    in the Netherlands we have a guy named Saint Nicholas that gave money to prostitudes and other poor people to save them, who then decided to join him. The best translation for their names i have is ‘squires’ but not really. Because they go down our chimneys to deliver gifts it’s tradition for them to have ash on their face, which some are calling blackface.




  • Unix computers store time in seconds that have passed since january first 1970. one there have been too many seconds since 1970, it starts breaking. ‘signed’ is a way to store negative numbers in binary. the basics of it are: when the leftmost bit is a 1, it’s a negative number (and then you do some other things to the rest of the number so that it acts like a negative number) so when there have been 09999999 seconds since 1970, if there’s one more second it’ll be 10000000, which a computer sees as -9999999.

    the water you drink probably has been in Hitlers mouth and probably contains dinosaur piss. do you care about that?

    I used to wash the dishes, at least in Europe it’s standard to put all cutlery into 2 dishwashers and after that polish them with a very fine cloth. probably also in the us. (unless you don’t tip of course)
