dafuq is bouba and kiki
thanks mate, didn’t think to actually Google it (I thought it was gonna be some made up rizz rizz fr fr skibiti toilet shit)
It’s basically skibidi toilet for scientists.
I hate this so much, but I can’t do anything but agree.
Afraid to chase information just in case it makes you feel out of touch
all words are made up
Side note: the game “Baba is you” was named after this effect, and features a character named kiki.
Actually the character is named keke.
But I didn’t know the rest.
I’m a simple person. I see a linguistic meme, I upvote
Well said. More attention should be given to the subconscious perception of important concepts. (Ok now I think about it this sounds quite 1984)
1984 was partly about how consent is manufactured using language. It’s a reality that the powerful systems exploit every single day very effectively to drive us towards extinction so the lines keep going up.
There’s nothing wrong with using those tools for good. Too many leftists are so concerned with the substance of the message that they forget how important the presentation is. I’m sure a lot of people think it shouldn’t be important, but because we’re social animals and not analytical engines of pure reason, it does matter.
Hmm true
But we’ll be using it for the good of humanity here… oh
No no it’s fine it’s just that if we want people to behave and think in certain ways, we can shape that by controlling what language they have available to express certain fuck I’m doing it too, aren’t I?

Wet bulb is terrifying because it reminds me of my thermodynamics class
Most people never have a thermodynamics class though. To them “wet bulb” sounds like a piece of medical equipment.
No offense, but to the uninformed, wet bulb could as easily evoke images of spring flowers in cool spring morning dew.
It’s what the media does to make you feel like it’s not that big of a deal.
Do you remember when it used to be called global warming instead of climate change…
I think we mostly stopped using that term because conservative idiots keep saying “it got cold outside once so global warming isn’t real”
Interesting
