150 Weird, Maybe Useless, But Definitely Fun Facts To Know, As Shared In This Online Thread

And Fire Marshall. His name is a play to what he is

No job too big, no pup too small.

Paw patrol is based on this. (Fire) Marshall is dalmatine, Chase (someone) is a German Shepard cop,...

🤦

Yep! I tell people when they ask me about breeds and I ask them what they want. If they say running companion, I tell them either get a Dal or a Vizsla

The deafness actually came later. It's a result of inbreeding as the popularity of dalmations grew with private households peaking around the time of Disneys 1001 Dalmatians. Especially prone to deafness are individualls with blue eyes

I thought that too.

Right. That was my understanding. They're often deaf, so were not spooked by the sirens. As far as I know Dalmatians aren't Yowlers. But... Bored Panda.

Ooooh! I see what you did there! *APPLAUSE!*

Username checks out.

Some deaf people use 'hearing' to describe watching a person sign to them. Some blind people use 'seeking', even if the person is totally blind.

You can only be pedantic when you're right. Otherwise it's just displaying complete ignorance. People with a disability use normal words, just like everybody else. Someone who's blind can see things differently, someone who's deaf heard it through the grapevine, and as a wheelchair user I still go on regular walks with my boyfriend.

It's still looking for something to a blind person. This comment comes a cross as very condescending

For a while, i worked with some hearing-impaired people, who constantly used signing (Auslan). One of them (some hearing, lip-reading, signing) made a good-natured quip about another worker (who was almost entirely deaf) to me and another worker. She spoke for my benefit, and signed to the other worker. We all giggled, then the joke-maker burst out laughing heartily. She explained that the lady she'd made the quip about had seen her signing, and signed back 'i heard that!'. (Side note: they taught me some Auslan, and i taught them semaphore. Of course, they were adept students of semaphore, and used it to communicate over longer distances, with speed and expertise that i could never match.)

Good job picking a user name🤣

Pedantic, all right 👅

Depends on if they were always deaf or not. I can hear stuff in my mind.

That was deafinitly pedantic.

🙄

Well named, sir.

If I hiring for a proof reader, you are automatically accepted

Umm...I don't even know where to..wow you have no clue about deaf/hearing impaired people do you PP? please, keep on making yourself look like an ignorant jack@ss, btw my grandmother would've knocked your head with a wooden spoon

You are just on fire today! 🎤

Or convenience?

except its not entirely true.

Always a worthy cause

But, is the "p" silent when you pronounce it that way? I want to do this correctly when I try it, you know .

Same!

I like hella-chopper myself

I'll go with helio-copter like an old timey radio show.

I like hellacopohh. Renamed by my 3 year old.

Like when you say a word to identify a letter you're saying, like p for pterodactyl or j for jalapeno

"spiral wing finger"

It's from the greek word "dactylo" which means "finger".

So it's a "Winged Claw"?

If you ask them, they're all named Derek.

It's a good thing we know how to pronounce 'cat', because they're around now, but if you asked them, they wouldn't tell you.

The hemispheres are split by the Prime Meridian and International Date Line. The UK and Americas are to the West, and a large part of Africa, as well as Europe to the east of about France, Asia, and Australia is in the Eastern Hemispheres. Hope this helps
