We just need the Bell Riots to happen to get us back on the right timeline.
For the millennials in the audience, he also taught us about recycling and care of the earth as the voice of Kwame on Captain Planet.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Do you think because bacteria's are what makes farts smells bad and then we say "follow your instinks"?
7·5 months agoBecause someone has to. For the word “instinct,” from Latin instinctus “instigation, impulse, inspiration,” noun use of past participle of instinguere.
- in - “into, in, on, upon”
- stinguere - “prick, goad,” from PIE *steig- “to prick, stick, pierce”
So, in the end, the “stinct” has more to do with the word stick than it does stink.
