@Bad_Dps @LilySuccs Since it’s specifically *English* Miku we’d unfortunately have to exclude Chicken Tikka Masala which is Scottish. Could still treat her to a Vindaloo, though!

@bober_dev @cursedconnector No, the hose is the part that’s banned! We sometimes have bans on watering lawns during droughts to preserve the drinking water supply; they’re called “hosepipe bans” which makes it sound like hoses are illegal.

@concertina226 @CountBinface Did he pledge to put a statue of Attenborough in Trafalgar Square, or the actual person? Feel like both are equally likely!

@unreallyhooman @mokujyan Ace = great, the best. Can also be an ace, which is someone who is top of their game at something.

@ectheli49948775 @khubiez @WalpyWalpy It’s tracking data - tells YouTube where you clicked on it from, what you were searching for, what browser it was being used from, bunch of other things. Only the part before the ? (Or before the & on a full-length link) is the actual link to the video.

@JSSoren @RiddleYume @ro_devo @CursedMario It’s a pun/slang intended to insult Korea. The normal spelling is 韓国 but they’re both pronounced the same (Kankoku).

@DarthMolgy @InstantSunrise October 10th 1582 never happened - when the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar happened they skipped 10 days to make up for the amount that the Julian calendar had drifted. 1st January 1970 at that location would be 0s in Unix epoch time, at coordinates of 0,0.

@Karcist1978 @sensiblehuman96 Hate to give any credit to Restore, but that’s a reconstruction of the Sutton Hoo helmet so it is actually Anglo-Saxon!

@QuintaMarchaJB @DeadBeatsZone Calli’s idea of “breaks” can be measured in hours and usually involve her working anyway unless forced to stop.

@dustyCoala183 @OgumaShiro Yorkshire accent skips the vowels in “to” and “the” so they’ll go t’work or down t’ pub!

@Roonieworld @stats_feed Since they're flat representations of a globe, maps have to either have gaps in them or distort sizes or shapes the further you get from the equator - you can't have all three. The most common one (Mercator) distorts sizes but leaves shapes accurate!

@hermosavidaemma @douglaschu_ Probably should say many rather than most!

@hermosavidaemma @douglaschu_ Most evangelicals stand up to pray, at least in settings like this. The order of service may also not have individual prayer at all, it’s often musical worship, announcements, offering, preach/sermon, salvation prayer, with most of the time being spent on the preach.

@jacqueboatman @Phantammeron …technically I think they’re accusing Tolkien of not having read Tolkien.

@Cabron137 @skrimbeezo @_nickcrypto @PookiesParadise @bluemupp They were built by farmers during the time of year that the Nile was flooded and work couldn’t be done on the farms. May have been paid for it, or it might have been a tax in the form of labour.

@irys_en @kanauru Well, you are very sweet, that counts, right?
