In theory, all linguistics are descriptive, no gods, no masters, but in reality rules exist to avoid confusion and by disrespecting the order you risk confusing the listener by implying that some combo of adj + noun exists as a seprate term when it doesn't

Oh, no, it's wrong grammatically too, they just don't teach this unless you study linguistics. Most of all languages with fixed word order and some others have a natural order of adjectives. Tom Scott has a great vid about it.

Yes, Russian has an adjective order too. “A big old blue car” would be «большая старая синяя машина», saying «синяя большая старая машина» implies that “big old car” is a specific term.

What's specifically asinine about it? Are you implying that bringing it up could've been better if it'd happened more often?

I have just made you aware that this is, however sad, a thing that happens and people can talk about it. While I too disagree with the opinion in the OP post, you're very much advised to not try and moral police this sub, because cringe and weird takes would appear here on a regular basis and you'll be quite frequently offended to the core if you take it all close to the heart.

Please don't take it out on the strangers on the Internet.

Just FYI, neonaticide is a thing. Childbirth is hard and traumatizing and sometimes it leads to mother not being able to take it anymore.

But, as another fellow lemmitor pointed out below, it indeed accounts for a small percentage of SIDS

Soggy is half the problem. Paper is naturally porous, so if you put a porous thing into a fizzy drink, it'll burst on the table or worse. Mentos + Cola thing works much the same way, Mentos is just very porous indeed.

Heard it in Russian a while ago, it's one of the classics. Here's another one:

A guy walks in a pub, sits at the table and orders a pint and a thimble of beer. Bartender gets him a pint and asks why he needs a thimble of beer. “Hold on a sec”, — replies the guy, putting an inch long little man onto the table from his pocket: “Jack, tell him about the time you told the wizard to go fuck himself”

You either budget your time reasonably, or let the exhaustion do it for you.

It sometimes feels like you can do 200% of what you can normally on your “prime”, but the reality is closer to 120% + exhausted enough to make the original task smaller. And often the way you shrink/drop original tasks isn't as good as if you do it beforehand.

Did my fair share of networking back in the day, but never heard of IP unnumbered. I was curious about the same idea back in the day and it is possible, but I haven't much seen anyone doing it for realsies. If you have any good longreads/vids on the topic, it'd be much appreciated.
