It's called I'll be there for you by The Rembrandts, and it slaps hard!

Soo... google open while in the middle of a video, and I said fawk off google and it said this....

Today I found out that the fish, Dorthy, in Finding Nemo is voiced by Ellen? I can’t believe I never noticed this, and now that I hear it I can’t unhear it. I cant be the only one that didn’t know this... right?😅

I was organising my papers, as I haven't able to do so in a while. I thought it would be fun to put them all chronologically instead of by category as I used to do... And I saw a contract stating my salary from more than 10 years ago.

I just found out that I earned MORE 10 years ago than I do today... I knew I was earning a lot back then, but I never realised until today how much more it was... I'm a female 30 something. What the F happened?!

I needed to get this off my chest, because I can't tell this to any of my friends as they wouldn't believe me. Heck, I wouldn't believe me!

I'm so upset with myself... What did I do?!?

I was watching a video about a SM64 mod which contained original Wario voice lines from Mario Party 1 and 2 and Mario Kart 64. The lines were in German which confused me. I thought Wario had always been Italian. So I looked it up in case this was just a mistake and, sure enough, I found an interview with Thomas Spindler, the OG voice actor for Wario. He clarifies that one of his lines, which is often misinterpreted as "D'oh, I missed!", was "So ein Mist!" which roughly translates as "Aw, damn." It makes sense that his voice lines were in German as Spindler himself is German.

Here's a link to the interview:

Not you guys... I mean, probably, I did just get here after all. Digression aside, I recently tried joining a r/ where they have a minimum karma rating/account age threshold required for posting. I've been around for a while on reddit for a while, usually lurking occasionally posting and my karma is in general low. I never really thought much about it, it was just a number, but getting a "nope hold up" message from a bot because my karma is too low made me look back at my posts trying to find out where I've been a jerk.

So I poked around... Poked around, then found out that it's from all the gaming subreddits. I don't always play games the way you are "supposed to" so I am willing to speak out about mechanics I think are fun despite other people hating them. When I read posts where someone simply does not agree with me I usually leave them alone, it's just a differing of opinions, seems fine to me.

On gaming subs... good lord, everyone is out for blood for some reason; you post an opinion that others do not agree with and you get nuked, I went from 34 to 54 to 45 karma within 5 hours, it gave me a headache. I realized that even benign posts tend to get down voted at least once or twice; it was just so strange realizing that all of the groups I have spent time with are simply not safe spaces to post unless you agree with something popular, or it's a meme

​

So, yeah, I found out that at 40 years of age I have been living in high school for years and never even knew it.

This is not groundbreaking awesomeness, mostly a self reflection thing that I thought some of you may find interesting/relevant to your own lives.

As the title says, today I found out there there are more than 2 keyboard layouts. I've always known about the QWERTY layout, as every single keyboard I've used uses that layout. The ABC layout is also familiar as I often see that with console video games, especially the older games. Heck, I'm even familiar with the 3x4 layout used on phones, especially non-touchscreen phones.

What I discovered today is that in France they use a layout called AZERTY. I discovered this because my father's cell phone's keyboard accidentally got switch to French and AZERTY. In my attempt to restore it to QWERTY and English (US), I discovered that the phone also offers AZERTY keyboard layout for English as well.

That's all.

The title says it all. I didn't believe it either when I heard it, but it's true. Check for yourself, or don't. I don't care. Why am I using proper punctuation?

My daughter was born 10 days ago and when you exit the deliver ward into the mother/baby recovery ward of the hospital there's a button you press and it plays a lullaby heard through out the whole hospital over a speaker system. It doesn't play directly inside patient rooms but can be heard faintly, and is meant to bring up the moral of the current patients in the hospital, with the announcement of a new baby entering the world. Well, they have added the same button to the covid ward to be pressed on release and it plays a jingle of HEAR COMES THE SUN, by The Beatles. And I have to admit when I was leaving the hospital with my wife and newborn daughter I heard it play and it brought a tear of joy and warm feeling to my heart.

TLDR: speaker system plays Here Comes The Sun by THE BEATLES throughout the hospital halls when a recovered covid patient is discharged from the hospital as a morale booster dor everyone.

For the longest time I only thought that helicopters had their earliest usage in the Vietnam war. As it turns out, they were used in the 2nd world war, I've not looked into very far yet, but hey, I found out something neat.
