@DanielFischer I have checked it and you are right kann is conjugated for 3º person so it's correct. Thanks

@WeaponX BTW: The German Language chatroom is not dead (we are just waiting for input) and neither is our site.

What a strange room are we become.

Have we?

A light language room when all other language rooms have gone dark.

anyone mind translating this book for me: books.google.com/…

@V0ight The whole book?

well the first paragraph would be a good start

By translation, you mean, "make it less froufy"?

Dear Sir, When I left you, your final words and elegant manner obliged me to describe the {Western?} sights I had seen.

I now dip my pen into ink to fulfil this obligation.

Since my childhood, I have been able to lead those who can stand my pedantry to the very beginning of events.

tacopantography, amirite?

And it would be a clear divergence from my usual storytelling if I didn't ask you to remember the place where we parted.

@MattE.Эллен Good lord.

I didn't get the third sentence very well.

I have begun at the beginning? That might be better.

Anyway, there's a list of terms at the end.

LOL well done.

Hmm. It has a different sense of lucubration than I do.

are there any other books like this one? I find it hilarious. It would make a great troll-gift to someone

I don't know. Maybe Wiki would have similar titles or a descriptor you could google.

No, no, not lucubration. You're thinking of a can with a Dino on it.

uhhh. No, no, not lubrication. You're thinking of when I'm feeling sad.

dino can

What.

@KitZ.Fox translated, it's still froufy. Translated again "Let me tell you about stuff"

Translated again: ""

"You wanted me to tell you how things were here, so here I am telling you."

@KitZ.Fox no no not lugubrious. You're thinking of what the walrus said.

Why can't @MετάEd be thinking of what the wlarus said?

I'm so bad at this game!

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lucubro#Latin I think he conflated the Latin 'lucubro' for 'lucubrate' for whatever reason. Maybe it's a joke, as he doesn't know that what he's doing is 'lucubrating' haha

@V0ight oh, that could be. haha

Ha! In your face, @MattE.Эллен!

Today we're tied, which means I'm on top!

No, no, not goo goo ga joob. You're thinking of that automotive hand cleaner.

goop. Goop?

@Wrzlprmft Alright. Danke!

@KitZ.Fox nice!

I kinda meant to post that in the mod room. Hope you're not upset.

no :D

Good. 'Cause boo-yah!

giggles

@MετάEd no no not what @KitZ.Fox said. You're thinking of that hand soap made from volcanoes

@Mitch No, no, not Lava. You're thinking of the basis for a logical argument.

hmm. that's kind of a huge leap.

I play by whatever rules feel right. phonological or semantic.

but that's still a hard one

Well, it depends on whether you know what Lava soap is made from.

@KitZ.Fox no no not rule of inference. You're thinking of Hume's difficulties with extracting knowledge from experience

@KitZ.Fox pumice?

@Mitch Yes.

pneumobacillusvolcanoconiosis?

@KitZ.Fox no no not hummous. You're thinking of that middleesatern chickpea spread.

premise

@Mitch I thought that was hummus. Maybe I should just watch you all play it some more.

@KitZ.Fox oh. nice.

@KitZ.Fox I did too but I keep seeing 'hummous' so I thought I was wrong.

also too much like soil=humus.

which is also nutritious in its own way

if you're an earthworm

or like earthworm poop.

Oh, I was thinking that might be the connection you were making, but I couldn't remember how that was spelt.

no no not lebanese chickpea goop. You're thinking of earthworm poop.

@Mitch That edit looks like Community approved it though, which is the weird part.

Looks like Dog Lover edited the anonymous edit and that 'approved' it? I'm confused about this timeline.

yeah weird.

yeah. that is weird. is there an "accept and improve" button? maybe that's what did it

Yeah, I posted an answer.

ah. it's called "improve edit"

That looks like exactly what happened.

"use some more higher tier words"?

yeah.

for emphasis

@KitZ.Fox No, no, not premise. You're thinking of ... well, because you had one of these, you knew what I was going to say you were thinking of before I said it.

Oh! Not a premonition! You're thinking of this thing that I just did, or you better be thinking of it, at least.

What? you can do precognition? Then you've already forgotten what I'm about to say. But to remind you it's about bubbling up.

Um. Precarbonation?

your memory is faulty...because you didn't use this method with your coffee.

I'm stumped.

Oh percolate! I thought you meant roving around leisurely.

@MετάEd I was thinking admonition.

No, no, not admonition. You're thinking of shells, and balls, and rocks, and pumpkins, and marshmallows.

Ammunition? Why how very learned of you!

@MετάEd no no not what @KitZ.Fox just said, you're thinking of shells, but not the rest. prehistoric shells of animals that became extinct during the permian-triassic event. and not trilobytes.

human shells!

humans are extinct, right?

diatomaceous --- no that's not a thing.

brb

tada!

@MattE.Эллен close!

it's gotta sound alike at least a little

@KitZ.Fox sure that's a thing. usually it is earth that is diatomaceous.

@Mitch I mean it's not an extinct shells thing.

I just did an ASMR vid and now I'm feeling like I need to do something creative.

Diatomaceous earth is a pile of skeletons of little diatoms.

But they aren't extinct, are they?

Diatoms are still something living somewhere?

Right, there are living diatoms today.

Extensive research suggests ammonites.

Oh! I remember those from Animal Crossing.

No, no, not ammonites. You're thinking of some Jews who floated to America and turned black.

What? You can't mean Mennonites?

I mean Ammonites.

...

Well, I just learned something.

Also, I'm shopping for computer parts so I can upgrade to Windows 10 and make it stop hassling me.

Because new processor = new mobo = new ram

And then I might just as well get a new case, cuz this one is falling all to shite.

@MετάEd no no not Edomites...wait, that's red. also I thought you said turned back.

@KitZ.Fox computers can now be treated as ballpoint pens. thoughtlessly disposable.

@MετάEd No no not ... whatever that is. You're thinking of what you say to signal that the other person should agree with you.

no, not "hey, agree with me"...

affirmation?

no no not amirite. You're thinking of another way of saying the same thing.

lol

inorite?

haha lol yes.

2 + 2 = fish
x + x = triangle
y + y = eight
// find x and y

x = triangle / 2

y = eight / 2

no no no no no no No!

yes.

I think it'd be helpful he would shut the front door. You know, we're not air conditioning the whole outdoors!

Just go write a whole blog post about it.

deletes bunches of comments

I have so much semantic satiety that I can't even look at the question. I should never have suggested that it be reopened.

@KitZ.Fox No, no, not inorite. You're thinking of that term for fool's gold.

meh, no one gets get my riddle

well no one is plural

try to understand why two 2 makes a fish

then it's easy

I love riddles. But I can't see the answer.

I know that if you take annoyed, and adenoid, you get a paranoid.

@MετάEd pyrite? Wasn't that the name of that van Halen album?

@caub I thought real hard about it for 15 seconds. I didn't get it so I stopped. I thought it was a reference to dr Seuss.

@caub two 2's are what ballerina's wear.

Was that it? Was that the answer?

@Arrowfar hi! I'm not really here. See you!
