I believe the technical term for panel 3 is Skeksi.

I completely forgot to watch the show, I should check it out

[-] stringere@leminal.space 2 points 7 months ago

Yes.

Fun fact: the cardinal is one of two different birds that have won exactly as many Superb Owls as the NFL team named after them.

Idk why your getting downvoting this is funny

[-] manucode@feddit.de 4 points 7 months ago

It's apparently not everyone's humour

Holy poop two cardinals are Canadian O.O....

[-] manucode@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

There are four, actually. I just didn't want to overwhelm my list of Northern cardinals with just one nation.

I hope those adult males are good at telling the juveniles apart from the adult females...

Do birds arrest each other for being a bird pedo?

Sadly appropriate that someone posted a bunch of Catholic cardinals.

Vowels with umlauts are rarely next to the same vowel without umlauts.

As in you wouldn't have äa or oö, but you could have oä or öa

But ofc doesn't apply everywhere but like, generally, writing "bloöd" just seems off

[-] Dnn@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

The way umlauts or often used in memes like this one, the authors seem not to be aware that they are pronounced differently than the corresponding vowel.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking about!

QI (Quite interesting BBC show) tweeted: The 'metal umlaut', as used in Motörhead or Mötley Crüe, is purely decorative and not intended to affect pronunciation. However, when Mötley Crüe first performed in Germany the crowd didn't know this and chanted 'Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh!'. Apparently they were drinking Löwenbräu when they named the band.

It was on the show once but I can't find the clip, and I won't link to xitter so. You can find Tommy Lee verifying that tweet if you google "qi motley crue quite interesting"
