Yeah and it’s giraffe, not jiraffe. See how that gets us nowhere?

Debunked? Its a counterpoint to the fact that it’s pronounced that way because it’s spelled with a g. If that poor argument wasn’t used, the giraffe one wouldn’t have to come up. It’s not evidence of anything other than that letters can be pronounced in more than one way.

For the graphical thing, imagine pronouncing NASA wrong because of the way aeronautical is pronounce. Or underwater in scuba. World in WHO? The I in AIDS isn’t pronounced anything like immunodeficiency.

Your argument doesn’t work either.

With the other pronunciation. Some letters have more than one. Your statement is nonsense lol

So how do you pronounce giraffe?

Udderly silly, guy

Really milking it aren’t you

Bullish behavior

Don’t have a cow

Haha pun thread moo yourself

Absolutely. It’s a public safety issue. Just don’t come off as rude and they should appreciate it too

“How do you control the masses when so many of them can vote?”

Less so in Lemmy than previous websites, but I still anecdotally find OP comments to get more traction.

It’s those first seconds I am referring to. The pole does make more sense to me. Also not a physicist, but it irks me just the same.

Bad physics. Totally pulls me out of immersion.

No, Captain America cannot lean back and hold a helicopter that is lifting off. It doesn’t matter how strong he is - he will be lifted once there is enough force generated from the propellers. Basically anything Batman does that involves gravity in the Nolan films is similar.

The magic I can get behind. The mutant stuff or dragons or even time travel in superhero movies doesn’t bother me. It’s the lack of sensible mechanics on an alleged Earth that I’m bothered by.
