[aphanon_meme]

Meme, you did it! And on Christmas, too!! How fancy. How was your year? It's almost the new year and I don't know about anyone else, but I'm excited to enter the 20s. We can finally bring back some excellent slang, like "That sounds berries to me!" or "I guess I'd describe myself as a cancelled stamp." Have a good year... and don't take any wooden nickels!

Enjoy part 369!

fandom shibboleths

[(Anonymous)]

what are some references/injokes (from hetalia or other fandoms) that sound innocuous without context, but that are guaranteed to be recognized by its fans? you know, phrases you could pepper in to signal you're familiar with a fandom while the words fly under the radar for anyone else.

so not like "buhyoo" since that's pretty tied to hetalia, but maybe, idk, "it's okay, i'm american!" or hell even "i will fuck you, holy bitch" given the right context.

the virus has been speading since late last year

New genetic analysis shows coronavirus quickly spread around the world starting late last year
From CNN's Maggie Fox

A new genetic analysis of the virus that causes Covid-19 taken from more than 7,600 patients around the world shows the virus has been circulating in people since late last year, and must have spread extremely quickly after the first infection.

Researchers in Britain looked at mutations in the virus and found evidence of rapid spreading, but no evidence the virus is becoming more easily transmitted or more likely to cause serious disease.

“The virus is changing, but this in itself does not mean it’s getting worse,” genetics researcher Francois Balloux of the University College London Genetics Institute told CNN.

Balloux and colleagues pulled viral sequences from a giant global database that scientists around the world are using to share data. They looked at samples taken at different times and from different places, and said they indicate that the virus first started infecting people at the end of last year.

“This rules out any scenario that assumes SARSCoV-2 may have been in circulation long before it was identified, and hence have already infected large proportions of the population,” Balloux’s team wrote in their report, published in the journal Infection, Genetics and Evolution.

“Our results are in line with previous estimates and point to all sequences sharing a common ancestor towards the end of 2019, supporting this as the period when SARS-CoV-2 jumped into its human host,” the team wrote in the report, published Tuesday.

“It’s very recent,” Balloux said. “We are really, really, really confident that the host jump happened late last year.”
They also found genetic evidence that supports suspicions the virus was infecting people in Europe, the US and elsewhere weeks or even months before the first official cases were reported in January and February.

Balloux’s team had their findings reviewed by other experts, a process called peer review, before they were published in the journal. He said some reports by other teams, published online in on what are called pre-print websites, may have drawn incorrect conclusions.

“All viruses naturally mutate. Mutations in themselves are not a bad thing and there is nothing to suggest SARS-CoV-2 is mutating faster or slower than expected. So far we cannot say whether SARS-CoV-2 is becoming more or less lethal and contagious,” Balloux said.

They found one from France, he and his family had it on 27th December. It's possible that it arrived really soon to Italy, for example, and quietly spread multiplied there until the hospitals got finally overwhelmed.

Maybe a bit later to those countries where the situation is still quite calm. At least it can't spread secretly anymore.

Re: itt: books! and book recs

[zeetee]

I've been reading The Epic of Gilgamesh during my lunchbreaks, though I stalled at the last tablet because I drifted into reading good omens fanfic. Work from home loosens one's standards. :'D

I recently read Circe by Madeline Miller and reread Abel's Island by William Steig, because books about characters stranded on deserted islands and finding their true selves is just such a quarantine mood, y'know? Circe was excellent, I devoured it, it was funny and beautiful by turns and the gods were depicted with just the right amount of alien morality. Abel's Island is a childhood favorite, I read it in an evening, and I realized just how much of the animated version I had memorized. Certain lines of dialogue were lifted directly from the book, and I could hear them clear as day in Tim Curry's voice.

related, Broadway is now shut down until Labor Day. At least. There's no way that shows will be touring, either. I kind of just .. laughed when the local opera house + theater sent me info about the 2020-2021 season and wanted me to buy tickets.

meme events

[(Anonymous)]

of course our numbers and activity are too low for a full event, so what are some meme events you would've liked to see when we maxed a part within a week or something

or if you want, what are some special events/themes for like a page or two that you think could still work today

oooor talk about your favorite meme events or moments from meme events or whatever

as long as it's related to special meme events, talk about it itt!

If coronavirus wasn't enough of a deterrent to going to restaurants, this sure will be!!!

Y'know I didn't really count it as a phobia but now that I think about it there are several specific mannequins from the Maine State Museum and the local minigolf that I spent my childhood viscerally terrified of, I really think I would have a bad time at this restaurant
