Adam: "People born in 1966 and 2026... are born in the year of the fire horse. Why would you not want your kid to be born in the year of the fire horse? How is preventing this going to help boost marriage rates?" Tom: "Is this something like the Western zodiac, where there are different personality traits attributed to each sign?" Adam: "Yes." Tom: "So in the same way they say like, oh... Geminis are trustworthy. I don't know which one's which. Like the fire horse is meant to be bad for marriage, is meant to be unfaithful?" Adam: "Yes, yes. I am going to say that you've got it."

Tom: (deflates) Adam: "It is not quite unfaithful. There is a superstition that women who were born in the year of the fire horse will murder their husbands." Tom: "Wow!" Ben: "That's a good one." Sam: "Okay." Adam: "So—" Tom: "Just like all the people in the entire year. Every woman." Adam: "Yes. So in order to prevent your daughters from having difficulty getting married, couples decided not to get pregnant in such a way that they would have a kid in 1966."

Adam: "They decided to have kids in '65, or they waited until '67. 'Cause they were worried if they had a kid in '66, and it was a girl, she would have a lot of trouble getting married, 'cause people would think she would murder her husband. And this superstition was so significant that the birth rate dropped by a full 25% in 1966." Ben: "See, this is fascinating to me, because I feel like if I met a woman who was prophesized to murder her husband, I would be sort of like... bizarrely into that. I feel like that's quite exciting."

happy lunar new year to ben doyle from jet lag the game

Drawing of a red-skinned oni girl with horns and pointed ears and a blank tanktop, holding a large kitchen knife as she cooly glances at the viewer, engulfed in stylistic Asian flames. Behind her is a wild-looking teal horse with a mane made of flames. The text says "2026"

happy year of the fire horse (hinoe-uma)! 👹 An old Japanese superstition from the Edo period says women born on this year will be hot-tempered and shorten their husbands' lifespans

i was gonna say this is a straight person thing but if i google an openly gay person's name it gives me "[famous person] partner" so. yeah

why is it that every time i google a famous person's name the first result is always "[male famous person] girlfriend" or "[female famous person] boyfriend" like i don't care about that shit i want to see their work. i never search those things so idk why it's being recommended to me

(tangentially related, but i'm also interested in seeing grant as a guest on @lateralcast.com if it's ever in his wheelhouse)

i wonder how much of what he said on the podcast has changed since then, though - it's been 7 years since it was recorded. has his video-making process changed? does he feel like a more competent filmmaker now? etc

relistening to @3blue1brown.com's episode of the numberphile podcast and i completely forgot that the episode is called "the hope diamond" because he compares his eyes to the hope diamond (it makes sense in context i promise). that moment made me laugh

to watch!! i admit that i giggled when i saw the title and thumbnail for this

i love when i'm watching Jet Lag: The Game and there's a moment where one of the boys is like "they have no idea where i am" and it immediately cuts to the other team like "oh i know where he is. he's at *exactly* 54.3322° N, 2.7403° W hiding beneath the fourth tree on the left. we got him."
