The explanation I read is that skull is cranéo in spanish - "cranium" - which would give us C = 3rd letter of the alphabet. The jury is still out on the cross, but perhaps "god is number one" or something. Never mind that actual MS-13 members have no qualms about tattooing the actual letters all over their bodies instead of elaborate ciphers...

None of this matters though, focus should be kept on the right to due process. They can smear him all they want, it doesn't change the facts.

Since "handla" can also mean "act" - "Act european!" - "köp europeiskt" works a lot better.

An elephant? Why not the wooly mammoth?

All I know is that I now completely understand why the T-Rex was so aggressive all the time.

how that created babies

Exactly how wasn't known anywhere before1875, however most humans through history seem to have had some idea of there being a connection between sex and pregnancy. I remember reading about isolated island peoples having other ideas, like the Trobriand people who believed that an ancestral spirit entered the woman's body and that sex had nothing to do with it. However this article claims those reports are half-true at best; the Trobriand people apparently considers sex necessary for the formation of the fetus, even if it's not the primary cause. There's also some speculation that humans became aware of the relationship between sex and pregnancy after the domestication of dogs because of their shorter gestation period. Ultimately, we'll never know...

Genesis 38:8-10

Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name. And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing[.]

In all seriousness, since apes do it (a lot), I don't think there ever were a "first person in history". It's more just a consequence of having long enough arms.

A lot of assumptions here... clearly this is going nowhere.

As a general rule, where quality of output is important, AI is mostly useless. (There are a few notable exceptions, like transcription for instance.)

There's a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called "taming your triggers".

Podcast name? Thanks for the tips here

I just say "I frequent a few niche forums". No follow up questions. I'm old as well.

I'm guessing the reason that The Cure (debut LP from 1979) is on this list is that it was made by an american, that first heard them because of "Friday I'm in Love"?
