Found this far funnier than I should have

someone please tell me if this is actually in accordance with how you spell irish stuff

I appreciate your curiosity!! This is exactly how we’d Gaelicise English names.

The J in Jason becoming an S is based on the model of Seán being the Irish version of John, and of Séamus being the Irish version of James. Séason would be pronounced Shay-son.

T is pronounced very softly in Irish, and when it’s followed by an E, it becomes a CH sound. The EA diphtong in Tead is pronounced as ‘ah’. So Tead would be pronounced as Chad, exactly the same.

As above, the EA is pronounced ‘ah’ and the combination GH is silent in Irish, so Hearraigh would be pronounced as Harry is in English, despite the initially alarming length.

Darach is already an Irish name, meaning ‘like an oak,’ and it’s usually Anglicised as Dara or Darragh (pronounced identically to each other), so suggesting Dairech = Derek is just extra funny.

I don’t think I’ll actually be able to scrub Ailfiagh out of my mind. It sounds too Irish, to the point that it’s replaced Alfie as the default spelling for me.

In short, We Need to Talk about Caoimhín (Kwee-veen) is a genius.

I can’t stand elon musk’s simp army like okay maybe they could idk pay for a concerted clean up effort with those billions of dollars they have? You can’t just destroy this planet to get to other ones lol. source

Elon musk isnt even making life hospitable on new planest or even doing anything new. He destorys the envornment on the planet we have, takes decades or even centuries old ideas and passes them off as his own new ideas, his ego is so big he accused the rescue worker that saved the kids from a cave of being a pedophile, and the only word to describe musk is a charlatan. nothing he does is original or new. nothing hes done has contributed to human progress. he almost completely destroyed all the research we had done on mars when he launched his unsterilized car towards it (thankfully it went off course and never landed). Elon musk is a plague on science.

vertical landing rockets were done successfully in the 90s

The hyperloop as a concept has been around since the 1800s several people have tried to make a new patent for it. heres one from 1910
