    ngl PLV statement on the Ama Namin thing kinda make sense to me. i get that it could be interpreted as ridicule or mockery but at least from the video it really looks like everyone’s just having a good time

    idk but if i were almighty all-powerful omnipotent everything i’d be sad if my followers would boring sluggish lame af when they worship my name lmao

    imagine all the bangers and bops written in your name and your followers draw the line at drag + punk rock wtf is up with that. Gregorian chants are a few notes away from sounding like devilish incantations

      Nice. Looks thicker than default Calibri. LMAO kung kailan nag Calibri ang US Government, that’s when Aptos is released.

      Parang mas maganda tignan ung sans serif Aptos vs. Serif Aptos

    TIL of Silbo Gomero (informally called Silbo), a whistling language originating from La Gomera, part of the Canary Islands under Spanish rule.

    Silbo/Sylbo language in action (link).

    While the community of La Gomera speak Spanish, Silbo is a required subject for La Gomera students, and considered a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. They had to resort to such communication as the terrain (mostly ravines and valleys) usually made direct, face-to-face communication inconvenient and impractical. Think of it this way: going to your neighbor the next mountain over for some juicy Maritess time is tiring, so might as well whistle it instead!

    The Silbo language was almost made extinct due to advancements in technology, but thankfully, government intervention has kept the language alive and well, albeit a small fraction of the whole Spanish population only using it (Canary Islands).

    The whistled language replaces each vowel or consonant with a whistling sound: two distinct whistles replace the five Spanish vowels, and there are four whistles for consonants.

    Although the Silbo language is basically Spanish converted to whistle, according to the teacher in the youtube video linked above, theoretically one can use their own language. Just apply the necessary phonetic/audio rules (sorry don’t know the exact term) and you’re golden.

    Absolutely fascinating language based on sounds alone!

    Have a great weekend mga Phlemmings.

    whistles Magbalik intro in Silbo

    EDIT: Holy Shit, Turkey also has such a language! It’s called kuş dili literally Turkish Bird Language.

    Vice has a mini-documentary on the subject. I’ve gotta say parang ibon talaga.

    Absolutely fascinating.

          And is that a bad thing? The womb is a dark, warm, and comforting place. A place for us to get ready for the bright wide world outside.

              Sorry to hear that. Getting stuck is bad, but getting stuck at a bad place is way a lot worse.

              I guess that’s your destination for the time being then: anywhere but there.

              Preferably, someplace where you can take a rest and take stock of what’s happening. Someplace where you can figure out what to do next. Kung baga, kung naulan sa labas at hindi maka-tuloy ng commute, pasok muna sa nearest fastfood or convenience store, bili ng cup noodles at siopao, mag-isip. (Nagka-cravings tuloy ako bigla, lol!)

                  But seriously, mejo joke, pero parang ganun ata talaga eh. Kung naliligaw ka, sige lang, hanap ng tindahan sa kanto, convenience store, o di kaya fastfood. Kumain, pahinga ng konti, o di kaya kahit na tambay lang muna habang nag-iisip ng kung anong gagawin.

                  Bonus points na yung mainitan ang pakiramdam mo, pampawala ng sakit sa sikmura at gutom, at yung makapagpapagaan ng pakridamdam—kahit na malabnaw yung sabaw at puro tinapay ang siopao.

      May naala-ala akong isang instance na itatago ko na lang sa pangalang “E-heads.”

      Wala namang pumipigil sa kanila na gumawa ng sarili nilang instance—kaya naman siguro nila, pero bakit pa? Wala naman silang mahihita. Wala rin naman yung mga papatol sa hirit nila kung gagawwa sila ng instance nila. Nasa FB, TT at YT naman yung mga yun, at parang wala rin namang balak ang mga yun na lumpiat sa Lemmy.

      Kaso parang maganda nga siguro kung may ganun, para dun na lang sila magkalat.
