How far back in time can you understand English?
It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.
"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

@MLE_online so you're telling me I get the best of both worlds?
@MLE_online Dream last night was my mom calling me and telling me she's trying to listen to an audio book on CD, but after the first chapter, she plays for me over the call, is a Hanna Montana song. I tell her she probably burned the wrong track to the CD when making putting the audiobook on the CD. She says "okay but what about chapter 3?" Skips to next track, it's another Hannah Montana song. I explain again that she made a mistake. She says "okay but what about chapter 4?" This continued for several chapters.

I call on Mastodon once again for help with recipes. I got a large thing of Spinach for some curry, but have a lot left. What should I make with it? I got plenty of rice, tofu, SPAM, whatever else you'd need, just need a directon to send it.

A 2018 study (N=46K) of DNA samples & questionnaires found no genes associated with sex played a role in empathy. Women display more empathy, not because it is innate, but because girls are socialized to act on their emotions & prioritize needs of others. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260213-are-women-naturally-more-empathetic-than-men
