I’ve been keeping a list of words/characters related to times of day since last year. You probably know basic words like 早上, 上午, 晚上, etc. But there are so many other words and characters you may encounter in your language journey! Note: this list isn’t meant to be complete.
Sunset (I think) by Tian’anmen Square about 3 years ago.

Can you imagine just how loud Cybertron is.
The amount of noise pollution on the planet from the amount of engines, ground mode and aerial mode adding to the chaotic noise of the city-states. The fact that hearing planes take flight outside of my room would be a constant as there are seekers and other aerial frames flying about in the sky. Silence is practically impossible unless it’s by some type of noise cancelling device which itself is artificial to help those who don’t want to deal with all the noise or how they would be used to the sounds.
And then how JARRING it is when they land on Earth and it’s SO quiet. Cities such as New York and Chicago don’t compare to the noise on Cybertron and it is so weird to get used to for Transformers. There’s places where there’s no sound, where the sound of cars going down the freeway and the electric hum is practically nonexistent in the mountains where there’s no civilisation. And then going back to Cybertron and realising just how LOUD it all is. Man. MAN.
Just when it seemed the pornbots were gone, they came right back. I've had more yesterday and today than I've had in the past few weeks.
This is possibly the most wrong thing I have seen on a click bait article ever. The more you look, the worse it gets.
It claims to be an X-ray of a pregnant horse.
There are several faults with that assumption:
It is an old school film X-ray, about the size of an A4. It is no way big enough to X-ray an entire horse.
An X-ray machine big enough to X-ray an entire horse does not exist, and would pump out obscene amounts of radiation if it did.
That ‘horse’ is lying down. Good luck with that.
Something very creative is happening with its front legs, feet, hocks and skeleton in general.
It has no internal organs.
The thing it is ‘pregnant’ with is mostly situated within the thorax.
The thing it is ‘pregnant’ with appears to be a dog.
The ‘dog’ appears to be ‘pregnant’ with a cat.
The ‘cat’ appears to be ‘pregnant’ with… possibly a rat?

I love the tf fandom and everyone in it so fucking much I can’t fucking stand it. If there was ever a solid argument for trapping yourself in a flesh prison to slowly die over the next 100 years, it’s being able to exist on the same planet as you people.
Thank you for being alive you brilliant insane assholes
Stardrive is the saddest woobie to ever grace Transformers media and I want to protect her so badly. Nobody has ever loved her, and she’s barely been shown respect or recognized as a person. I reread the whole mini today and I remembered she was very sad but the depths of sadness she experiences still got me. And she’s only five years old!! I wanna see her school days and her adventures before meeting Prowl. I want her to show up in another continuity. She deserves the world!
It annoys me how a common trope on Star Trek is ‘tee hee, I’m a workaholic, I have twenty stardates of leave saved up because I never take a break’ and that’s supposed to be something we admire. Take a holiday, idiot. Especially if you’re the boss. Set a fucking example. It’s the future now and you’re better than this toxic shit.
What language are you learning?😊
Mandarin Chinese (traditional) and Polish. I used Duolingo as a starting point and am now using Clozemaster and Anki cards for vocabulary.
