Reply to How our microbiome is shaped by family, friends, and even neighbors. Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80

This is a pretty old theory, but it makes sense. I'm surprised they are just finding this out. I think it was in 1995 that my teacher said that germs (what we used to call microbes) can go from one person to another.

Reply to comment by StrikeTheSun in TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain

"did you know that George Washington was not named Washington?"

"Wat"

"I reddit on read it."

Maybe as a sign? "I wanna off myself, but fuck it, I'll call and if they ignore me, that just validates my belief that everyone hates me, and if they do pick up, maybe they'll talk me into not doing it. What do I have to lose except maybe five more minutes of this bullshit lol"

Reply to comment by chacham2 in [WP] Everyone is born with a power, but they can be bought and sold. Being poor, you purchase only the cheapest ones, gaining you ridicule and the title "Mr. Useless". Recently, however, you realized how you can use all these "useless" powers together, and set out to make a better name for yourself. by chacham2

That works. You just name objects and then verbs. And then try to figure out conjugation.

Granted, I wonder if the translations take into account idioms. Like "he'll be there in a moment" translates to like the equivalent of "he will be there in a tenth of a second"?

It's not even from there. I made this joke when I was like 10.

"I miss you a lot. But I also hit you a lot, so it evens out."

Something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if I made that joke after hearing the joke elsewhere beforehand.
