Probably? Someone Check

One Fish, Two Fish

Red Fish, Blue Fish

I ate both fish

Racism is gone

Yeah, they are pretty similar.

Another thing I didn't mention in the ask was thus:

Say a culture has a word for sand: Nate. ['natɛ]

If one Nate is one grain of sand, what are Multiple Nate (Natel).

What does Natel represent? Multiple grains of sand? A pile of sand? Would they have a new word for a pile of sand? Would it be derived from Nate? Should it be considered plural? It is referring to *a* pile, but it's referring to a *pile*, which has lots of sand grains!

This kind of thing keeps me up at night.

Again, sorry for ranting.

CW: Venting then asking for opinion

I stayed up last night thinking. About what? Sand.

But not sand itself. Nono. Counting with sand.

When you count sand, you count grains of sand. Then you say it's a pile of sand. Then a dune of sand. Then it's just... sand. But there is no clear distinction between any of those counting words.

When does "grains of sand" become "a pile of sand" become "a dune of sand?"

Sand doesn't even have a plural. Think about it. You cannot refer to multiples of sand without using another words. Sands? Nope. Types of sand.

You might say it's the same as with Bison and Sheep, but those can be counted. (1 Bison, 2 Bison, 1 sheep, 354 sheep) You can't count with sand. (1 sand? 2 sand? what?)

Opinions on the subject? Sorry for ranting

Yeah, it's certainly an interesting subject. I remember hearing about this thought experiment with snowflakes instead of sand. Like how many little flakes have to fall in one particular place before you notice you have a small pile of snow? And how many flakes would you have to take away for it to *cease* being a snow pile?

I guess snow and sand are similar things. Like sand has grains, and snow has flakes. But when you have enough flakes grouped together, it just becomes... snow.

i find it so unfair that i cant do all the science. like what do you MEAN I can't study bio and chem and biochem and atrophysics and physics and geology and climate science. what do you MEAN i have a limited lifespan and need to get out of school at some point to get a job. i want to collect the science fields like pokemon, this isn't fair

This is so important. This can absolutely save lives, and people need to know this.

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HOMESTUCK IS I'M GETTING WORRIED

As usual rb for sample size blah blah blah

Our houses are built with the sciences, our wall are painted with the arts.

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.

How terrifying, how excruciatingly painful to acknowledge this. That I am a jigsaw puzzle of everyone I have briefly known and loved. I carry them on with me even if I don’t know it. How beautiful.

~Edit~

Yikes guys I didn’t expect this post to blow up.

I’m grateful it did though. Looking at all the comments and tags really takes a stab at my heart because it just shows how wired we are for connection. If life has any meaning, then it’s that.

This concept really sunk its teeth into me as it reassures the notion that no one is ever truly gone. Parts of them just change into you.

That teacher I talked about inspired me to become a teacher myself. This was my first year teaching. Here’s to a new generation of curved i’s.

Yes why would you question my loyalty to the funny trans comic dude

Guys would you still follow me if you found out were just a bunch of rats in a trench coat? Like would you?

Great job! Animation looks a bit fast with some movements of the arms, but well performed!

So sorry about your cat and Grandma. Losing loved ones is always painful. I'll be here for you, and I think everyone else will be too.

Thank you sweet bean. That really means a lot. From all of us in Imagination, we thank you very sweetly.

Incidentally, when we hurt, we create. If you would like, we could share a video we made?

It's silly sure, but we like making MMDs.
