Its getting quiet 'round these parts.

tl;dr

che and I talk on Skype a lot

Radiation from electronics placed on laps while on the toilet can cause ovarian cancer, even in men. It's the strangest thing.

[Rowan]

I read that in America you say "bathroom" not "toilet" because it's considered rude. Ahhh the USA, land of manners.

[LocoColt04]

Better than "water chamber."

[nix]

Theres alot of names for it, i think it just comes down to preference really; toilet, bathroom, loo, the jacks, the bog, the labratory, crapper, shit house etc

One i use the most is probably the jacks, its Irish for toilet, or i get specific, depending on who im telling, "going for a piss" and "taking a shit"

[Pete]

Well, well, well. Did someone say there's a pot to be stirred?

I used to read when I was sitting on the can. That was back before smartphones and the interwebs. I would go in there with a newspaper and read the sports section and funnies. And when I was in my early teens, I'd, uh, spend some extra time analyzing the women's underwear ads.

Nowadays, I'll just sit and do my business, and maybe play the Simpsons phone game... because I'm addicted.

[Clint]

People who call it anything other than "bathroom" are stupid.

[loaf]

Restroom because i rest and shit

[Clint]

Bathroom, because only gross people don't wash their hands.

[Rowan]

People shitting in a bath? bathtub shitter? japanese grindcore?

[Pete]

I'm more curious about those who either don't have indoor plumbing or those who don't have a toilet where you just sit, but rather a hole where you squat. That concept is bizarre to me

[Rowan]

Apparantly its proven to be the proper way to shit. Theres also science that says it prevents apendacitis.

[Clint]

Science is a lie created by the devil.

[Rowan]

Then the devil has saved millions of lives and allowed humanity to flourish. wtf has god done but watch us die and punish us for not worshipping him. What a holy prick.

[Clint]

An estimated 107 billion people have lived on earth. Approximately 7 billion live now. Science couldn't save that other 100 billion people. I'd say we're closer to extinction than we are to flourishing.

[Rowan]

Damn mortality.

[Joe]

I vote we go back to talking about poop. I hear you can get a squatty potty that can allow you to sit or squat on amazon...

[Rowan]

There are two types of people.

People that use Ebay and people that use Amazon.

[Joe]

I've used both! Amazon when I want to get normal things and not talk to people to get em, eBay for musical instruments and used game items.

[Clint]

Do you mean pooping on the Amazon website, or the Amazon rainforest? Either way, your statement is confusing and makes no sense.

For starters, it's impossible to poop on a website, because a website is not a physical object. And two, although it's possible to poop on the Amazon rainforest, that place is really big. Unless if you store your poop for several decades and then drop it from airplanes so that it rains down on the rainforest, I don't believe that's a realistic goal in life.

[Zargabaath]

I think he means pooping on wonder woman. 2 poops 1 amazon.

I just pooped.

You son of a bitch.

My university has a lot of international students, mostly from Asia. There are signs in almost all of the toilets telling people that they're for sitting on, not for squatting. Every year a first year student will be like "LOLOL hoW do ppl Not now how to use this ?? f" Because they're ignorant **** heads.

Man I shouldn't swear. I'm a moderator here! (I just re-realised this).


Hey, how come you can "dismantle" something, but you can't "mantle" it?

[Pete]

How can one become disgruntled if you're not considered "gruntled" to begin with? I know gruntled is a word, but it's never used.

[Rowan]

This is apparantly why english is one of the hardest languages to learn. It makes no sense. And we pronounce the same letters differently depending on the word as well as having 10 different words that literally mean the same thing.

Actually, English is pretty easy to learn. I'm currently trying ("trying"... I mean really, I'm not doing much) to learn Russian because my boyfriend's family immigrated from Russia - I haven't understood much yet. Plus, I don't really get the alphabet they use. And have you ever learned French? If you want to speak French, you have to know if the sun is masculine or feminine |D Seriously, I can't remember. (I think the moon was masculine, while the sun was feminine.) English just has "the" as an article, while in French you have two: "le" (masculine), "la" (feminine).
And don't you EVER try to learn German: there are THREE articles: "der" (masculine), "die" (feminine) and "das" (neuter). German Articles, everyone! And seriously, I won't start explaining all the cases (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive). Even native speakers don't know how to use them properly


English really is simple to learn. S-P-O, "a"/"an" and "the"... everything's so hilariously easy compared to other languages |D
But that's why I love the English language. It's easy to learn the grammar.
Still, I agree that the pronunciation is weird, and I still don't get the vowel shift completely - Middle English was pretty easy to read/pronounce. (Must be because it's very similar to German. )

[LocoColt04]

English is easy to learn if your native tongue is German - over half of the language's properties are derived from Germanic tongue! It's tough for Latin-based and Cyrillic-based natives to learn English because our sentence structure is opposite theirs, and there are many quirks which make no sense to them. And while many Asian-natives can read and write easily, speaking is another issue (unless taught at young ages) because we have sounds in our language that they never encounter in their own.

Heh, reminds me of Germans who speak English and don't know how to pronounce "th"... |D The sound doesn't exist in German either.
Other than that, I agree with you, English may be easier to learn if you're from Europe.

English has so much slang compared to other languages I feel. I would ask my friend who knows Spanish all this slang and he's like, there is no way to say that in Spanish lol.

English is one of the hardest language to learn because of slang.
