A blue man confronts a giant green insect like creature with what looks like huge butt cheeks. Inside a cylindrical space station.

I’ve posted this cheeky picture before and it was the butt of so many jokes it would be a bummer if I didn’t repost it. ‘Rendezvous With Rama 2’ (1979) by Jim Burns from his art anthology ‘Lightship’ (1985)

'Ye' in names such as 'Ye Olde Inn' was originally pronounced 'the'.

The pronunciation with y is due to a misinterpretation.

'Ye' originated as a second-best way of writing 'þe', þ being thorn, the original English letter for the th sound.

My newsfeed tonight was bombing Iran, children seeking parents kidnapped by ICE, the scientific medical industry in shambles, and Tex governor Abbott signing a bill requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms. This country is very stupid and evil.

The future tense endings in most Romance languages look suspiciously like the verb meaning 'to have':

Italian 'sarANNO' (they'll be) vs. 'hanno' (they have)
French 'chanterAI' (I'll sing) vs. 'ai' (I have)

Well, that's actually what they are!

Learn all about how this future tense originated:

I don’t care about your sign, name your hotdog.

The more curious you are, the better you can cope with change.

The Spanish words 'año' (year) and 'España' (Spain) contain the letter ñ, called eñe.

It comes from a double nn.

One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: ñ.

'Año' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn, but 'España' comes from 'Hispāniam'. My graphic explains how it got its ñ:

‘Squirrelled,’ as in “squirrelled away,” can be pronounced “SKWERLD.”

‘Squirrelled’ has 11 letters, making it the longest one-syllable word in English.

That's pretty cool!
Although I couldn't help but laugh a little knowing what "sram" means in Polish 👀

The International Space Station orbits lazily above the Earth. An astronaut says "I'm so bored. You wanna fuck?" Another astronaut says "yea sounds good." The first astronaut smokes a cig and says "hey, that was great." The second one consults the official NASA fuck book and says "oh shit... did you follow protocol 2B?" They both see the semen free floating within the station. One shouts out "OH GOD... THE JIZZ!" The space station explodes.

King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

"Excalibur" 🔪✨

In Poland we don't say "I don't care", we say "I jerk off on that" (walę na to) and I think it's beautiful
