Nemo , in Does anyone else think of a giant bee with a cowboy hat when they hear the name Beehaw?

I mean, it is the logo

Gamers_mate OP ,

To be honest seeing the logo where it appears small on the desktop site, I thought it was a top down view of a Bee with the hat being the head colour and the two eyes just being spots.

Wow, I feel dumb. I've been here for a year and never looked closely at the bee (old or new). Never noticed the cowboy hat!

Gamers_mate OP ,

omg I only saw the bee in the logo due to it being smaller on a pc screen and thought the hat was just part of the Bee.

Gamers_mate OP ,

That logo looks cool like the little CowBee is saying this hive ain't big enough for the both of us. Though they would communicate it through dancing with that as the subtitles.

Gamers_mate OP ,

It has confused me, as I (And friends) pronounce it Bee Whore. It has made me look at bees in a new way. No shaming of bees, please.

Edit: Maybe this is to do with my British accent?

I mean, there's emojis like bee snuggle fox available bee snuggle fox emoji

Gamers_mate OP ,

Cute emoji though I am not sure if that is a Bee sized Fox or a Fox sized Bee.

Lionir ,
@Lionir@beehaw.org avatar

The answer is yes.

Gamers_mate OP ,

I think that is how most people pronounce it because Yee haw kind of sounds like yee whore. though it has a very different meaning.

Nemo ,

What? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where "claws" and "doors" rhyme?

Gamers_mate OP ,

Yes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

How else would you pronounce them?

Nemo ,

different vowel sounds (short A like "father" versus long O like "oat")

different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Klaas and doh-errs.

Nemo ,

Close enough, though "doors" is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.

rand_alpha19 ,

In what accent does a W have an R sound? Australian?

t3rmit3 ,

Certain British accents (like a London accent) have an 'aw' in particular sound like 'or'. Not sure about Australian.

Kamirose ,
@Kamirose@beehaw.org avatar

Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.

rand_alpha19 ,

Ah, I thought that was largely an Appalachian thing. But I guess that isn't quite the same since I don't think "haw" sounds like "whore" down there.

Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a 'First with honours' in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it's an excellent result.

*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here

apis ,

Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here...

She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.

Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.

baggins ,
@baggins@beehaw.org avatar

Holy cow!

That's even better than I thought. Even prouder of her now.

Thank you

Beeple works well for me!

Running from ac to AC like its cover in a warzone.

boogetyboo , in what’s your favorite way to beat the heat?

Honestly one of the quickest ways I've found to cool down is to run my wrists under cold water.

And for my dog, wet t-shirts and wet towels tucked under his groin and armpits. I wish he was a water dog (we've tried wading pools, sprinklers etc) but he's not so other than forcing him to drink enough water, I've found he'll tolerate the wet items on him.

SamVimes ,

I have a pair of cheap UV protection sunsleeves that I've cut to just cover my wrists-forearms that I wet with a spray bottle when it's crazy hot. Works incredibly well.

Godort , (edited ) in what’s your favorite way to beat the heat?

It's AC now, but in the desperate beforetimes it was getting into a shower at the temperature of my skin, then getting out and not drying off to allow for further evaporative cooling(Thank god its not humid where I live)

LallyLuckFarm , in what’s your favorite way to beat the heat?

Lots of water breaks (not cold, but below ambient temps), cold compresses, sheltering under trees, cool showers, avoiding physical contact from the dog and cat

Idk. I was feeling very bad recently but some great people helped me a lot so now I feel better but idk if this improvement will last for more than a few days (usually it doesn't). I'm really depressed because of the state of the society

rozwud ,

Keep spending time with these people! In some ways the state of society certainly does suck, but finding our people who go against that grain has the potential to make things better. At the very least, we can make some things better in the small ways we can, and that's still something important.

GolfNovemberUniform ,
@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

I agree but seeing 2/3 or even more people act not good and everything getting worse every year has a stronger impact on me than seeing and interacting with great people. I guess it's a pretty uncommon thing. I also have personal issues that are really serious and I can't even talk about it because it's very intimate. And smh every time I say I feel better, I feel worse again in a few hours. Very supernatural looking this one.

picks up the AC remote what did you say again?

GolfNovemberUniform , in what kind of discussion do you like to see?
@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

In-game photography. It's something that doesn't seem covered on Lemmy yet. But Linux works too. Hope to see you posting that fastfetch with an Arch logo soon

abbadon420 , in what’s your favorite way to beat the heat?

Once heat is in your house, it's hard to get out. So, prevent it from coming in by keeping you doors, windows, curtains, and best of all shutters closed

cassiacow , in how's your week going, Beehaw

I finished my honours thesis and I've honestly been feeling kind of... bad about it? Bit weird. Work's been super hectic too!

BUT I also booked flights to Canada to see my sister, which is really exciting so things are looking good.

I'm a fan of my fan

Taking a shower, not too cold

kessleragain , in what’s your favorite way to beat the heat?

I switch my schedule so that all chores are done in the morning or night. If it’s really bad, I rinse off in the shower lowering the temp slowly until it feels too cold. Lots of water and crystal light. And I snack on cucumbers.
