Man, I'm glad it wasn't just white background with the word otherwise, you or somebody went that extra mile.

Is that the Archer font?

He fell into a pile of dicks and dirty syringes.

It's kinda cute actually how they've made themselves a home there.

I'm kinda amused by them. Have they never used Reddit before? Because afaik, Reddit has no local image sharer.

So salty I have to put it on my pretzel.

I never knew that about Imagur. I always just thought Imagur was a place to find tit pic's.

It has built up its own community now and isn't just a reddit image host anymore and imgur people gets angry at reddit because when a image get popular it goes to the front page without any context and it becomes confusing.

I literally have the same kind of scar from the pull-out cutting board.

My cousin let me ride on his back (when I was really really young... Like 4-5?)

He slammed me into a wall because he thought it was funny. My ear cartilage broke. I have a Vulcan ear now.

My aunt and grandmother were getting mad at me for crying over such a small thing.

It's not really visible (it's just a slightly pointy lump), but if you feel it it's really pointy.

I think that cousin is highly autistic. No one ever mentions it in the family though and when he's brought up its nothing but praise. His older brother is practically out oust though because he had a female roommate. No they weren't dating (and even if they were FWB he was like 20 who the fuck cares?)

Come to think of it I haven't seen him in years.

10 years ago, the same exact thing happened to me, except I was chasing my younger sister and I hit the corner of the table she got under. http://imgur.com/eBX7Ulv I recall I bled so much.

When I was 3 I ran full-force in to a glass wall at my dad's office and concussed myself.

Glass double doors, I thought both halfs were opened, turns out only one was (ran into it at max speed)

False. My blind golden definitely understands his surroundings better than you.

I still run into walls (usually I bounce off cornered areas) and I'm 42. Neurologically sound. Clumsy as shit.

I once walked into a glass door. Didn't get hurt, but the door had a nose print on it for a day or two until someone got around to wiping it off. And my sister still makes fun of me for it.

Me too! I was leaning back in one of those plastic lawn chairs at a restaurant and fell backwards. Still have a scar as well.

That is pretty impressive.

By "something terrible", I hope you mean "forgot their password" or something; sheesh...

No need to worry everyone. The kid is safe in my basement.

For being pretentious? Why do you have to bring the son into this even though he has done nothing?

Good lord, don't fuck with /u/LafayetteHubbard, I can't imagine what you'd do if someone cut you off in traffic.

Murder/suicide.

EDIT: Fuck it, I'm leaving it up.

Domenic is kill

I thought he meant that Domenic was OP as in over-powered.

"wtf no am no"

I imagine Mark Wahlberg every single time

There are 5...

Who's the retard now? Huh? HUH!?

I read this in Bill Burr's clown voice for some reason.

Don't worry, you know the two secret great lakes!

He knows about the 5 lakes everyone knows, and the 2 secret ones. Illuminati lizard toddler confirmed.

I'm sure you meant 7 BOOKS;)

I mean, there's also great slave lake and great bear lake up in canada.

Don't worry, they're only a few million years old. Is that too early to consider them lakes?

Good way to remember the Great Lakes:

HOMES

H - Huron

O - Ontario

M - Michigan

E - Erie

S - Superior

HOMES-GW [NSFW]

Huron
Ontario
Michigan
Erie
Superior
Great Salt
Woods

A bit ironic...

HOMES - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. Elementary school education in Michigan FTW

5/7, full points.

You could have played it off as a 5/7 perfect comment. Oh well. I'm glad that's dying anyways.

Just saying even someone this stupid can't possibly think that her kid knows every lake in the world.

"Countries in each continent" maybe 0.01% of all people can name every country in the world, there's no way a kid would do it at 2 years old.

Good news, this kid is 3 years old, so it totally $100% happened

EDIT: oh shit I misread. Leaving it anyway

Let's disregard all her claims, because most kids can barely speak at age 2.

It doesn't say all countries in each continent. The kid probably knows 2 or 3 per continent and the mother just stretched the truth a little.

They might have meant one country from each continent

maybe 0.01% of all people can name every country in the world

Bullshit, I thought as I googled for Countries of the world quizzes.

I need to buy a globe. Or take lessons from the kid.

Maybe their kid's really smart. Some kids know every country and even keep track of ones that change names or have conflicts.

But yeah it's not really common at all.

I can name them all if I have an unlabeled map in front of me. I study a map of the world every morning as I eat my breakfast. But I need the map to remind me, I can't just count them out.

A snippet of a screenshot from my Sporcle profile: http://imgur.com/1QH2JI1

It took me a number of tries, but I got Countries of the World 100% complete in the 15 minutes allotted.

I dunno, give me some paper and I could probably rattle off most of the countries. It's gonna be the tiny, like 10 people countries that'll be the hardest.

could be real who knows

Or she was just joking.

Yeah, it's because Minnesota doesn't have 15,000 lakes like Wisconsin!

Wait...does this have any connection with "Land o' Lakes" butter? Is it from Wisconsin? Or Minnesota? I never questioned the brand name. Maybe now, 36 years later, I know what it all means.

No thats finland

Texas only has 1 natural lake.

There's a reason that Minnesota is called the land of 10,000 lakes.

...There's a major butter company in Minnesota isn't there?

Yep, just looked it up. TIL why the company chose that name.

Apart from "all the lakes" you really don't need to be a savant.

A savant? More like an interest in geography.

It really doesn't seem like she's joking though... The guy at the bottom who commented was pretty obviously making fun of her which is easy to tell but I her commented showed no signs of sarcasm.

This sub is sarcastically challenged.

I... What? It's a pretty common word.

Actually seems like people are taking it seriously though... :|

Im cringing at the amount of people that the joke went right over their head. For people that might not get it, the first reply is a joke making fun of Vicky because 2 year olds don't usually know their abc's

even the "sharon you and your kid are annoying" seems like a joke

I kind of hate this subreddit sometimes

Walking? Yes, that starts between age 1 and 1½. Diapers? Probably not, but some might still be potty training (around age 1½ to 3, there's a lot of variation). Reading? Most likely not (around age 5, give or take a year).

Source: I like turtles

Yes to walking. Maybe diapers, some might still be potty training - though most do that around 2ish. Maybe reading small words or short picture books if they are ahead of the game (I've known kids who can do this at 3). Most will be learning just their ABCs at preschool at this point. Flash cards with simple words like 'ball'. Another thing to remember is that "just turned 3" is a world of difference from 3 1/2 or almost 4. There are massive leaps and bounds in milestones during those early years. :)

They're right here on reddit, but being put ahead in school with taller kids sucks so they shut up.

3-years-olds can run, climb furniture and kick balls, hold crayons to draw, eat (messily) on their own, and put on their clothes by themselves (but will need help for laces and buttons). They should speak clearly enough to be understood by strangers, and can carry conversations for about 3-4 turns. Kids stop needing diapers during daytime between age 2 to 4, usually.

Some will "know their ABC's", meaning they can sing the alphabet song, like they can sing any other songs. Typical 3-years-olds will not understand that the "song's lyrics" are actual meaningful letters that can be written down, though they can recognize some letters (usually those of their name), if they are taught to do so (and they tend to be very rigid about the shape of the letters, assuring you you wrote the letters wrong if you use a different handwriting or font).

Rule of thumb is: Walk at 1, Talk at 2.

Not knowing the ABC's at 3 may be a little slow, but not way behind or anything. Knowing ABC's is a fairly advanced step compared to learning just to say words

Yes, maybe, probably not much

It was. I thought it was funny. And I discovered a new sub. I thought this was iamverysmart!

whats really interesting about vicarious learning is that humans aren't the only creatures that do it. even octopuses are capable of learning by observation.

Please don't tell the tumblrinas, they don't need anymore trauma in their lives.

I have three qualms with you, buddy. You're whelming the shit out of me.

Would you consider torrential, as in, 'torrential downpour", under this same undefined category?

Cool! What are some other examples?

Thank you. I wish Reddit wouldn't have upvoted the wrong answer of "fossil words" to the top.

"Tribulations"?? No one ever uses that word except with "trials and."

(There's a song called "Wish Someone Would Care" that I love except for its very clunky use of that phrase...)

Not really, because it can describe experiencing the same thing (an intense form of empathy) in different contexts. Living vicariously through someone else (making up for feelings of inadequacy by pushing someone to do what you wish you could do) is different to feeling a vicarious thrill (a more involuntary feeling of excitement that is in line with what you imagine another person is feeling) watching someone skydive, which is different to experiencing vicarious trauma (basically empathizing so hard that it traumatizes you) when hearing someone describe their time in a concentration camp. It's the same concept in all three, but has different intent/implication based on the context.

Not quite. You can say, "they are doing that vicariously." It still makes sense and is quite a common occurrence. The, "through someone else" part is redundant but no one will actually ever call you out on that.

Collocation is when two words are used very often together, while fossil words are words that are only used in certain phrases. Both concepts are similar as they are often related to idioms.

Your original comment refers to both:

"vicariously" is one of those words that I don't know if I've ever seen someone use it outside of the phrase "living vicariously through someone else".

--> collocation

Is there a term for words that have a general meaning, but are usually only used as part of a specific phrase?

--> fossil words

Reading my name this many times in a row feels very weird.

Yes, this is what he was referencing

I just realized ours has 5 and it's a very pretty and not especially unusual name.Everyone can pronounce it without thinking twice. I also have 4 and none unnecessary.

Is that you, Queue?

What? We have Thousands. Where are you from?

There's 15 thousand lakes in my state alone, and the state is roughly the size of England. Does England have more? Honestly curious.

Oh it's totally bullshit, but it's still a far cry from multiple fluencies.

Although, there have been some super genius child prodigies. My man Jeremy Bentham knew Latin at 3. But when a kid is THAT good, it tends to be international news.
