Lately i've been watching a few american influencers, listening to a lot of country music (blame ella langley) and some western films, so no surprise i started picking up a southern US accent, and i decided to just let it flow and watch a few training videos.

A few days ago i got absolutely chewed out by my parents for saying 'ain't' this was a few days after my mum told me i do occasionally speak like an american and she has picked up on it.

It got me wondering, what's the point of learning a new accent? especially one with such cruel stereotypes associated with it and in a foreign country to boot, this is someone who can speak RP, some irish, and my regular accent, and i don't really use any of the others anymore.

I just like learning stuff, it's fun, but it's also very stressful to have it pointed out, to have to explain it, to be chewed out, for something that isn't really productive anyway.

It’s such a powerful combination and it feels like it’s how some of the music was meant to be enjoyed, I’ve nearly fallen asleep a couple of times, on the other hand I’ve conditioned myself so that I can only enjoy country music while in a rocking chair, whoops.

Sort of adjacent, a news outlet in my country recently published an article saying that people who live near the sea are more likely to die of various nasty diseases and are more depressed in general.

Of course I know a lot sailors including y’all and many shanty bands and all are happy cheery people who would look out of place in land, would love your opinion before i completely loose trust in mainstream media, they’ve also already tried to claim that all the major seaside towns in my country are rundown and full of crime, which just isn’t true.

I've always been told that deserts rapidly lose heat and can even go below zero at night because there's no humidity to hold heat, however i've just looked at a load of deserts on my apple weather app and most are lows of 30 or 20, no where near freezing, does it only happen in the winter or is my weather app bunk? or is this whole thing misinfo or myth?

Sometimes when i wear a sleeveless shirt to bed i have near constant dreams about sleeveless shirts, or wearing waistcoats without the shirt, is there a way i can stop this? is it because i don't wear the shirt enough? it's my first sleeveless i made it myself from a t-shirt back in march

Posting this because a while back i found out it's very common across the pond for people not only for people to have covered verandahs and porches but sit on them for hours in rocking chairs and such.

Over here most people have a camping chair they put on the patio when the weather is nice enough but the full covered verandah and rocking chair setup is very rare and i've only seen it once at a posh house out in the countryside.

I know people don't tend to sit outdoors in many countries now because of air conditioning, TV and video games but i'd be interested to hear if there's anything else like this.

This one wasn’t as vivid as my last one, but I remember becoming lucid from a reality check, I told myself that the world outside was a western and i tried to figure out the portal, I decided to run against a window but I would just bounce off, so I opened the door and walked outside, outside it was all fields with no sign of electricity but it still felt English and not American, I could also feel it getting cold as the sun set, it was dark now.

I looked back at the house and was surprised, it was completely different, it looked like the Walton’s house now and had a big porch.

I then gree up not ‘giddy up’? Walked towards a horse (again a pony not a big riding horse) I can’t remember if I was riding or walking alongside but it was exhausting, It felt like jumping but was taking me less distance then walking. And then I just woke up, I didn’t even get to chew straw.

Of course I went to a werid world mixed between England and America, I’ve watched a lot of westerns so I don’t know why my mind didn’t pick up on that.

Why do I keep getting this lately? It looks like the mods allow it through, but what reason is my 8 year old account getting filtered? And how can I avoid it? I’ve had four posts get filtered by this, I can’t even post pictures of my overalls and heritage wear collection now

There's been a temporary diesel generator on our property for a while now and what i've noticed pretty much, is while it hums, it's not the same hum i occasionally hear, according to google AI it's got 6 cylinders and runs at 1500 RPM, has a noise output of around 75dba at 1 metre and is the size of a small car, sounds more like a big fan up close but further away you can hear the rumble of the engine, especially in the house, but it's quiet, so quiet you don't hear it in most of the house and it's not something you feel, you can also pin point it easily, unlike the hum.

The hum i heard is more like an air turbulence noise of an air plane from the sky, it's a similar sound but not the same as the oft quoted diesel generator noise, i looked on youtube for videos of even bigger sets and those don't sound anything like the hum either, the big marine ones turn too slowly to hum, if the hum was one of those smaller generators the source would be closer than most people think too
