He's English. We're lucky he didn't steal it and stick it in the British Museum.

I sometimes wish there could be a button for "I chuckled at that!"

Is that not what up voting is for.

iirc upvoting is supposed to be for good content that fits the magazine and promotes discussion, regardless if you agreed with it or didn't like it. ofc no one ever uses it like that ever, lol

That's how it was on Reddit, and idk about lemmy, but given you're a kbin user too: the kbin upvote is actually a like button. It's called "favorite". You use boost for your use case.

Here to plug one of my favorite podcasts: Stuff the British Stole (no affiliation)

I have no idea how this happened, but I originally read that as Stuff (verb; as in cramming something into something else) the British Stole (as in a priest’s scarf/vestment). So I essentially read it as “cram something into the British scarf”.

Brains are weird.
