one of my favourite linguistic phenomena/in-jokes is spanish potato chips being “ham-flavored, probably”

y’see because spain and portugal are so close, labels in stuff like food, shampoo, etc often come in portuguese as well as spanish

this brand of chips, Lay’s, displays the flavor in spanish and portuguese, resulting in ham-flavored chips looking like this:

with “jamón” being spanish and “presunto” being portuguese

however, “presunto” is also a spanish adjective, meaning “presumed” (or suspected)

so you have this in-joke going where spanish chips taste like ham, presumably

@lpitfall

Off-topic, but this hilarious and totally true.

Can confirm, presumably  ham

All Americans in the comments asking why we have ham flavoured chips (which here means “jamón” as in “Jamón Serrano”) in Spain…“SPAIN”. That’s like asking why you have bacon flavoured chips there lmao

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WHAT

December 15th, according to the IM I got from their system messages when I logged in today.

AOL System Msg:

Yeah. My brain broke when I heard about it.

I’m just like. Stunned. I never could have even imagined that AIM would ever…. not…. be there. And now it’s disappearing, and there’s going to be a new generation born who won’t even know what AIM is? o.o

Oh wow, I had no idea it was going under entirely – I’ve comfortably moved to discord but that’s a surprise. MEMORIES

I knoooooooooooow. Literally two decades of memories, like. My entire internet life, with AIM as a way to talk to friends. ❤ I mean, I know other messengers are around now, but. Not quite the same, yeah?

WHAT THE WHAT.

Self harm is :

babyboy-dre:

•making yourself sleep deprived
•making yourself cold (not wearing warm clothes in the winter, sleeping without a blanket etc)
•not eating
•not drinking
•eating too much
•not looking before crossing the street
•scratching
•letting your skin be dry & break easily
•picking at skin
•over-exercising
•substance abuse
•over-working yourself
•making yourself go out and do things even though you’re exhausted
•putting yourself in anxiety-inducing situations (even if you have a choice to stay out of them)
•triggering yourself
•purposefully angering someone who you know will yell at you
•entering relationships you don’t want to be in/being around people you don’t want to be around
•having sex when you don’t want to
•setting yourself punishments
•not giving yourself time
•not letting yourself spend time with the people you love & know will be good to you
•yelling at yourself inside your head
•pinching or bruising yourself instead of cutting
•cutting
•holding everything in even when you have the option of venting
•over stressing
•over thinking
•staying in abusive relationships (friend wise or romantically)

STOP assuming that self-harm is visible and easy to notice. It’s NOT. Self harm isn’t always physical, it can be emotional, and mental as well
