  • Whereas eggplant was coined in English, most of the diverse other European names for the plant derive from the Arabic: باذنجان bāḏinjān. Bāḏinjān is itself a loan-word in Arabic, whose earliest traceable origins lie in the Dravidian languages. The Hobson-Jobson dictionary comments that "probably there is no word of the kind which has undergone such extraordinary variety of modifications, whilst retaining the same meaning, as this".

  • allo never follows the instructions and they rarely follow the theme 🤭

    this could have easily been an image about fuckCars. At least it's from cinema :)

  • you have my upvote allo, though you probably won't see this message.

    can you post the screenshot of the original scene for comparison?

    i wish the shoulders were still masculine though :/

    welcome to lemmy by the way (if that isn't a new account for an old lemming)

  • do they share the room all year or is it only in the winter because it's easier to heat one room with wood?

  • i had to search for my words.

    A stove or range is a device that generates heat inside or on top of the device, for -local heating or cooking. Stoves can be powered with many fuels, such as natural gas, electricity, gasoline, wood, and coal.

    it's correct though it may not be habitual for native English speakers from certain localities

  • ah! thanks 🦆🦆go:

  • wasn't it USA that was spying even on their closest allies?

    there was an expression about this… tip of my tongue: ___ ___ pot ___ call ___

  • i will add a question to theirs: Why is Fedora not in the suggestions?

    i'm only interested in negative criticism, if you please. What made you avoid or stop using Fedora?

  • not my words, i was referring to Plato's Phaedrus to make fun of the "ai bad" comment. I'm sorry. Forgive me.

    Socrates tells a brief legend, critically commenting on the gift of writing from the Egyptian god Theuth to King Thamus, who was to disperse Theuth's gifts to the people of Egypt. After Theuth remarks on his discovery of writing as a remedy for the memory, Thamus responds that its true effects are likely to be the opposite; it is a remedy for reminding, not remembering, he says, with the appearance but not the reality of wisdom. Future generations will hear much without being properly taught, and will appear wise but not be so, making them difficult to get along with.

    No written instructions for an art can yield results clear or certain, Socrates states, but rather can only remind those that already know what writing is about. Furthermore, writings are silent; they cannot speak, answer questions, or come to their own defense.

    Accordingly, the legitimate sister of this is, in fact, dialectic; it is the living, breathing discourse of one who knows, of which the written word can only be called an image. The one who knows uses the art of dialectic rather than writing:

    "The dialectician chooses a proper soul and plants and sows within it discourse accompanied by knowledge—discourse capable of helping itself as well as the man who planted it, which is not barren but produces a seed from which more discourse grows in the character of others. Such discourse makes the seed forever immortal and renders the man who has it happy as any human being can be."

  • you're wrong for using writing. Writing leads to laziness and forgetfulness. Future generations will hear much without being properly taught and will appear wise but not be so.

  • no thank you for this pathetic comment :/

  • T-1000 is one of my favorite fictional characters / creations

    i would like to be made of liquid metal instead of flesh & bones 😢
