that are still up, there's also Zombo.com.

    Jump

  • The rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs was doing shit at his parties that got him currently awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

    • The "m" in motel refers to a motorcar. The "h" in hotel, an older term, is presumably a reference to a horse.

    Jump

  • You can go further back. The Old French ostel is from the Latin hospitale, meaning "inn" or "large house", which is the noun form of the adjective hospitalis, from hospes, meaning "host".

    So the H in hotel is for host, kind of.

    (you can go further back into the theoretical language Proto-Indo-European, but there's no written record of it, so no letter H that we know of)
