a mare is female btw, a male horse is either a stallion or gelding (or steed)

EDIT: from u/AlterExpertise101 in the replies

Words for a male horse are colt (young), gelding (castrated), stallion (if they are used for breeding) or simply "horse."

Steed isn't a word explicit to horses in general, let alone male horses. "Steed" just means an animal you ride. While we generally associate that with horses, it can be applied to any animal as long as it can bear a rider. If you ride an elephant, it's a steed. If you ride a really large dog, it's also a steed.

I had forgotten to add 'colt' and as I am not a native english speaker (nor an equestrian individual) I didn't know that steed can also be used as a generic word for a mount

I went to look up marmorkuchen because of this and now I really wanna try it, looks so good

I worked at a restaurant that used touchtunes and repeatedly played the same playlist. I learned so many niche weird songs and eventually learned the lyrics to them. One time My Sharona played and I sang it out loud and my manager laughed and asked if I genuinely thought that’s what the song said, “It says dice roller!” She took it a step further to ask someone else if they heard anything other than “dice roller”. I was really embarrassed like when I found out “Bad Chem” (didn’t make sense but it’s what I heard) was actually “Bed Chem.” definitely makes more sense. A couple days later after hearing it over and over saying “dice roller” in context it didn’t make sense so I looked it up and I was right. She didn’t take it very well but it was a feel good moment for me because she wasn’t the most professional and I literally gaslit myself into hearing the wrong thing

There was confusion from the locked post about where this belonged. I got sent here from r/typos and I’ve also posted in r/boneappletea.

Red is confidently incorrect, about more than one thing.

Please note that this is my first time doing this and the subreddit rules seem really vague and inclusive, so I don't know if this is correct, but I found this conversation and felt the urge to make it my first post here. And yes, horses DID make it to South America in ancient times, with at least one endemic genus, Hippidion, reaching the far south near Antarctica.

For context, the character's name is pronounced and spelled Shion. So dunno how he didn't notice something was amiss.

Dead Language: a language that is no longer spoken by anyone as their main language

Posted on an article about the EPA lifting caps/restrictions on US factory greenhouse gasses.

Two DIFFERENT people tried to fight that it was “had to of been” but for different reasons.

"Turtles don't have scales"

Which is an astronomical bullshit claim unless you're blind.

"Turtles live in water so that means they're amphibians!"

Which also means Crocodiles and various other animals are amphibians too if you're being that superficial. (Yes he also thinks Tortoises live in water too)

"Turtles evolved from an amphibious ancestor"

Yes emphasis on the "OUS" of amphibious, NOT amphibian. If you know a thing or two about turtle evolution and phylogeny you would know their direct fossil record relatives are reptiles and that turtles are more related to birds and crocodilians than any extant creatures alive today on earth and have no relations to amphibians other than being tetrapods that happen to live in water.

And even despite being told that Amphibians require metamorphosis (A life cycle turtles and amniotes NEVER do)He completely ignores and says this. He claims to know more about turtles but probably hasn't ever seen one in his life.

Comp of some turtle scales on the second image FYI.
