So, this is both fascinating and remarkably simple once you learn some basics about how spoken language evolves.
Let’s start here: say “woman” out loud. Now, say it again, and this time pay attention to your tongue. When you said “woman,” did you pronounce the “o” sound at the front of your mouth, higher in your mouth, and the “a” at the back, lower in your mouth?
Now try this. Say “women,” again paying close attention to where the vowel sounds come from in your mouth. First pronounce “women” as it is written- kind of like “woah men.” Do you feel how much more work that requires that pronouncing “woman” does? Now, pronounce “women” as you naturally do. Assuming you are in North America, this probably sounds a bit like “wimmin.”
Probably, this “wimmin” pronunciation feels easier and more natural. This is largely because those vowel sounds originate in roughly the same area. When a word has multiple vowel sounds and they move from front to back or top to bottom, there’s a good chance we will naturally shift towards an easier pronunciation.

4·3 years agoThe two are unrelated, just happening confidently AFAIK. That said, the purpose of a widespread strike is to make people that would normally be unaffected pay attention. Grinding the economy to a halt forces action, at least in theory.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•What’s left of my childhood NES gamesEnglish
4·3 years agoHi, I do console repairs and I’ve done a metric ton of NES. If that 72 pin connector was after market, it will probably wreck your games. If you still have your old connector, or if you can buy a used OEM connector, do the following:
get at least 70 percent iso alcohol and a toothbrush and scrub the connector pins. Next, take the old connector, boil it in water for half an hour and let it cool. Reinstall and test. Don’t be afraid to hit the pins with iso again.
This will save the vast majority of oem connectors, and your games will thank you.
My oldest reddit account was 13 or 14 years old. I remember when reddit would go down several times a week. Growing pains are just part of the deal!
Someone else can explain it better, but basically the bicameral mind theory posits that the two hemispheres of the human brain only began communicating effectively in recent human history. Based off of symptoms related to illnesses we see now in the modern day, it is believed that this could be a plausible explanation for ancient humans claiming to have spirits, gods, etc talking to them.

That’s one reason I’ve ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.
