I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS:
PTERO👏DACTYL 👏 MEANS 👏 "WING" 👏 "FINGER"
one of those false etymology posts but with the actual etymology of the word
fun fact: the word "prosthetic" comes from the greek word πρόσθεση (prosthesi[1]), meaning addition
fun fact: the auto- prefix (e.g. automobile, autodefenestration, etc.), means "self" in English. But in Greek (at least, Modern Greek), "αυτό" just means "it" (3rd person neuter singular pronoun) and is pronounced "afto"
fun fact: "diaeresis" (those two dots on ä ë ï ö ü (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GERMAN'S UMLAUT. VERY DIFFERENT THINGS), example: naïve) comes from the Greek word διαίρεση (dieresi[1][2]), meaning "division"
fun fact: there is a word in Spanish for "pulling an all-nighter", "trasnochar". It comes from "trans" (happy pride month), meaning "across", and "noche", meaning "night". Because you're staying awake across the entire night

dont you hate it when the backseats of the car have so much shit that you have to sit on the y=x axis?

this reminds me of one time in AP Language
last quarter in my AP Lang class, my teacher asked "ok class, let's separate these sentences into its subject and main verb." (it was a two part activity, we were supposed to find the subjects of each sentence in a paragraph and then find a pattern. we never got to the "find the pattern" part that day)
it was getting increasingly obvious that most of my class forgot what a verb was. he asked people to point out a verb in a sentence, and some people said adjectives, nouns, or adverbs instead.
so he spent the entire hour reteaching the parts of speech lol.
an improv show that begins with asking the audience for one word prompts but as it progresses it becomes increasingly clear that they’re just testing the audience members on which parts of speech they know

i finished my physics electromagnetism class and holy fuck
integrals don't mean anything anymore, it's just fancier multiplication
Φ = ∮E•da ? that's just E•A, what are we even doing here
V = ∫k dq/r ??? get real. kq/r.
the formula sheet for my final literally has
ε = ∮(v×B)•dl
and literally right below it also has
ε=vBL.
fuck you physics, fuck you e&m (except optics, i love you optics, you're the shining light at the end of the deep tunnel that is physics 2)
I voted Luna, but also wanna nominate Fengari (Greek (Φεγγάρι))
bro i was doing my trigonometry homework on my laptop, and since i dont have a pdf editor i was using snipping tool to screenshot and draw, and then a png to pdf converter to turn it back into a pdf.
on my second homework, question 1, i somehow crashed snipping tool. couldn't even finish the question.
snipping tool crashed right before i could draw the graph. which i hate, but also, like come on i have to draw tan(x)
so yeah im dying inside
what the actual fuck
