everyone else out. No one else tag this post. this is the only one.

My bf studied japanese in high school and often says "gambate!" (not sure of spelling) to be like. encouraging. I think it means roughly "let's get this bread." However, as someone who took spanish in high school, it always sounds like a command to me. And as near as I can tell, in spanish it would mean "go shrimp yourself."

I'm definitely not a fluent speaker, so I could be wrong, but here's how I got there:

In Spanish, some (informal, I think?) commands are formed by dropping the "r" from the end of an infinitive verb. (Every infinitive verb in Spanish ends in r.) For example, "to run" is "correr." If you want to tell someone to run, it's "corre." If you want to tell someone to do something to something/someone, you append a little pronoun thing to the end. From "besar" (to kiss) we get "bésame" (kiss me). From "cocinar" (to cook) we get "cocínalo" (cook it). From "callar" (to silence) we get "cállate" (silence yourself/shut up).

So, "gambate" immediately reminds me of "cállate," which is a rude command. It would be formed from the verb "gambar" and the second person object "te" for "you/yourself." But "gambar" isn't a word in Spanish. However, "gamba" is a word. It means "shrimp." So while it isn't technically grammatically correct, in the same way we "verb" nouns in English, the noun "gamba" is being used in the place of a verb here. "Gambate" (or more properly "gámbate" to maintain the correct stress for both the Spanish and Japanese). "Go shrimp yourself."

Native spanish speaker. You're quite right about your linguistics here, and spanish speakers love to make up new words by conjugating existing words (at the very least, my parents do)

My confusion stemmed from never having heard the word gamba before. To my knowledge the word for shrimp is camarón

So i looked it up and apparently gamba actually means prawn. So it's actually go prawn yourself

Prawn is British English for shrimp.

Gamba is Iberian Spanish (from Spain) for prawn.

Camarón is prawn in the rest of the world.

Forgot I made these quick refs once!! It’s not that you should feel obligated to portray every part of an animal correctly, but in some cases these are very unique, interesting features that very few artists are ever utilizing creatively!

You inspired me….

Pure and perfect!!! Here I was revisiting the post only to consider adding even more facts about each. I will anyway!

*Some toads do have a *forked* tongue that works like a set of tongs.

*The sperm whale’s thin shape is how it can dive so deep so fast, cutting through the water.

*The whale’s weird jaw is for hooking squid tentacled. Its small throat is only for slurping those up.

*The blue ringed octopus can kill you, but the bite of other octopuses is merely a painful burn, which may be why it’s not common knowledge.

*Rabbits are freaks

*There are also jawless leeches that swallow whole prey such as earthworms, and leeches with a drilling proboscis that often specialize in hosts like turtles and crocodilians.

*Few arthropods have limbs ending in only a “point” other than certain crustaceans! In many spiders, the foot is simply very tiny.

*Some ticks are eyeless, relying entirely on the chemosensitive “hallers organs” in their legs. Ticks are the only animal group to jave these.

*Different leech species have different numbers and sometimes different arrangements if eyes, much like spiders, and there are some with eyes on their tail ends as well.

*Sea star abd leech eyes are both quite simple, mostly only detecting light.

*Only the box jellyfish have eyes, but they are actually complex ones with lenses that can make out shapes! Box jellies navigate catefully instead of drifting with the current. They are also the deadliest jellies :)

Bringin all this back (including the cute leech drawings) also I should have added that goats don’t have any upper front teeth either

One last thing about the mantises, though–they can actually fold their front feet when not in use, so then their front legs actually *do* end in the sickle claws!

Yeah like a reverse switchblade, the harmless part folds in!

The Tarsus in this photo is folded up on the left, unfolded on the right! (Our left and our right)

the past tense of bake used to be what now?

god damn this is a QUILT ('late day shadows' by nancy messier)

This is the best kind of magic!

Feel free to reblog etc. I'm asking because my roommate had a weirdly shameful response to doing this the other day, and I was like ?????? It's a tap.

It was normal where I grew up until dry cleaning chemicals got dumped in the reservoir, and then it was a big no.

It has ALWAYS been a big no where I live now, unless you like feeling like your guts belong outside your body.

I wouldn’t find it weird if the water was potable, though.

I do a little bit of Duolingo to give him hope and then I stop just to hurt him

@duolingo-unofficial HA, look at this NERD who studies ALONE

Firstly, isn't "nerd" such a wonderful descriptor? And such a beautiful word structure too!

Also, I don't know who you're saying is alone in this situation but there's nothing wrong with being alone :)

im about to test the limits of discord nitro

we are almost there folks

discord you can lag all you want but you arent going to stop me from fitting the entire bee movie into a 50 MB gif.

Let me win, you fool.

is this how we play this game? very well.

my friends support me. i know within my heart. i can do it.

I did it…. I did it everyone. I’m the happiest person in the world.

part of being an ally to trans men is not being a dick to cis men for their appearance btw

the short trans men hear you. the trans men with bottom growth—or who are post-phalloplasty—hear your bad jokes about small dicks. the trans men undergoing hrt who are losing their hair hear you talk shit about bald spots.

also, hot take, you should care about not hurting random cis men in addition to not hurting trans men. like just because some guy is being an asshole online doesn’t mean the thousands of young boys reading your comments about someone with their same acne deserved it. i don’t care what your reason is, even if you think someone is bad enough to warrant being bullied, who gave you permission to hurt the innocent bystander?

hey y’all should spread this version bc some people need to hear this context

When the math doesn't math

I started playing Honkai Star Rail.

And the first world, I encountered this woman who asked me a 'simple' math question. Which are there more of, prime or natural numbers.

And the game made a point of mocking me for choosing Natural ones. "Because they're both equal."

Whaaaaaaat? Is this about the number scale being infinite? Because I promise you, infinity isn't a number, it's a concept. And two infinite quantities aren't equal.

For instance. How many natural numbers exist between 0 and 100. The answer is 100.

How many prime numbers, however? 25.

Already we have the inequality. Natural numbers are clearly winning here.

And the gap doesn't close as you go on. There are an infinitely more number of composite numbers than prime ones.

Think of it this way. How many decimals exist between one and two? An infinite number. So on a number scale, decimals are already infinite when natural numbers are going from one to two.

Infinities are not equal. They scale differently.

Or is my head the thing that's not working properly here? is my logic faulty? Are the number of primes equal to the number of natural numbers?

I'd appreciate insight.
