What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

  • Depends where you are. Most in the US pronounce them the same, but they are all distinct in Philly for example. But we pronounce "berry" and "bury" the same.

    • Does anyone truly think times are better now than 30 years ago? (US)

  • Polio wasn't around in the 90s I was there. Sepsis is still a thing. MRSA wasn't really as common as it is now.

  • True, but the population in industrialized societies have become less and less healthy at the same time. We have Ozempic, but we also have 30% of Americans with prediabetes.

  • Leaded gas is still used in small airplanes with internal combustion engines. If you live near a General Aviation airport you are being showered in lead so some rich guy can play pilot.

    • 1 in 3 teens have prediabetes, new CDC data shows

    Jump

  • It's similar to numbers I've seen for adults previously. 70% of adults are obese or overweight. This is who are setting the norms for children. I basically never see young people outside (I run and walk a lot). I see kids waiting for the school bus in the morning, and half of them are sitting in their parents cars. They get driven down the fucking street and can't be bothered to stand for 5 minutes.

    • Ancient food are absurdly complicated.

  • They knew you could, but mostly didn't because it takes a ton of energy to boil off water. There was no petroleum, no coal, so you would need a bunch of wood. So you use a bunch of wood to boil a liter of ocean water and you would get about 35 grams of salt. It just wasn't worth it.

  • It is against our food safety laws to put inedible things inside of food. That's really not that absurd of a regulation.

    • Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ Americans

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Jesus was a middle eastern man who preached caring for the sick and poor and hated the commercialization of religion. It's like they stopped reading when they they got to Leviticus.

  • Bill Barr's father got Epstein hired at some elite private NYC high school as a math teacher. Epstein didn't even have a degree. Bill Barr was the Attorney General when Epstein died, and visited the jail like the day before.
