This is also unironically a good way to get more comfortable spontaneously speaking a language you’re learning. Don’t know the word for refrigerator? Cold food box. Don’t know how to say yawn? Tired sound. Etc. You’ll be more or less understandable and people will probably tell you the word you need when they figure out what you mean.
Well if the language is German, there’s probably an 80% chance that you get the right word this way
this is great advice.

I will keep this in my thinking blob.
The word for that is “noggin”.
“Noodle” is also acceptable
Not cool
This is very good help do things words.
It is also the only way to speak in Toki Pona
Toki Pona is overdoing it, but it’s also how Esperanto is doing it: fridujo = cold-container. Also German, now you’re mentioning it: Kühlschrank = cold-cabinet.
Toki! Sina pilin seme?
toki a!
Yep. I don’t speak Spanish. Learned all my extremely limited Spanish in restaurant kitchens. When I walk my dogs, and one of the many Spanish speaking Mexicans that lives nearby looks nervous, I tell them, “Perro es bueno por hombre. Perro es no bueno por otra Perro.” They understand what I mean even though I just butchered that sentence.
Congratulations, you are now a Strange Planet writer
A vanilla mocha latte with soy milk is just a 4-bean soup
Drink it from a cup made of soy paper and you’re still just holding beans.
- coffee beans
- vanilla beans
- soy beans
- ???
mocha is chocolate so made from cocoa beans
mocha>chocolate>cacao beans
Can’t believe you forgot Lima beans you moron.
Am I stupid or is the vanilla flavor extracted from the bark of the tree, not some beans? Do vanilla plants even have beans?
Nope, vanilla beans are a thing.
Maybe you’re thinking of cinnamon, that comes from the bark
Right, I was thinking of cinnamon. But when I picture vanilla extract, I see this small dry and black stick that doesn’t even resemble a bean.
Yeah they are weird beans, more like a pod I guess. But I think the ones you see used for food have been dried. I’m actually not sure what a fresh one looks like
If regular milk it’s a 3 bean soup with nipple juice

The ol’ Deviled Creme Egg. Haven’t had one of those since college.
I feel you’re underselling our bag of water, organics and calcium sticks nature…
That’s more like fish and amphibians. We do things internally.
A computer is just a really hot pile of sand.
Speak for yourself. I keep my pile of sand pretty chill.
A computer is a magic box with a poisonous green cracker inside.

A human brain is just anxiety meat!
You have solved the entire universe for me
Roanoke gaming is the guy I heard refer to human brains as “anxiety meat”
Electronics are just sparky silicon.
The way transistors and integrated circuits are made is called lithography. Stone scribing. If you describe it that way, electricity sounds like magic.
Magic circle transcribed in nano meter scale sounds even more magical than the magic itself
Electronics are magic boxes of poisonous green crackers with black rectangle bugs crawling on them.
And the black rectangle bugs stop working when the magic smoke gets out
Ah, the literal German translation.
we’re all just various beans in a trenchcoat
Human Beans.

Lemmy is just word water.
If you ever played a survivor game you know. 2 stiks, 1 rope = a Houe
Gas is just dinosaur breath.
Gas is mostly derived from bacteria. Something like 10% is from multicellular organisms. Carbon based bacteria was around exponentially longer and made up more biomass
Get out of here with your science!
No no, we must encourage it!:
Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
Gas is mostly derived from bacteria.
Here’s what gas has to say about that:
Perhaps you mean flatus.
Funny
TO Think such a horrible thing would be uttered by a member of my own family…
Water is just oxygen hydrogen!

Call me when tea, coffee or lemonade taste of something beyond bitter water
If your lemonade is bitter, you’re making it wrong.
do you like, like anything?
Not flavored water
Sujamma tastes like garbage and makes you stupid.
Call me when you develop the palate of an adult.
Listen, let’s not shame the EdgarSuit.
