what happened in roughly 1870 though

why was there temporary internet

with a few people searching for pokemon?

It’s a search of Google books, but the question still stands, what the Fuck happened in 1870

I CAN ANSWER THIS!!

In the Cornish dialect of English, Pokemon meant ‘clumsy’ (pure coincidence).

In the mid 1800s there was a surge of writing about the Cornish language and dialect in an attempt to preserve them with glossaries and dictionaries being written. I wrote about it HERE.

I just love that this post happened to find the ONE HUMAN ON THE INTERNET who had the answer to this question

I don’t know who remembers it but straight up back in 2008 there were internet wars between Naruto and One Piece over which one was better, and it was most notably called the ‘Pirates or Ninjas’ debate. But this swimsuit. Is a Naruto one piece swim.
It is Naruto One Piece.
After 6 years we finally have the fucking epitome of that internet war in the weirdest fucking pun that has ever graced my eyeballs.
I can now die peacefully.

WAIT SO THE WHOLE NINJAS V PIRATES THING WAS ABOUT FUCKING ANIME. MOTHERFUCK. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE SEEN THAT DEBATE ABOUT WHICH WAS BETTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST NINJAS VERSUS FUCKING PIRATES. THIS SHIT WWAS ALL OVER FUCIGN NEPOETSAND I THOGUTH IRT WAS A N ACTUAL THING BUT ONLY NOW. ONLY NOW DO I FUIND IT WAS ABOUT FUCKING GODAMN ASSLEAK ANIME. WELL PISS IN MY GLASS AND CALL IT CHAMPAGNE

Sometimes we wish it weren’t true, but Jake Sisko is really the most relatable character on Star Trek.

“I miss dinosaurs.”

“Evolution, we’ve talked about this.”

“But I miss them.”

“You turned them into birds, remember? It was the best you could do, given the circumstances.”

“It’s not the same.”

“I know. I’m sorry.”

“Can I at least make these cassowaries 50 feet tall?”

“Come on, you know that size didn’t work out so well before.”

“Six feet, then? And over 100 pounds?”

“Yeah, that sounds better.”

“And can I put weird prehistoric crests on their heads?”

“I don’t see why not.”

“And can they slash people’s throats with their dagger claws?”

“Sure, pal, if that would make you feel better.”

“I think it would. Thanks for understanding.”

“You got it, evolution. Anytime.”
