There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

This one's Japanese (which has a lot of onomatopoeia btw), but ki-ki-ki is the sound of a violin being played badly. I put my poor family through a lot of that when I was taking lessons as a kid. I could hear my aunts in the background saying "mata ki-ki-ki yatteru." That's basically Japanese for "there he goes sawing away again".
