The fruit is where we got the word for the color! There was no color word for orange until the fruit started becoming known and traded around the globe. Boggled my fucking mind as a kid when I learned that.
Edit, it is early for me… As I don’t know anything about the origin of aubergine… is it the same deal? And I just need to wake up and catch up, lol?
Glad it doesn’t only happen to me! Lemmy juust small enough still that I regularly find myself on some old posts, especially when checking out a “new to me” community. May your comment help the next passer-by!
Yeah, can’t believe I was misgendered before even seeing the post. Damn. Time to tell my fam I’M the man of the family now.
I feel I need to share how this appeared in my feed.

I dont want to get my hopes up. I think dude may just be tired and hurt, ready to be done.
I’ve seen a lot of folks posting FBI setup but, what about a glory seeker? Someone who was like damn, I look like that dude, and got his shit together to go “be found”. Been plenty of copy cats and false confessions for all kinds of crazy crimes in the past.
I want my body donated to a body farm.
Wow! I had to go looking, he was having leg pains and they did an MRI ro find 90% of the brain missing. Wow. IFL SCIENCE
Oh fucking hell I hate this thing.
I am going back to school through work. I didn’t have this bullshit in my younger days. It’s made me drop my honors courses due to an asinine endless loop of hell.
Whatever X percent matches as plagiarism. Professor says Y% is calculated for, for template formatting, etc. Still have some highlights of 3-4 words here and there, starting or ending paragraphs, “describe “blah”” answers that no matter how you re-word them something highlights. OK. Get creative with wording and phrasing, rewrite again.
Now I’m pinged as using AI to do my writing. What?! Asshat prof basically has to side teach me where to check for this, school doesn’t have a tool. Fucker, I am old and can write faster than some chatbot. They’ve prob been trained on my whole generations writings.
Anyway. If I cleared the plagiarism, I failed the AI writing check. If I corrected my paper and cleared the AI check, I failed the plagiarism again. Fuck Turnitin.
