@eldang i’d present a third category, which is like the second in that its a funny ridiculous gag but the company actually plays it straight and lets anyone who really wants to buy the thing buy the thing (for example, if you buy magic the gatherings “left handed” cards today, they will actually send you a copy of the card with the art flipped: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/secret-lair-knows-its-left-its-other-left-2022-04-01

@kiesa i mean i’m glad that kids are learning cooking terms — sometimes it feels like we’ve given up on the idea of cooking as a common skill. But yes definitely needs to be learning, and not just assuming they know with no context!

pool tables have pockets and you generally score by knocking the balls into said pockets (in eg 8 ball, which is the most popular type of pool, there are additional rules about which can be pocketed when)

Billiards is a broader term that *technically* applies to pool but also applies to all other games involving knocking balls around with a cue on a table. So since pool is a popular billiards variant, people often use the term billiards to mean ‘a billiards game that is not pool.’ These games are played on pocketless tables, so its reasonable to make a distinction

@pagrus i’m glad that wasn’t actually your first instinct! Tho I understand the urge

Per the recruitment post «Quoiromanticism is a concept that originated from a disidentification with romantic orientation, due to the specific intracommunity norms of the asexual community. The same principle has since been applied to gender and sexuality. However, you do not need to identify with a specific term in order to participate in this survey. If you are unsure whether you are part of the intended demographic, you are invited to err on the side of yes.»

Since I know there are some ace/aro adjacent people on fedi: Coyote is doing a #quoi identity survey!

@irina if always assumed it was an extension of the ‘dont think of pink elephants problem’ — if they’re task planning while you talk then its very easy for the ‘dont have to’ to get dropped as X is added to the top of the queue
