Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a grammatically correct sentence in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity. It has been discussed in literature in various forms since 1967, when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann’s Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought.

en.wikipedia.org/…/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffal…

10_0 ,

People who say that this is grammatically correct need to resit GCSE English

disguy_ovahea ,

It is grammatically correct, just semantically ambiguous. Buffalo is a proper noun, a noun, and a verb.

A semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: “Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison.”

In German, we have “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach”. Notice that all nouns are capitalized in German.

PlexSheep ,

But that one is really easy to understand when you know German, unlike the buffalos

Klear ,

Yup. I know a bit of German, but that doesn’t help with the buffalos at all.

TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!

This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people’s lives.

Baguette ,

I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person

For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?

dubyakay ,

Sound about right.

ILikeBoobies ,

Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934

Baku ,

Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I’ve only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else

ILikeBoobies ,

Using commas looks weird here. You never really see anything other than spaces unless it’s foreign

psud ,

I was taught to use spaces for thousands in Canberra

the_beber ,

And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.

What is dearrow ?

AnxiousDuck ,

https://dearrow.ajay.app/ is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

Sekoia , in *insert "bomb them" sound effect*

I’m assuming this is referring to JSO.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stop_Oil

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are “awareness” stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it’s not just that. The UK isn’t an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.

li10 ,

I do question the awareness they’re raising tho, it’s not getting people on their side. It’s not. Full stop.

It’s pushing people away and distracting from the actual issue. People liked the private jet attack, people fucking loathed the stone henge stunt.

Just stop oil is a news topic for Talk TV and GB news to make people hate the idea of protecting the environment, and it’s working.

conditional_soup ,

If you’ve got better ideas, we need them, get out there and get on it. As it is, we’re sleepwalking into catastrophe.

jonne ,

They did say what works and what doesn’t. Attack private jets and block oil refineries, don’t spray paint Stonehenge or paintings. It’s not hard to figure out what’s going to be popular and what isn’t.

naevaTheRat ,
@naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

NOBODY SPRAYPAINTED STONEHENGE

they threw corn starch on it. Corn starch.

actually loads of people do spraypaint stone henge, but JSO didn’t.

jonne ,

Yeah, people don’t care that it washes off easily, they don’t hear about that part, the point is that those actions aren’t popular, painting/blocking private jets is, so just do more of that instead?

naevaTheRat ,
@naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

How many times have your heard about them painting private jets in the news?

jonne ,

There’s that one time they did it, also the time they breached the private jetway in Schiphol and cycled around. Not sure if it happened more times.

naevaTheRat ,
@naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Did you know about this before searching it out? Their other activities?

How many articles did it get in major papers approx? How many days reporting?

jonne ,

I didn’t search it out, that’s what I remember from it being reported on at the time, ie. the thing you asked me about.

yetAnotherUser ,

Hardly anyone supports painting/blocking private jets. Remember, nearly everyone believes they’re just temporarily embarassed millionaires.

Darorad ,

Nobody hears about them shutting down oil factories, attention getting stuff is why those are talked about.

They never do any actual harm either, like Stonehenge was cornstarch, it’ll all be gone the next time it rains. They paint the glass in front of paintings, not the paintings themselves.

lone_faerie ,

Defacing art is a historical form of protest. The Suffragettes vandalized multiple paintings which are now memorialized for it.

womensarttours.com/slashing-venus-suffragettes-an…

li10 ,

My better idea is to not do dumb shit that actively turns people (voters) against the cause. Egg some politicians, paint some private jets, people love that shit.

Besides just saying “AwArEnEsS”, what does JSO actually achieve?

Every single person on the planet is aware of climate change, what we actually need to do is convince people to take action. JSO actively convinces people to vote against action on climate change.

Sekoia ,

… The root of the thread you’re replying’s main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.

li10 ,

The point I’m trying to make is that despite the good stuff they may do, it’s overshadowed by the dumb shit that’s turning people against the cause.

Those actions didn’t achieve much, and I’d say anything they did achieve has been undone by their other antics.

Do you know anyone who has been convinced by JSO to take more action against climate change? It’s only people who are already onboard cheering them on.

I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO, and general consensus among anyone I know is that JSO is doing more harm than good.

bloodfart ,

I have been convinced.

I used to think like you, that it’s counterproductive, but if anything they’re not going far enough.

someacnt_ ,

So sad we cannot bomb the oil facilities.

petrol_sniff_king ,

I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO,

And you let them? What kind of limp-dick shit is this.

pingveno ,

Every single person on the planet is aware of climate change

I’m still trying to get my husband’s uncle to get off his easy out of “well I guess it’s happening, but humans didn’t cause it.” He, along with a lot of other people, are in an echo chamber. Obviously plopping pigment on monuments isn’t going to do shit to convince them, but I don’t know what will.

Yes. It belies the fact that they don’t want to think about anything past surface-level reactionary takes.

grrgyle ,

I didn’t loathe it.

als , (edited )

The reason they stopped directly targeting oil infrastructure in the UK is because the oil/gas giants bought injunctions (private laws) banning protest near them, leading to people going to prison for holding signs on a grass verge outside an oil refinery.

Pretty sure the Chad is trying to defend their country by destroying the aggressors revenue stream. (I could have missed some other news though.)

I mean yeah, in the context of Ukraine. You take that out of the war and its classified as terrorism to just destroy oil refineries I’m pretty sure
