User:Soap/Funny edits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many of these diffs are from quite early, when I was more active here. I am going to tentatively break this up into sections ordered by theme, but might decide it was better when it was mostly chronological.

Nature

Language

[edit]
  • hyvempi :-) Note the very early diff, with just seven digits, where today we have ten.
  • The speakers of the Seward Peninsula dialects are known for their skill in nonverbal communication.
  • These aren't the sort of rumors we discussed in study hall; must have been an interesting school.
  • Excerpts from the Pingelapese language article as of Apr 16 2018:
    • The other cultural influences that are evident throughout Pingelapese history is the Spanish era portrayed in the Pingelapese dance called "Din Dihn" which is loosely translated in English to "Tin Tin". The dance reflects the introduction of a durable and foreign material called Tin by the Spaniards.
    • There is a set of words designated for deceiving long nouns, such as trees or roads.
    • The only other two languages in Micronesia that use triplification are Tibetan, Chintang, Batwana, and Thao.
    • It has been reported that around fifty years ago there was an early orthography taught at the Pingelap elementary atoll. It is not known to many people, but elderly Pingelapese people have confirmed it.
    • The Pingelapse language consists of a total of thirty five phonemes. There are 11 consonants and 14 vowels.
    • Pingelapese has ten syllables and eight vowel phonemes. This is the first recorded Pohnpeic language that has an eight-vowel system. Multiple young and elderly Pingelapese speakers in the Mwalok and Pingelap atoll can confirm this recent discovery of the eighth vowel.
    • Stand alone auxiliary verbs are also a constant in Pingelapese. These verbs are created by taking the ae, aen, e, and e from the pronoun auxiliary complex and will leave the person/number morphemes out.
  • Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah! I know something you dont know! And 🎶Im not telling yo-o-o-o-u🎵
  • We have high hopes. (notice what year this is for)
  • Proof of a lost colony?
  • Yes, those are much better words. (This edit stood unchallenged for over six years while the rest of us blushed and pretended not to see it.)
  • Because I never could get the hang of typing out those annoying IPA templates, I provided a clearer answer.
  • I've heard it's poor form to laugh at our own jokes, but I had help with this one.
  • Who knew this meme was a thousand years old? Now if we only knew the word for toilet.
  • This got changed, but I liked my version better.
  • [1]
  • [2]
  • That's why we call it Mandarin Chinese.
  • I'll do even better. I'll add a ♥picture♥ too

Internal

Unsorted

[edit]
  • Why yes, I've heard of them!
  • [6]
  • The horse was very sad after reading this article.
  • Considering this happened in 1780, I doubt we'll ever get a photo.
  • Oh yeah, this stuff will make you feel reeeal gooood.
  • Who better than an eternal infant to teach us about infants?
  • One of the lesser-known cultures of southeast Asia, the Temiar, are known for their peculiar tradition of wearing laptops on their heads.
  • [7]
  • Ah thanks, that explains everything.
  • Certainly in the running for the most disappointing Wikipedia article title. (Note: I think this was funnier when the article title was plural; it was probably changed because of a longstanding preference for singular titles on Wikipedia.)
  • SOMEONE doesn't like trick-or-treaters.
  • In 2001, Ugandan voters elected a toddler to Parliament. Someone (clearly not a supporter) disputed the details, but thankfully we restored the correct information within seconds.
  • A Wikibooks editor may have inadvertently used the wrong image. This is funnier if you are already familiar with the so-called Arecibo reply. I would've fixed this error sooner, but I figured it was OK because I noticed we won't hear back from the aliens for another 60,000 years.

Notes

[edit]
since deleted:
  • Many superheroes wear bulletproof vests, but I've found an even stronger barrier. (was a link to WIktionary's incontinence diaper definition describing it as an impenetrable barrier)
