Baba is the word for father in a bunch of languages.
As one of the first utterances many babies are able to say, baba (like mama, papa, and dada) has come to be used in many languages as a term for various family members:
father: Albanian, Arabic, Western Armenian, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Greek, Marathi, Marshallese, Mingrelian, Nepali, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Yoruba, Shona, Zulu
grandmother: many Slavic languages (such as Bulgarian, Czech, Russian, Serbo-Croatian and Polish; a doublet of bubbe), Romanian, Yiddish, Japanese
grandfather: Azerbaijani, Zulu (father, grandfather)
baby: Afrikaans, Sinhala, Hungarian
You can hear the zulu one in the opening lines of The Lion King song Circle of Life.
"Nants ingonyama bagithi baba." literally means "hear comes the lion, father"


Babies first sounds are usually a consonant followed by a vowel. So ma, pa, ga, gu, ba. A few months later they start duplicating the sounds while testing out their speaking abilities so you get mama, papa, gaga, googoo, baba. Which are common first words for lots of baby things. Like baba for my sister was her bottle. Every baby might not say every variation while they’re learning and they will obviously have favorite words but generally that’s why we consider baby speech like that. Maybe english just happens to choose the “g” for the leading consonant because we have a lot of hard g words in english and that’s what babies pick up on first.
here in colombia there is a drink additive called Kola Granulada and it’s basically a multivitamin with cola extract. It’s pretty tasty and everyone adds it to all sorts of juices including lemonade. I like in with orange and passionfruit juice.


I live next to a large road in a city and can verify that cars are loud as fuck even without external speakers making customized car ringtones.


They already do that with moving billboards. In my neighborhood the billboards are louder than my tv at half volume. Really pisses me off when they roll by.



I’ll save this comment and report back next time i have an ear worm.


My brain is dumb. It likes to only repeat parts of songs so even if i made up an ending it’d still just go back to the part i was stuck on. It’s why i can’t do the second song thing because then i’d end up having some weird remixes going on.


I find playing the song i have stuck in my head to completion gets rid of the earworm. If i played another song i’d just have two earworms.


Leave your damn phone at home and use a vpn.


The enigma machine is over 80 years old now. That was just the last machine before modern computing. There were all sorts of other machines and techniques for cryptography long before the modern era. The first forms of encryption are over 3500 years old.


Topologically we’re all just donuts.


Or perhaps most of our history and evolution was ticked away theoretically and we are only actually simulated when we are visited.
Sounds like Last Thursdayism


Lydia, hand me my gazpacho spoon!


They just wanted you to clean out the tomb. Grabbing the horn is proof. They give it right back to you and if you go back to the tomb and put the horn back you get a free dragon soul.
I want to meet the person who has a dev environment for their home media server. That man is my hero.
Those services get shut down randomly by cops and money problems. My local server doesn’t get shutdown.


Black holes emit thermal radiation. Sometimes they can be way hotter than 3 K. It depends on the size of the black hole. They higher the temp the smaller the black hole.
You can go read about Hawking radiation, Hawking temperature, and black hole thermodynamics if you want to learn more.


In the beginning there were mitichlorians and then there was light…
I respectfully disagree.
At papa johns in colombia they have nutella rolls. They’re basically garlic knots but instead of garlic they use nutella. They’re amazing.
