BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

One common usage is to make local anesthetic more effective during surgery, for instance. It's used in a number of injected medications.

Bee stings contain an enzyme very similar to this medication, so sometimes, people with bee allergies have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

This is called cross-reactivity, where your body mistakes something for the thing it's actually allergic to, and has an allergic reaction anyway. For instance, sometimes people with latex allergies also are allergic to bananas and other fruits. They don't actually contain latex, but there are some similar proteins.

Apparently, hyraluronidase used in humans is derived from one of four sources: sheep testicles, cow testicles, cow testicles again, and GMO hamster ovaries.

eg: "mir/miel" means lake in my conlang, "da" means hill, and "guu" means bear. now that i know that i can name something daguu/guuda (bear hill) or guumir (bear lake). and i can go "hwa" (which means white but in this case pretend i came up with it at random) sounds good with "guu" so what if i name something hwaguu or hwaguumir? and then just repeat the process

some of the things i recommend having words for when it comes to naming locations:

- hill (you can have so many variants that mean hill)

- lake

- river/creek

- valley

- directional words (north, east, south, west)

- road/path

- forest/wood

- clearing/plain

- rock/cliff

a fun little read, sometimes only covers their exonyms in english though, let me see if i can find one that goes into country's names in their native languages

still not quite what i was looking for, but covers groups of people!

so, what brings you to this cursed realm (earth)?

and we could be doing the same kind of world building for earth

religions do that. they consider earth to be the mortal, neutral, chaotic and inferior realm, and rightfully so. if you think about it, while joy is possible on earth, everything is always going wrong.

why do bad things happen in such big scale? how is it possible that so many people decided to engage on large scale warfare so many times through history? why did slavery and colonialism run rampant for so long? how did it happen that the royalty and the church held power over the peasants for centuries? why is the world organized in such a way that someone can sit on top of billions of cash made by people who can barely afford to live? what is the chance of so many coincidences happening that tension between countries resulted in the first world war, which resulted in the second world war, which resulted in the cold war, which results in the US imperialism and hegemony? there were millions of humans involved in every step of the way, there were millions of people with hopes for a good joyful life, and that could have shifted the events towards a peaceful direction. and yet, the outcome is just the opposite, suffering for all

earth is the realm of contradiction

no matter what happens, earth will find a configuration where humanity will hurt itself in large scale, the greatest contradiction of all

you, there, stands atop a cursed realm. there is no hope of ever solving the contradiction, but you can read its currents, ride them or gracefully step out of its tendrils as you please, and lead a life of joy as the world falls apart around you

you have been blessed with the gift of choice

In PotC, the end of the world doesn't exist unless you have directions and is trying to get there. If you aren't trying to, you just go around the world.

I like the idea that those landmarks in adventure time (tree house, ice king's mountain, candy kingdom) could be real and always exist but everything else in between them is passive of change. The world has infinite possibility for adventure but none of it is canon unless someone goes looking for it. Anyone could go from the ice mountain straight to the fire kingdom and only see vegetation. But Finn is looking for more, so for every distant land or dungeon Finn finds about, there's more in the world than there was before.
