My clock ticks, but the hands don't move...

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

I (12NM) have worked out a system with my roommate (30s, F) wherein I can let her know that I’m hungry and need more food by chewing on plastic, something she hates. Given that she does not speak Cat, this is a reliable way for me to pass along information. However, I also find chewing plastic fun and tasty on its own merits. This causes my roommate to ineffectively curse at me. AITA for eating plastic whenever the hell I feel like it, whether there’s food in my bowl or not?
