This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.

I believe the phrase is “Big things come in small packages”.

This is just me, I know, but it bothers me that they went through the trouble to copy the P and the SS, but didn’t do that for the first letter I, so it looks like “P|SSIMIST”.

I was about to bring this up!! Yes! It was a two page spread. My jaw dropped. Awesome comic.

I’ll never understand why low res images like this always have half the text cropped off. I get why it’s done when they’re conveniently censoring something, but…ugh. :(

There were go.

That second comma is really getting to me.

Yup. That phenomenon is called “analogical change”. The opposite happens too though! For example, “person” and “parson”.

Actuallyyy…

Goose comes from Old English, where they pluralized [go:s] (think “goes” with a soft S) by adding [iz] (like “ease”).

When saying [go:siz], it was kinda hard for the mouth to switch the vowels from the [o] to the [i] quickly, so to save themselves the trouble, they’d change the first vowel to make it a little more similar to the second, so [go:siz] became [ge:siz].

Then, that was too long, so they dropped the [z]. [ge:si] (think “guessy” but the “e” lasts a bit longer than usual).

Then, that was too long, so they dropped the [i]. [ge:s] (“guess” with that same drawn out “e”).

📯It’s the Great Vowel Shift!📯 Now, [go:s] and [ge:s] become [gu:s] and [gi:s]. Almost there!

The vowels become a tad short over time, and now, you have [gus] and [gis] which are written “goose” and “geese”.

But “MOOSE”? That’s Algonquin. It has nothing to do with all that noise. “But they sound the same and are written the same?!” So? Haven’t you heard? English orthography is a dumpster fire. Nobody knows what they’re doing. Not even the words.

My brain can’t make sense of the thumbnail.

I actually have a pretty sensitive sense of smell.

The smell is caused by bacteria blooming. If you’re using good detergent, it kills the bacteria. Likewise, soap is bipolar, so one end of the molecule grips the oils you excrete and grime you pick up, and the hydrophilic end gets it all yoinked off during the rinse.

1. OP can turn them inside out themselves when they take the shirts off and put them in the dirt clothes hamper.
2. You don’t change the settings for every individual article of clothing. You turn the knob or press the button once. This is not hard.
3. Hanging stuff up is easier and faster than folding it. The actual drying part is slow though.

Pretty sure that’s Kim Jong Un, and this is North Korea.

Honestly, even I was even my gym clothes on cold, and it works just fine. The hotter settings are more for stain removal.

Buddy…

1. Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
2. Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
3. The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.

I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.

Not all famous people’s friends are famous. 🤷🏼 They both used to be part of the cosplay community that would attend a lot of anime conventions, but somebody made a joke about doxxing myself, so I don’t feel comfortable saying much else.

Wtf that’s my partner’s friend! I’ve seen people I know on Reddit a few times before, but I didn’t expect it on a less populated place like Lemmy. It’s a small world.

Not since the days of yore when there were DBZ websites with affiliate links. Lol

Same. Surprised at how much this resonated with other folks though. Seems to be a lot like Wish.

It’s this exact mindset that caused them to go extinct. Lol
