Park the car at the park so we can live a little watching the live concert.

I like to make hot tea and think back to our ancestors pushing through that ice age. Good on you, chaps.

Wouldn't it still be the same? You think you have something to be proud of, but you just don't express it out loud. You would still seem humble to others, but are you really humble?

Reply to Humen is a more logical plural to human than humans. It’s men and women, not mans and womans. by frenglish_man
“man” is much older than that. It comes from the Proto-Indo-European word for hand. Which is evident in words like “manual” “manicure” and so on.
You can almost imagine these people naming themselves “hands” because nothing else around has them

Since when is having a grandchild before turning 40 a success?

Reply to comment by sdjacaranda in you are the sum of 2 parents 4 grandparents.. 8 great grandparents... and so on... so your DNA is composed from millions of people by anirudhsky
Would you be entirely different, or probably just very slightly different?
I believe you don’t necessarily get DNA from every one of your ancestors, so if you’d had a different ancestor you could still be genetically identical, but I’m no expert

That's one of the great paradox of language. It is supposed to convey direct information but in many cases what we say about ourselves means the opposite. For example, to say your are a liar makes you, in a way, honest. To say you are weak demands strengh. To say you don't know shit actually means you have a strong knowledge about the vastness of, well, knowledge in general. Language is weird af.

Reply to comment by BodAlmighty in Cats spend the majority of their lives in their dreams rather than in real life due to them sleeping ~16 hours a day by raize308
Yeye but we humans do have the circadian rhythm which is also the reason why we can wake up at almost exactly the same time every day given we have a regular sleep schedule

I'm so fucking egotistical that I'll straight up just listen to everyone's perspective and consider that they may have a different point of view that's just as valid as mine. #EGOmanic!

I wasn't claiming the etymology of the word lol. Just why human/humen wouldn't work practically. That being said, human didn't start with the french word "humain". It started with the latin "homo" and then the latin "humanis"....That french word "humain" showed up around 300 years later.

Saying things that are factually true is not necessarily bragging.
