Motion picture or moving picture was too long to say so they made it cute sounding and called them a movie

well if you think about it, a movie is a long series of single picture frames on film, and to project it as a movie the film "moves", over time i'm sure instead of saying motion picture or moving film it became slang as a "movie".

debunked.

hey guys one time i was high and i figured out that everything that happens is predetermined by the big bang and the motion of all the particles in the universe. you only think you have control over what happens when really everything is a mechanical and chemical consequence of being bombarded by atoms and different fields and the cumulative effect is so complex and the specific organization of your brain that gives you thought is actually just reacting to everything and you don't really have a choice in anything. but you think you do.

I tried to trick the big bang for a solid minute or two upon seeing this. I would decide I'm gonna do something but then at the last second decide I wouldn't, I'm always wrong though. That is trippy as fuck

"epitome". I always have to read it a few times before I remember how to pronounce it. English is so fucked.

Hahaha I love this thread. I do this frequently with the simplest words - it drives me nuts and makes me anxious. Sounds like straight gibberish after awhile.

I was taking a test today and I wrote the word cross, and I was like wait, that's how you spell that? That's so weird. And then I stared at it on the page, convinced I spelled it wrong.
