October 27, 2027, if you're in Europe IIRC

I apparently had to verify that 59000x0 was still 0 for some reason

I've seen this meme before and I definitely have intrusive thoughts about licking my gf's Himalayan salt lamp. Still haven't tried it yet, even though she said I could when I jokingly brought it up, because I'm pretty sure it would be disappointing.

It's pretty much the least used SI prefix. Apparently used somewhat frequently in central Europe for "decagrams" (10s of grams)

Idk about the English translation, but the bad guys were definitely called homonculus in the French translation of the mangas.

Edit : oh that is what you said. I got confused because of the term "chimera". Serves me right for not reading the whole comment thread

Pretty sure the whole family posing with guns for Christmas is beyond corny, even by American standards.

At least the last part should be easy to work around : just make drastically different-looking cards. Since it plays nowhere near actual Uno that should be enough

Yeah that's the "normal" raclette appliances you can get anywhere in France, from roughly 20 to 100€ depending on the model/brand. It still tastes amazing, because, duh, it's melted cheese with potatoes and charcuterie, but as you said, not as fun (and getting big blocks of cheese basically forces you to buy the good quality stuff, whereas the industrially pre sliced ones are often of much lower quality)

IIRC it gives a pretty significant advantage as most fencers are used to right hand opponents

Random stat I found on a site that doesn't cite a source :

While only 10% of the general population is left-handed, roughly 30% of Olympic fencing medalists have been left-handed.

Edit : Apparently it's not just about unfamiliarity, due to how fencing works:

However, the geometric differences in left-versus-right fencing mean the advantage can be narrowed but never fully eliminated

Replace "french" with "English" and you know how non-english speakers feel on most of the Internet. The point is, this joke only makes sense if you're very familiar with English pronunciation (and only some specific accents, I might add) and/or don't instinctively read the French brand name the French way.

It's a "O" sound followed by a "Z" sound. So, if you have a really, really weird way of pronouncing "pussy", I guess.

The main difference is that they melt the cheese right off the wheel and they usually pair it with "grenaille" potatoes (basically a variety that's really small, so they are kind of roasted when cooked)

You can try it at home but you need specialized equipment to melt cheese wheel chunks, over here you can loan them from some cheese shops, it looks like this:

When eating it in a restaurant they will usually do that in the kitchen and just bring the partly melted chunk at the table and scrape the melted cheese into your platter though.
To be honest I'm not sure that melting the cheese directly from the wheel changes the taste, as long as you've got good cheese, but it looks glorious, and looks are actually a big part of the culinary experience so I think it still plays a part.

Also there's kind of a dispute over whether that process actually comes from Switzerland or not IIRC, but it is more widespread there nowadays
