English is full of “lexical gaps,” words that are implied to exist but don’t, because we borrowed a bunch of words from Latin but not other, related words. Somebody made a chart to show it↓

This idea is terrible. Put more effort into fixing it so that if a user blocks a company, they stop seeing ads from T' emu.

[Engineering @Engineering]

Soon we’ll be launching a change to how the block function works.

If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked will be able to view them, but they will not be able to engage (like, reply, repost, etc.).

[Colin Pollard @peleinr]

@Dieselcat73 It isn't. It's just cruelty with a translucent wrapping of "tradition".

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

You can tell we’re heading towards Autumn - I’m getting that urge to make a crumble.

[Colin Pollard @peleinr]

How many times do you have to not like unblockable ads for them to not show up on your timeline? Whatever the answer, it's more than a dozen.

Hello Earth! I am proud to unveil the 2024 Count Binface general election manifesto, which I feel sure will be the most sensible manifesto published today. #MakeYourVoteCount #BindependenceDay

When crossing the road, only mini jog if you've made eye contact with a driver, but slow down before you reach the other side.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

When to crack out the mini jog:

- zebra crossing
- petrol station forecourt
- corridor of held doors
- car to postbox
- returning the supermarket trolley
- after tripping over nothing
- decelerate into one when the bus you were running for pulls away

@iJevin I like all of them, but if I had to choose one, it'd be 6.

Who remembers the [cursed] TV show Mysterious Mysteries of the Unexplainable with Boston Chandelier?

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

I’m of the generation that hears the word “badger” and immediately thinks “loves mashed potatoes”

@MrMichaelSpicer Listening to this with headphones, unsurprising that the applause is on the right.

[Colin Pollard @peleinr]

Or putting the wrong sock on first.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Nothing feels quite so wrong as opening a packet of crisps upside down.

[Colin Pollard @peleinr]

@FreyaFallen We don't have air conditioning, so all the cold air that would be inside because of that is outside.
