In 1982, quite by accident, a zookeeper at Izu Shaboten Zoo in Shizuoka Prefecture discovered that capybaras absolutely loved soaking in hot water, and the practice of providing them an onsen, or traditional Japanese hot spring, was born. Source Massimo; video @yu_haradakei.

I don't want to say "you should never listen to a non-linguist about anything involving language", but like... man, people are so wrong about language. If you are learning a language and want to know how it works, don't ask a native speaker! They don't fucking know! Ok, they do, but not in a way they can convey to you. They'll tell you some wrong shit!
"How does this grammatical construction work in your language?" — you'll get the wrong answer
"How is your language different from English" — you'll get the wrong answer
"What is unique about your language" — you'll get the wrong answer.
"Oh ho ho, I am the exception, I am a very educated person in general and I would never—"
Wrong. You don't know shit. Language doesn't work like that. The things you think about language are wrong. "I always heard it was—" wrong. "I always figured it was—" wrong. Oh my fucking god you guys you would not believe how furiously wrong everyone is about linguistics all the time. It's wild.

You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again
“redneck” is a valid culture, not a euphemism for “bigot”
So this has probably already been said on this post but I dont wanna scroll through 66k notes to find it.
The term Redneck gain prominence with striking coal miners in Appalachia. They wore red bandanas around their necks to express union solidarity.
And they fucking FOUGHT police and Pinkerton strike breaker forces. It was a period called The Coal Wars.
The poor and working classes have a long history of community support and rejecting police authority.
If you’re pro-cop, you’re not a redneck, you’re a bootlicker who based your personality on a played out Jeff Foxworthy caricature. Get bent. Your ancestors are ashamed of you.
People who perform manual labor should be not only given high and liveable wages, but unlimited access to healthcare and physical therapy to help manage the myriad conditions that come from doing back-breaking work.
Like this is not an absurd concept. It bothers me that people think that it is.

Why is Democratic control of the Senate important?
- It would be much easier to make policy on key issues like healthcare, LGBTQ rights, climate change, tax policy, immigration, and economic recovery. You want Biden to be able to pursue progressive policies? Control of the Senate would be a major boost.
- Biden’s legislative and international agenda is majorly compromised if the Senate becomes a stalling point. Avoiding legislative gridlock is crucial to getting things done in general, and particularly to manage the pandemic and start undoing the damage Trump's administration has done.
- The Senate confirms senior government appointees to the administration - this affects Biden’s ability to pick his Cabinet and appoint judges.
- If the Democrats are able to gain control of all three offices, they can change the filibuster, making it much more difficult for Republicans to block measures.
- Conversely, if the Senate is the only chamber that Republicans retain control of, there’s a major possibility that Republicans will use it to be purposely obstructive to progressive policies, just because they’re progressive and also because it’s in their interest to make a Biden presidency as ineffective as possible.
