“Ma’am, I know that your health insurance won’t cover this, but that’s not a problem because I’ll do the operation for free. I only want you to be well.” —— a real sentence I must be translating wrong because it otherwise cannot be believed.
I never understood why people criticized Duolingo for using absurd fictional sentences for teaching until now.

Coding. Math. English. Abacus. Long ago, the four disciplines lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the coding nation attacked.

a giant sentient block that falls on people and, if we’re being realistic, kills them
would putting a whomp on my lawn be considered an attractive nuisance?

a handsome couple enjoys an elegant dinner at an upscale restaurant. in lieu of salt and pepper, they have chosen to season their food with the glow of a poorly-photoshopped moonlamp as big as a cantaloupe. the moonlamp is currently purple, but it may not always be.
just think what you could do with YOUR moonlamp

love how fedex says ‘oh yeah sure you can sign for a package when you’re not home, just click here’ but then you click here and it says ‘unfortunately that button wasn’t real, it’s never been real, and you’re the dummy for trying it every time’

it’s a blocky little boy shoving cookies in his mouth, and if i don’t learn spanish fast enough he’ll run out of cookies and i think he might really die
people say duolingo is just a crappy little game and isn’t worth using, but with high stakes like these, i can’t afford not to keep playing

a coiled up freak snake with egg-sized eyes and an avocado for a nose, not that you can see that in the thumbnail because bluesky will crop this picture to his perfectly normal neck, thereby making a mockery of my suffering
just had a dream that i tried to use my wizard powers to turn myself into a snake, only to turn myself into this freak from dkc2. i spent the rest of my dream-life haunted by the size of my own eyes.
