Was Romanian created by poets or something?
Excerpt from Wiktionary: Romanian Etymology Inherited from Latin lūmen (“light”) (see figurative meaning as the "light of life"). Cf. English (anything) under the sun "(anything) in the world". Compare also Slavic свѣтъ (světŭ), meaning both "light" and "world", and Hungarian világ, which also originally meant "light". Doublet of lumen (SI unit of measurement), borrowed from the same Latin source. Pronunciation Noun lume f (plural lumi) 1. (also figuratively) world 2. people Synonym: oameni 3. humanity, mankind Synonym: omenire 4. (archaic, regional) light Synonym: lumină

SUMMARIO IN INTERLINGUA Le Uso Del Factor De Roentgenotransmission In Estimar Le Densitate De Osso Le factor del transmission de radios X in osso pote esser usate como criterio del densitate del osso. Es describite un dispositivo pro determinar le factor de transmission e su application a mesurationes del densitate de osso. Le transmission in ossos spisse es plus basse que in ossos tenue, sed le spissitate del osso non es le sol factor que determina le procentage del transmission. Per consequente il es a supponer que le densitate representa un variabile importante. Ben que le numero del sitos anatomic que se presta al mesuration de densitates ossee es restringite, le lectura directe del roentgenotransmission es capace a promover determinationes rapide e incostose con alte grados de exactitude.

Ακόμα πειραματίζομαι με τη συνταγή, αλλά προειδοποιώ ότι χρειάζεται τα μικροκύματα (γιατί δεν έχω έναν φούρνο στο σπίτι 🙃).

(ακόμα μαθαίνω τα ελληνικά, συγγνώμη για τυχόν λάθη)
Κέικ καφέ: • Δύο αυγά • Μισή κούπα λαδιού • Μισή κούπα γάλακτος • Μιάμιση κούπα αλευριού • Μια και τέταρτη κούπα ζάχαρης • Ένα μισό κουτάλι τις σούπας μπέηκιν-πάουντερ • Μια πρέζα αλατιού • Για τον καφέ είχα χρησιμοποίησα πλήρως διαλυτός σκόνη καφέ χωρίς καφεΐνη που υπάρχει εδώ στη Βραζιλία (40 γραμμάριο σκόνης), δεν ξέρω αν υπάρχει στην Ελλάδα. Με τη γάλα πιστεύω ότι είναι σχεδόν μια κούπα πολύ δυνατού καφέ με γάλα συνολικά Ανακατεύετε όλα τα υλικά σε κάτι (που μπορεί να περιέχει 1,5 λίτρο ή περισσότερο) μέχρι το μείγμα είναι ομογενής. Για να ψήσω, το βάζω σ'ένα καλούπι πουτίγκας πυριτίου, αλλά ένα γυαλιού επίσης είναι καλά. Το τοποθετείτε στα μικροκύματα και χρησιμοποιείτε δύο λεπτά τέσσερα φορές (γιατί αν το ψήσετε οκτώ λεπτά συνεχής η ζύμη μπορεί να ξεχειλίζει). Το κέικ καφέ, ένα καφετί, σχεδόν μαύρος κέικ, στρογγυλό με μια τρύπα στη μέση του, και με ένα κομμάτι ήδη βγαλμένο. Το χρώμα του εσωτερικό του είναι πιο ανοιχτό.

Thank you, Google, for making up for my forgetting to switch keyboards 😅 I'm surprised this even worked
Google search result for "ξουο κανξι", which was supposed to be "joyo kanji", but I was using the Greek phonetic keyboard. First result is the WIkipedia article for Joyo Kanji, meaning it actually searched for what I wanted it to, even though the Greek text is phonetically quite different from it.

Top part of the image shows a person holding two pictures. On the left, a photo of a Brazilian layered cake made with biscuits, and on the right, a very thick book. The subtitle in the top part says "Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture". The bottom part shows a woman dressed in formal clothing looking slightly to the left of the camera. The subtitle says "They're the same picture".

Based Baldur's Gate
One of the most popular recent tomes of leadership and influence is the cynically entitled book "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Like others of its ilk, it peddles a philosophy of personal ascendancy and manipulation by charisma alone. The authors and advocates of such tomes claim that, by drawing on the most recent theories in sociology and interpersonal psychology, it is possible to raise an individual's Charisma by a single point. In truth, such increases in personal charisma are the product of magical spells placed on the text as it is in the writing process. These same spells also cause the tome to disappear after their first use. An excellent marketing strategy, you must concede...
