Icy pops. Known by many different names regionally, it’s those plastic tubes with frozen sugar water in them
Hot water on skin + sweet frozen water in mouth = mmmmmmm

61·17 hours agoMany of these seem dumb because they’d work better as just the actual word. Saying “ten four” is worse than saying “acknowledged”. It adds no additional information, just adds pointless complexity.
Some of them make sense because you might not want people in earshot to understand what you’re saying. But ones like 10-4 make no sense.
Is there some point to it that I’m not seeing?

Sounds so backwards. The problem is they’re referring to the verb of the word “pit”, meaning “removing the pit”. So “unpitted” means “not removing the pit”. So dumb.

You’re right to think that, because that’s how both words began!
My guess is it came about because people were using it to mean “something so bad it fills you with awe”. Like “the thing humans are doing to the environment are awful”. But then it lost its connection to awe.
That’s my guess.
No that’s different. A contronym is where the same single word has two opposing meaning. OP is asking for two separate words that sounds like they should be opposites but actually have the same meaning, like flammable and inflammable which both mean “can catch on fire”.
That’s called a contronym, which (as you said) is different than what OP is looking for

Honestly i think it’s quite possible that earth actually is rare on that regard. Most planets are majorly more uniform than earth. Conditions have to be juuuuuust right for a single planet to have water that exists in all 3 forms at the same time on different areas of the planet. That fact alone creates 4 of the 6 boxes.
iirc I’ve heard about this device from memes for a few years now. Is it actually coming to market or is it vaporware?
To me that’s a terrible workaround. You have to make the screen painfully bright to drown out visible reflections. The screen brightness literally has to be brighter than the brightest light source that’s creating reflections
Like what kind of clubs?
Does it have to be a change for the better?
4·12 days agoThat’s not the part that needed a source. Obviously other languages exist. Your claim about it being predict to become the most spoken language is what needs a source.
I did a little websearching and the reasons were brevity and secrecy. This is a reasonable rationale for some of the codes, but not for ones like “acknowledged”.
