Seeing it in a real theatre while stoned makes a huuuuuge difference. "It's full of stars!!"

Other than English and Spanish, what would be a very useful language to learn? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Be open, humble, friendly, listen more than you talk. Try and learn a bit about the country you're in, not to have opinions about it, but to better understand the people you meet. Happy travels!

My favourite joke, being the only one I can remember. Still gets a laugh!

"ing" - end of the word "clerking", started (and hyphenated) on the previous line.

Was playing Trivial Pursuit with family one time, classics question came up. My brother replied "Pericles". His 10-yo daughter said "Wrong!" He knew he was right & demanded the "correct" answer.

"Testicles." Pronounced to rhyme with Pericles. It was the answer to another question on the card - What is removed from a horse to make it a gelding?

The poor child. Her face as we all screamed laughing. "What?!?"

Police say they can tell if you are too high to drive. Critics call it ‘utter nonsense’ in c/news@lemmy.world

I once was a passenger in a clown car squeezed full of people who were all high as kites, including the driver. We were bowling merrily along, when someone said, "How fast are we going? I feel like we're going really fast." There was a bit of discussion about how fast we should be going, and whether it felt faster than that, and then the driver thought to check the speedo. 25mph, in a 30mph area. I haven't laughed so hard since.

So yes, it can impair your judgement when driving.

That really sucks, I hope you're over it soon.

Why is it not grave robbery to take artefacts from ancient graves and put them in a museum? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Shetland is an archipelago, but ok. Historically populations in the Scottish islands moved around a lot more than you would think. Sick of the tiny village you grew up in? Hop in a boat and go to Orkney, or Skye, or Lewis. Travel by land was difficult, by sea was comparatively easier. There was also a lot of incomer traffic, from Ireland, Scandinavia, even the Baltic. So yes, there might have been a tiny fraction of genetic connection, but unlikely to be significant.

Sock blankets (sh.itjust.works)
 

Thrilled to have found a Lemmy knitting group! I'm a sock obsessive, I just love knitting socks, so I've ended up with an staggering amount of "scrap" yarn. The solution - blankets. This is my second Cosiest Memories project and this time I have a Plan. The first one was truly random, with lots of placement errors. When it was finished I did a dark icord edge, and suddenly it was smart!

So for the second one I'm adding an inner border of that same colour and (eventually) will finish with icord. I might even knit some more socks!

My first post (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm a Reddit refugee and in all the years I was there I never made a single post. I'm very much enjoying the Fediverse, especially Lemmy, and thought I'd share my happy place with you all.
