I can get behind this.
Jo fuck yourself, you knew what you were doing with your example. Now I’m irrationally angry at half the people in this thread.
Man, honestly. I thought using GIF as an example would be a funny way to illustrate this genuinely cool feature. I expected some craziness but not at this level. People comment with passion, holy hell.
I just thought throwing gasoline on the fire would make it become “wet fire”, I had no idea what I was doing!
You knew what you were posting and it’s funny.
I’m literally never going to Wikipedia again because of you.
I know, I’m one of them and I don’t like it, lol.
Know what’s funnier than you doing this on purpose? You stumbling into it face first. :)
Another gift from Wikipedia.
Don’t you mean a jift?
This belongs in shitpost. Bravo on on kicking the hornet’s nest.
We should find a solution everyone will hate. I suggest no more acronym and stick to initialism.
We could start arguing about how the ‘I’ is pronounced instead of the ‘G’. I vote we shake things up and go with a long e sound.
pronounce it “tshiff”
This is about the phonetics tooltip on Wikipedia, the GIF page is just for illustration, because that’s a phonetics topic that many people know.
TIL that you can link to an image using markdown in Lemmy with this syntax:
.THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR ILLUSTRATION AND NOT COMMENTARY.
G as in gif
If the entire internet was replaced with just wikipedia i don’t think I’d mind
good news! you can download the whole of wikipedia (minus the images) for a few gigs.
giggidy!
Sure, but the rest of the shithole would still be there.
Every day we stray further from Jod
Uh, excuse me, “GOD” is actually an acronym for “Great Omniscient Deity”, so it’s actually pronounced /'paɪnæpl/.
I can’t read IPA, but choose to believe that’s pronounced ‘pineapple’
Of course guy is pronounced like juy.
Fun fact: in old English, /j/ (the sound in Yes) was written using a g (often written as ġ in modern old English transcriptions)
Make of that what you will
It’s pronounced yiff, because its the most popular format for furry porn.
If I die and meet JOD I’m gonna punch someone.
Are you trying to start a fight?
Por lo menos en español no tenemos este problema.
When you hover over the correct pronunciation, does it say: ‘g’ in ‘gin’?
