  • Yeah it’s not really even a joke it’s just for the clapter. If someone said to you “it’s like we’re living in a dystopian future” it would be the same level of humor as this post.

    The only thing putting it in a four-way venn diagram added was to explain to the reader that the person doesn’t know how venn diagrams work.



  • The F sound is usually a labialdental fricative in English. So you are putting your bottom lip on your teeth and letting some air go by to make the F sound.

    English has bilabial plosives where you touch both lips together and let air stop for a moment which makes the P or B sounds.

    English doesn’t have a bilabial fricative so you might be doing this in your dialect and it doesn’t stand out to anyone because it doesn’t otherwise have a phonetic meaning. But, interestingly, in other languages a bilabial fricative has distinct meaning from a labial dental fricative. I believe I’ve read that in Japanese the “F” in “Mount Fuji” is actually a bilabial fricative and not the normal F that English speakers use.
