I had the weirdest dream last night where it was about a next big meme trend, and it was basically another this vs that meme but it was “Lock screen vs Home screen” whereas the lock screen was depicted as something formal and relatively uninteresting like a businessman sitting at a desk while the home screen was always something chaotic and insane like gorillas fighting alligators and it. People would take sides online on which person they were more like, home screen or lock screen and it made absolutely no sense and I
Reality: The lock screen is full of high-contrast detail (currently a picture of me and the gf), the home screen is the lowest-contrast default background (currently a space pic) I can find so I can read app names.
I did not know until just now that it was possible to have the lock screen and home screen be different images, and I intend to change nothing about my phone now that I know.

Hebrew: ‘This one verb is used to mean 10 different things, I’m an economical language like that, good luck figuring out what this verb means each time’
Also Hebrew: *Has about 8 different words meaning ‘lion’*
I feel like every single person deserves to read OP’s tags cause fuck they are accurate.
Also like…
Hebrew: every single word is heavily gendered and there are Very Strict Rules for gendering every word and number and shit
Also Hebrew: these words SOUND like they’re female words, you will gender them like female words, and you will be WRONG.
Also also Hebrew: except for knives and the sun. These two can be whatever gender you like. And everyone will argue because they’re sure only their gendering is right.
