Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y’all?

    “Have your cake and eat it too”

    Motherfucker, you have it backwards because you’re too smoothbrained to understand what a fucking paradox is.

    The original, correct version is “to eat your cake and have too”.

    The idea is that you want to eat a cake, but still have the cake afterwards. This is a paradox because you can’t be in posession of a particular cake after you already ate the damn thing.

      The original is just fine. If you eat your cake you won’t have it anymore. You can’t have both be true at the same time. Switching them over would be clearer but it doesn’t mean the first one is wrong.

      Booleans work in any order. A and B is the same value as B and A

      Unless you’re interpreting the phrase as “have your cake and then eat it too”? Which I never did before, but that would make your objections make more sense to me.
