I Can Eat Glass

I Can Eat Glass was a linguistic project documented on the early Web by then-Harvard student Ethan Mollick. The objective was to provide speakers with translations of the phrase “I can eat glass, it does not hurt me” from a wide variety of languages; the phrase was chosen because of its unorthodox nature. Mollick’s original page disappeared in or about June 2004.

As Mollick explained, visitors to a foreign country have “an irresistible urge” to say something in that language, and whatever they say (a cited example being along the lines of “Where is the bathroom?”) usually marks them as tourists immediately. Saying “I can eat glass, it does not hurt me”, however, ensures that the speaker “will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect”.

Genuinely assumed this was unreality but nope

thinking about how old umbrellas are

sometimes a design is so suited to purpose that it lasts for thousands of years

could travel back in time and buy a perfectly good umbrella. could show them my umbrella and they’d recognize what it was.

no matter when we lived we’ve all been subject to the sky

my tumblr dashboard hasn’t gotten the updated UI yet so hearing more and more people I follow gradually post about the nightmare they’re currently living just feels like I’m in the first fifteen minutes of a horror series where Troubling News Stories are starting to crop up on the radio and on blurry background TV sets

holy shit this kid who took down the PRESIDENT OF STANFORD is an EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD FRESHMAN????? imagine being the president of an elite university with a celebrated scientific career and you get taken down by a TEENAGER writing for the student paper of your own university who broke a story about decades of data manipulation and scientific misconduct that led to an eight-month investigation (which itself was riddled with issues that the same student reporter also continued to expose). imagine being on the board of trustees or in any other position of leadership at this institution and watching this teenager clown on you for not being able to do your fucking jobs. he had to lay it all out on a fucking platter for you to bring it home. insane.
