Pleasant-sounding words are easier to remember, pseudoword experiment shows
Which words do we find beautiful? And do beautifully sounding words stick better in memory? A new study led by linguist Theresa Matzinger from the University of Vienna suggests that the phonemic composition of words influences how beautiful we perceive them to be, and how well we remember them. The findings are published in the journal PLOS One.

Remember folks, no matter what they do – be it committing genocide or raping Palestinian prisoners – Israel are our allies. The US loves Israel no matter what. The UK loves Israel no matter what. Germany loves Israel no matter what. And if you have a problem with any of this, you’re a fucking antisemite and probably Hamas. https://

Do you remember the "Download Managers" that people used back in the days?
Does thoose still exist?

Remember to use C attributes in your conversations. People always appreciate some qualifiers like [[likely]] or [[unlikely]]. If you talk to older people, you may prefer __builtin_expect instead.

Remember folks, Israel and the US can do whatever the fuck they want to anyone for any reason and there is fuck all you can do about it. If you oppose Israel, you’re Hamas and if you oppose the US you’re a commie. These aren’t good people we’re talking about, they’re fucking monsters – the dregs of humanity – and guess what, they don’t give a shit; they’re proud of it… they’re belly-laughing in your face after ripping it off with their teeth. They’re stronger than you and that’s all that mat…

I’m old enough to remember when antisemite meant someone who is bigoted against Jewish people, not a person of good moral character who opposes genocide regardless of who is committing it.
