I wonder how strong a gorilla would get if you trained it to body build.

I wonder what the inner monologue of a person would be like if they never learned a language. Would they come up with their own internal language? Would it just be grunting and other primitive sounds?

It would be in American English, of course!

With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Feral children often seem to lack the depth of cognitive function that is normal in nurtured humans, which perhaps suggests that language is integral to our ability to form complex thought and without any the "inner monologue" of a person would necessarily be closer to the latter suggestion.
As far as I know (which isn't very far) "internal" language is not functionally distinct from "external" language and certainly no one of these patchily documented cases has resulted in someone independently developing something truly communicable to other, normally socialised humans.

She sent me a thing about a story idea once and I never responded because I had a sudden wash of awkwardness that was incurable short of a long quarantine. As you know, people only ever make decisions to stay or leave because of me and my reactions to their outreach.

If Nikki sees this post she should PM/email me again, and I will respond in a more timely fashion. And I apologize. :(

Also why did ButtChocolate leave us?


Think he just got busy with life, my dude. Also, I do remember Butts was really anxious to make TCS a very different place from the rest of the internet, but it sort of didn't really pan out that way in the long run. Not a bad thing or a good thing, just a thing.

And is Notch ever coming back?


You should ask him, at his email jugularnotch@yahoo.com

Or call/text him on his cell phone, ###-###-#### (a few people have it, ask them, also on WhatsApp for you international wo/men of mystery)


And now a question. Is there, like, a reason showerheads are starting to come out with LEDs now?

Because everything is better with a higher power bill and risk of electrocution.

a bit gross
Why is ball hair a thing? I mean, if testicles descended to keep them cooler, wouldn't a hairless scrotum help with that?

You know how cats without hair look like wrinkly aliens? Yeah, it's like that.

Is that driving bus which is filled with kittens or driving a bus while filled with kittens?

My answers are, respectively:

-slightly
-very

I was thinking the bus itself is just full of kittens. They'd just be all over you meowing adorably

And then one would crawl under the brake pedal while another distracts you. Then it would be very very sad.
