“Bliðne Gebyrddæg George Æðeling! ㊗️🎉 Mine betstan wuscas micelre blisse and sela!!”

You gossip about your friends. I repeat publicly available information from the 1890s about Thomas Mann. We are not the same

IT’S HAPPENING

Circumstances of birth in Old English: æðelboren = “noble-born” ċeorlboren = “of modest birth” cyneboren = “of royal birth” dēadboren = “stillborn” fulboren = “born on time” unboren = “unborn” samboren = “born early” (literally “half-born”) sīðboren = “born late”…

Translated the “this is bait” meme into Old English since people keep replying to me with it

“Oy vey” is a fully Germanic phrase. The English equivalent would be “Oh woe,” or in Old English, “Lā wā!”, which actually appears in Anglo-Saxon writings.

I’m writing a story where the main characters are Jewish, so I’m looking to learn more about the Jewish people. Does anybody have a fun fact about Jews?

In Old English this would be: “An gescead hwy swa fela manna geortreowað is for þæm þe man fægernesse of openlicum life afeorde. Man mæhte fægre stallas gewyrcan, fægre tregnas. He mæhte þisne middangeard swa leoflicne gedon.”

One of the deepest etymological mysteries in Old English is “Siġelhearwa,” the word for an Ethiopian (IPA: [ˈsijɛlˌhæɑ̯rˠwɑ]). “Siġel” was an ancient and poetic word for the Sun, and even the name of the S-rune ᛋ, but “hearwa” only appears in this compound, so no one knows what…

I’m pretty sure people who say they “don’t care what people think” just have a baseline level of being liked that they take for granted. They couldn’t handle being autistic for a week.

It’s funny how people on here think light features are all from Scandinavia. Like as soon as you cross the border from Denmark to Germany everyone’s a Melanesian

Now I’m accused of being Scandinavian. That settles it: soon I’m gonna post my ancestry results and have an Ethnicity Reveal. Take your bets now.

It’ll be funny if someday I’m known as the last living Igbo speaker

If you search the word “Anglo-Saxons” on here, half the results are Russians complaining about the Anglosphere, since it’s their pejorative word for us. It’s touching that Russians see this connection between us and our past.

One of my “woke” beliefs is that the West should’ve left Africa alone. Treat it like a giant nature reserve. All these indigenous cultures would survive for us to learn about, AND they wouldn’t suffer from overpopulation. Maybe they’d create Wakanda.

>Talking to a woman from Uganda >She says she’s from the Acholi people, which she complains has no unique culture left >I go “Oh yeah, your flag has a little elephant on it!” >She says “Elephants are our totem”

BASEBALL POSITIONS IN OLD ENGLISH Hitter = slaga (“hitter/slayer”) Pitcher = wyrpa (“thrower”) Catcher = fenġa (“catcher”) First baseman = forma weard (“first guard”) Second baseman = oðer weard (“second guard”) Shortstop = midhyrna (“one who is between bases”) Third…

My mom has started saying “welks” instead of “your welcome”
