sqrt(-1) = ±i. The negative answer is also valid.

The fun part is, it works even if you’re aware of it.

Painful but not deadly. Wikipedia mentions someone complaining about the pain a month after.

I have two, but I barely hear any purring - one is busier begging attention with a “mrrown-wown?” = “I have never been butt-slapped for the last five minutes!”, the other had a broken palate so I think she simply can’t.

A tree: it’ll outlive you, you don’t need to clean its poop, and depending on species you’ll even get something tasty out of it.

A cat is fine too.

[silence reigns in my realm again]

Anyway. I just deal with it, eventually learning how to mentally filter it. The one major exception is the neighbour’s dog, goddammit I hate her owner, the dog keeps barking and howling because she’s bloody bored, can’t anyone take her to a walk?

You probably “unlearned” it from using the noise cancelling headphones.

I remember a comm about this.

So her claim to fame is that she is more gay than the rest of ancient Greece?

This too. She was so gay her whole island became synonymous with women being gay. (She was from Lesbos.)

IDK man, let’s see the poems men wrote about those soldiers and their glistening biceps before making a call here, shall we?

Perhaps Achilles loved Patroclus a bit too much… waitaminute…

Your comment is funny so I’ll answer it, even if I typically would ignore shit like this. Quotes are out of order.

if you want to share knowledge do it kindly…

Did I, in any moment, insult MacN’Cheesus (the OP)? Nope. I didn’t even criticise him; I’m saying Anon (the 4chan poster) got things wrong. OP is just sharing it.

I’m not even assuming ignorance from his part; note how I outright said “if you’re joking” (implied: “you might know this, and you might be saying what you say just for the sake of a joke, dunno”).

I’ll go further. OP, if you felt insulted in any moment by my comments ITT, I apologise.

…but perhaps I’m being unkind towards Anon, in 4chan? Even if he were to read the shit I wrote, not really. I’m focusing on the matter, not the person. I didn’t even call him an incel, even this shit he’s saying is incel tier.

So cut off the crap and stop being a liar. Until now, I wasn’t unkind towards anyone here dammit.

You’re being also a hypocrite:

Shove up your Greek knowledge up your giant ass…

If you’re so eager to vomit “be kind!” towards the others, make sure to lick your own vomit once it hits the floor. Follow what you preach.

but you also come across as a pedantic snobby culture bro asshole.

“Come across”? So you aren’t accusing me of “being” an arsehole; you’re whining because of how things look like??? Pfffthahaha.

Let’s say I am a [Ctrl+C Ctrl+V] “pedantic snobby culture bro asshole”. Still better than being a whiny, little and pathetic thing, who writes like a kid almost ready to cry, and whose comment boils down to a huge “WAAAH, THIS HURTS MY FEE FEES”, all because someone else shared stuff about an obscure topic that is related to the OP.

Cry me a river.

[inb4: whiner starts assuming things about my emotions. I’m not going to read it, so… who cares.]

Pfft, you and everyone else. Get in line.

But not the battle addicts of her times. They’d rather see a bunch of sweaty men, fighting “FOR GLORY!”, demonstrating their power. I guess nowadays you’d replace it with a car or some other status symbol? And that’s literally what they sung about, look at the Illiad. She was probably one of the first poets to say “screw all this shit, the I want to see my beloved’s face, the way she walks, she captured me like she was some goddess in an epic story.”

In case you are not joking:

This was translated from Ancient Greek. Of course it won’t rhyme; Ancient Greek poetry is based on foot and pitch, not rhymes. And even if it used rhymes the translation would butcher them.

Calling it garbage because it doesn’t rhyme is like looking at a translation of Shakespeare into Japanese, and saying it’s garbage because Shakespeare was a functional illiterate that couldn’t count morae.

Regardless, the poem already shows a woman talking about romantic love around 600 BCE. It’s already enough to tear apart what Anon is saying. Insert mentions of patriarchy here.

If you’re joking: derp.

Anon, tell me you’ve never read Sappho without saying “I never read Sappho”:

Some say an army of horsemen,
some of footsoldiers, some of ships,
is the fairest thing on the black earth,
but I say it is what one loves.

It’s very easy to make this clear
to everyone, for Helen,
by far surpassing mortals in beauty,
left the best of all husbands

and sailed to Troy,
mindful of neither her child
nor her dear parents, but
with one glimpse she was seduced by

Aphrodite. For easily bent...
and nimbly...[missing text]...
has reminded me now
of Anactoria who is not here;

I would much prefer to see the lovely
way she walks and the radiant glance of her face
than the war-chariots of the Lydians or
their footsoldiers in arms.

Fixed - thanks!

Found the dialectologist focusing on rural varieties.

Alligator: U-shaped snout.
Crocodile: V-shaped snout.

I’m glad the Romans never had to deal with the difference though, since alligators are only found in the Americas [edit: and in the Yangtze River basin]. Otherwise this explanation would still fly over their heads. (“V? U? SIMILE SVNT, FVNGE PVTRIDE!”)

It’s Lemmy, of course we’re going to see radicals.

In addition to what other users said:

The current iteration of the meme is quite removed from the original (the comic). For a lot of people, it’s about hiding a specific pattern inconspicuously, so others detect it and say “is this loss?”. Like hiding a triforce in an online canvas, or reminding you of the game (you just lost it BTW).

Sometimes I lay down and spend hours simply thinking. Sometimes I sleep almost instantly. My biological clock is a mess (for reference, it’s 4:50 now), and my work doesn’t help with it.

Sensory pleasures: tasty food, music, watching Sousou no Frieren (because that series has gorgeous looks!), kneading my cats (I joke this is “revenge” on them), incense, baking some bread (I don’t need to eat it, kneading + smelling fresh bread is enough)…

Anyone who eats guava straight from the tree probably ate far more maggots through their life than any H. neanderthalensis did. Including myself.

…damn, I miss that guava tree.
