Re: Hypothetical Question: What Would Happen to Human Society if a Universal Translator was Invented?
So for one that's the same cultures but isn't the word being the same: I had zero idea what "brown sauce" actually is until I tried HP a few weeks ago.

Re: Solo was just going to let Leia die in Star Wars
Lol. God damn April the 1st.
Y'know what the problem is? 2025 is satire incarnate. The Simpsons and GTA were joking about the world we live in twenty years ago and now here we are. I didn't even blink when I read the first comment.

I've never had a ''biscuit'' so i'm just going by the images, but it REALLY looks like a scone to me. I'm completely open to being corrected though. Edit: So I just Googled ''American scone'' and you're right, its nothing like a British scone. What a fantastic piece of evidence we've just witnessed ...
