Because english and a lot of other languages have just stopped changing their spelling to reflect speech, this is useful because it means you can read older texts and you have a fairly standard system of spellings so people don't get confused, but it means you're left with spellings that you just have to treat more like how chinese works, where it represents a concept but has absolutely nothing to say about how it's pronounced.
A lot of words in english look fucked because they're straight up from like 300 years ago.
Take "knight" for example: it used to be pronounced like it's spelled, /k-nei-ch-t/, and you can see how cousins like german and swedish have kept this pronunciation in Knecht and Knekt (although now meaning completely different things).
You can also see why we tend to have this standard unchanging writing if you compare to people who write in dialect, where it can become as incomprehensible as the spoken dialect.
Example from Terry Pratchett’s The Wee Free Men:
“Crivens! It’s a’ verra well sayin’ ‘find the hag,’ but what should we be lookin’ for, can ye tell me that? All these bigjobs look just the same tae me!”
genuine question: are you okay? you kinda give off paranoid delusion vibes
the way it works in sweden generally is just that you have to sign up for a queue some time in advance, and whoever has the most queue points (i.e. most time in the queue) gets priority for new contracts.
for the record, all of this is utter and complete nonsense and you are out of your mind, just so no one reads this and takes it seriously.
Modern flash freezing is basically magic that suspends time, you lose maybe 1% of nutrients and even extremely fragile stuff like berries don't lose much quality so long as you don't thaw and re-freeze them.
here's an article from the USDA explicitly stating that freezing doesn't destroy nutrients.
steeve is a good bug
truly enlightened, he has shed his arbitrary values on what food combinations are acceptable.
knowing how a maccas burger will make my body emit that very specific smell for like 2-3 days, i can only imagine they had to get new furniture for that room.
they're apparently 7cm wide including the legs, so more like the size of a mouse and even then it's being a bit generous.
beans and onions are famously difficult to grow and transport, yes.
we live in a time where with the magic of freezers we can literally make bags of mostly nutritionally complete food that can be kept frozen for at least a year without any loss of quality, and then you can just toss that in a frying pan when you want to eat it. Healthy food isn't a luxury, it's quite cheap and easy and everyone would have access to it if it weren't for a small amount of abjectly evil people actively preventing it.
who wouldn't enjoy danish people being sad?
