I'm going to be sad when the internet goes away because I have offloaded most of my brain storage to the rest of the world. The enshittification of the search engines is already affecting me.
Things I have looked up recently:
- "Harold Holt" (Someone mentioned it was "Harold Holt went Swimming Day!" and I was pretty sure I knew who he was, but I needed to double-check.)
- "Books disbelief" (I was trying to remember the phrase "suspension of disbelief". Some days are like that.)
- "Shyest or shiest" (Both technically correct, but the best answer was someone who said "Just use 'most shy'.")
- "Heraldry rampant" (Writing alt text for a kitten picture and I got a little fancy when describing his pose, but I wanted to make sure it was correct.) (Not correct. I wanted "passant" instead.)
- "Would the VIN have been stamped on a 1972 Mustang?" (Yes, it's for the book I'm writing.)
- "Fender apron" (That's one place the VIN was stamped on a 1972 Mustang. Still not totally sure what it is, but you can buy them pretty cheaply.)
- "What is a fender apron?" (Maybe if I tell it I'm looking for a definition...? No. It gave me another list of parts stores.)
- "Solitaire" (Sometimes you just have to accept that you'll never know what a fender apron is and move on with your life. Or start another game of solitaire.)
Here, have a kitten (Giorgio Furmani) who is "passant" not "rampant":
Kitten Watch 2024
It's tongues out Tuesday for Gianni Purrsace! |
At 8am, all four kittens had reached their minimum weight. Will they stay above the line for at least the next two days? My fingers are crossed!
