>People used to not even name their child until after their first birthday
I wasn't aware of this practice until I went through a few older graveyards looking for relatives. So many tiny gravestones marked "Baby (lastname)". A real eye opener.

In the end the sun will destroy the Earth. Either way the Earth will be gone.

Reply to comment by Etzlo in Baby clothes have pockets but babies have zero need for pockets. Meanwhile women's clothing often lacks pockets when women desperately need them. by HalfLawKiss
Well this part of rhe problem... I've had this conversation before... there is the expectation of being able to find thenclothes you want in person in a brick and mortar shop so you can try them on.... that's not really our system any more. You can get whatever you want you just have to look online.

I’ve always said they should’ve built the bridge across the oceans years ago. Would love nothing more than a nice relaxing road trip around the globe ☺️

Sure you can, ask a doctor and they'll explain the mechanics of it which is a good answer.

Reply to comment by wildadragon in The older a bridge is, the safer it is to cross. by nibbatron9000
I was thinking more of old roman bridges made of stone, they have basically become a part of the environment. I suppose you are right about the rope bridges, but those are rarer and usually dont last long when theyre not used.

No.
Here’s why I think so: imagine trying to explain a taste without using other tastes as descriptors. Our experiences are so unique that to truly convey something so extreme is impossible. It is outside what language can convey. So even if somebody died and was miraculously resurrected, I don’t believe we have the words to convey that kind of experience.

Haven't you seen those rope bridges in movies, similar ones exist in real life? Old doesn't always mean maintained.

Although there are plenty of people who know what dying feels like, just not the last part.

This is a form of bias. It worked before, therefore it will continue to work.

Language is always changing, new words come from nothing. Grow your mind.

Reply to comment by oldmanshoutinatcloud in Every single person in the world who reads a novel will have a different image of the characters and scenes that they read by JenJen3508
I'm listening to the audiobook by Andy Serkis, I still imagine movie frodo in scenes with Tom bombadil even though he is being voiced essentially by gollum. So weird.

I often tell people that it's sad what humans have done to nature. But it's sadder what nature has done to humans.
