One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

TIL acoustic bicycle is an actual term that you will get results for if you google it.
Whence my favourite retronym: acoustic bicycle.
Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’
Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no.
Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough.
So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.'
‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’

When I was on Amtrak, I asked for hot tea and I got Lipton. Thankfully I had a case of Harney and Sons Earl Grey sachets in my bag.
Like genuinely I normally don't mind bagged tea, but Lipton is somehow just *that* bad.

Care about the space you work in and don’t just put up with bad chairs and tables if you can. You don’t need to spend a lot but you’re going to be putting hundreds if not thousands of hours into work space over the years. Care about your posture and get up and walk around mutable times a day.

I literally do not care what anyone is saying on twitter or fucking truth social. Stop cooking your brains on this shit. Stop forcing it down other people’s throats. It’s so fucking annoying.

Wang Shishen 汪士慎 (1686-1759), October 1728:
每餐先备买鱼钱，曾记携归小似拳，
一自爪牙动黠鼠，傍人安稳卧青氊。
I set money aside for fish before each meal.
She used to be no bigger than my hand --
Now with claw and tooth she routs the crafty rat,
And drowses by her humans on her mat.
