Happy birthday Lou!🥳

WTF

This is a great idea!

^Real answer. It’s not just men, you’d definitely get stared at by everybody lol. It’s not bad but I notice a few stares here and there just going without a bra

Yes. It doesn’t make sense to go topless during exercise lol. You want that support

Am woman. Not gonna lie, if it was a stranger on the street, I’d think “wow that is bold! Now there’s a sight you don’t see everyday” and probably look the other way bc I’m not trying to stare lol

Not sure, but want to chime in because I deleted my community a long time ago and still have mod views (tabs like mod queue, unread reports, mod log) on this account.

Am American and I think the kids seem to like coming up with words that are random and nonsensical? Like I still don’t know what this “skibidi” word means lol not sure I want to know xD

Thanks for tan eggs! I never knew I needed this! xD

I’m the same way. The idea of some part of me living on and ending up who knows where freaks me out. (The same way I’d be, while extremely grateful, also weirded out having a transplant and knowing some dead person’s inside me). And I guess I’d like to know with certainty I will be safe and AT REST in some place. Yes I understand that all of this is irrational. But no matter how many times I read these debates, I can’t seem to let go and make it feel okay. Like you, I’m not religious.

So yeah I get that I sound cuckoo, the same way I think religions sound cuckoo. I guess this means I’m spiritual in a way, or just agnostic. Because if I was truly atheist, none of this would matter and I wouldn’t care.

Also I like to think it’s somehow related to me being a bit of a pack-rat (maybe not a hoarder, but definitely a pack-rat). I tend to ascribe feeling to objects and get attached and then can’t throw stuff out. Lol.

That being said – I’d be all for it if my organs were given to a loved one. 100% no qualms about it.

Ah, whoosh on my part. I didn’t want to assume anybody’s background or understanding!😅😆

Etymology is for word origins😊 But if you like bugs, you’re looking for entomology! There seems to be a cool community over here: !entomology@mander.xyz

From Greek etumos “true, real” + -logia “study of” 🤗

Yay! I started a community over on Squabbles for a bit, and it was primarily another mod and I posting content. Unfortunately they went MIA, so I’ve been bummed out about that because they were pretty active lol. Tried to find an etymology community on Lemmy, so I joined the Kbin one, after which I realized it was a bit dead and there was no one running it. So here we are. :)

Awesome!😁

I’d say focus on sharing etymology findings for now. I’m not some linguistics professor or anything – just an amateur who created this community for fun. Maybe we could sustain more question posts once there are enough knowledgable subscribers to answer them. (I’m hoping some experts would discover the community actually, and maybe hop on as mods). :)

Edit: I just updated the community rules so clarify that question posts are allowed, as long as you please attempt to at least Google it yourself first. 😆

I just messaged you an invite. :)
