I giggle every time rule

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Also a favorite of mine, but that meaning is usually transitive. So it “precipitates ”, not simply “precipitates”. A more syntactically equivalent synonym would be “causes” or “leads to”.
Like “slightly misusing a word on Lemmy precipitates a nerd-off”.
“manifests” and “incarnates” are also both capable of being transitive, and i in fact use “precipitates” transitively here, it’s just that i kind of left the object of that verb implied rather than stated, most likely because i was rushing to not get cancelled
an example would be saying just “i like how quietly clouds precipitate” where “rain” is left off because implied. i recognize my sentence was a lot less obvious for sure tho 😝
