But how bananas exactly? I need a banana for scale

What do you call a word that swipes in the shape it describes? Like an autonym but for swiping.

Spelling it, I always feel stupid and forget when to end:

"Bana"? No, keep going...

"Bananana"? Damn!

When all else fails, sing Gwen Stefani's Bananas song. Cannot lose.

Now this is mildly interesting. This little tidbit will never leave my brain.

Wouldnā€™t be surprised if this was intentional. Same way as typewriter can be written with only the first row of letters.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

...how would this be intentional?

[-] Perroboc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Even though the QWERTY layout was designed so keys donā€™t get jammed when typing in a typewriter, it was also designed with no ergonomics in mind, and some decisions are questionable.

For example, the word typewriter is typed using letters from the top row only because of a design decision.

So, AS A JOKE, Iā€™m saying that they also intentionally designed the layout so when typing ā€œbananaā€, a banana would be drawn.

You ever try swiping on a typewriter?

[-] Perroboc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

you haven't?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So, AS A JOKE,

You can't fool us

Step one: banana

Step two: BANANA
