The CBB

Congratulations friend on growing the Lehola Galaxy!

Now you're going to have to come up with all the words that pertain to Udj's world(s)!

Edutaining Criminal Justice! There was once, in the land of Angera a particularly eager archon by the name of Crowell whose sole delight, it seems, was devising what some might consider cruel and unusual means of punishing the wicked. But never let it be said that Crowell was a mean sort! For he wa...

There are no such devices in the World of Yeola-Camay. However the Mark VII Pegopansophicon has a visual display that is capable of showing imagery. It has no widgets or search bars per se, but there is a sort of avatar, the Interface, whose expressions are annoyingly endearing as its face rises up ...

Just passing through.

The Witenagamot Decrees It is written that from the earliest times, natural philosophers have observed the nature of Gea and all philosophers have calculated and conjured and taught the same doctrine, namely, that there lies at the centre of our world the coalesced and petrified quantum of all pond...

I wish mine were that good! Anyway, thanks! Will check ZBB as well.

Do we have any (proficient / (near) native language level) Irish Gaelic speakers hereabouts? I'd really appreciate some help with a few short Google Translate results. Kindly PM if you exist!

Gaelic baffles me.

Old Irish, much easier!

Fellow at the beginning looks a lot like P.D.Q. Bach's great great great grandson or Peter Schickele.

When is Sepctober? Some philosophers, in particular Diemme of Mensis, hold that this particular month never comes, because it does not exist. Having carefully researched the great Book of Days and cross checked with all known calendrical systems, they declare that Sepctober is a foolish aberration ...

Hopefully you won't skimp on the worldbuilding posts here, either! Your descriptions sound delicious! I plan to eventually post some sketches of some of my conlangs, once some early drafts are ready to be shared, I'll make sure and write about the cultures they are from as well! And the food, of co...

Conlanging has become a big part of both projects, and my relatively lack of expertise in the subject is what led me to this forum. I hope to get advice and feedback on my conlanging projects, and to eventually become knowledgeable enough to help others! Hopefully you won't skimp on the worldbuildi...

Hereabouts, there's no such thing as too necro!

I think this thread has veered off topic a fair bit (although, again, I'm still not sure what the original topic was supposed to actually be), so, if possible, would people mind getting back on topic, or it might be worth locking the thread Sometimes a thread just doesn't have a strongly focused or...

I think the answer here is that I'd call such a person "potential mate". Especially if she's smart & cute. She has no blood / genetic relationship (probably); and I tend to lose track of "family" relationships at about "parent's parent's sibling". If I met my grandm...

tikoo wrote: ↑11 Oct 2021 21:08 Right. How to ask for a cheeseburger? That is the exam.

So, sweetie, what do you want to eat?
I eat this thing relation to love.
This?
Yes.

Hmmg. I think I'll just stick with the cheeseburger, thanks.

I'll be sure to enquire about their cheeseburger and exam prep course!

What are all the notes, exactly? A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# Those are the twelve tones of western music, of which all western music is comprised in all genres and time periods. If you used this method you could “translate” classical pieces backwards or write a pop melody that encodes a...

Can tell an absurdly funny joke.

An Idist, a Poliepsist and an Esperantist walk into a bar.

They each take the bar exam.

I really hate having to explain jokes.
