As a Canadian, I can confirm! But then that means they were still using pennies until I turned 5.

canadian govt: "let's just stop making them!"

americans: "pennies are useless lol--"
american govt: "TOO BAD WE NEED 2022 PENNIES"

I just found out that the Spongebob episode "Mid-Life Crustacean" was actually banned, ig because of the panty raid scene. I realized this when I was trying to find it on Paramount+ and it's nowhere to be found. that sucks bc I watched it all the time as a kid and I thought it was hilarious. now idk where to watch it unless I get the season 3 DVD set.

If there is anything I learned given what happened to me in the last few weeks is to learn from your mistakes and improve on it. Its always best to prevent a bad thing that could happen to your body.

Your Health is very important and if you don't take good care of it bad things will happen and it could really mess you up. Always take good care of your body and beware of your symptoms if something goes wrong.

I learned some new things at work, and I also learned that Tanjiro's earrings from the hit anime Demon Slayer pay homage to Japanese playing cards called "hanafuda," which have multiple uses and have existed for centuries.

Nope, for some reason I didn't! Never bothered to look that up and never heard it from anyone else until now. But now I do know that.

Today I finally figured out the answer to my question about my inquiry about the different pitches of Animalese I hear my villagers speak,
So you all know the different personalities have different pitches of voice, but I've noticed it's more complex then that and I noticed some of my villagers of the same personality still have different pitches, I learned subtypes have different pitches and yes, come to think of that I did notice the villagers of the same personality I heard speaking with different pitches were in different subtypes, but after visiting some people's dream addresses I noticed something about some Lazy elephants like Paolo and Dizzy, I notice they have notably lower pitch voices then other lazy villagers I've heard the lazy elephants voices really sound like they'd come from an elephant because it sounds like it would come from a large animal, I had this with Pinky and Puddles too, I noticed Pinky and Puddles pretty much talk the same but Puddle's voice sounds higher in a way like it would come from a small animal and Pinky's voice sounds lower like it would come from a large animal, today I read the pitch of the villagers voice in New Horizons ALSO depends on body size, this explains why I hear small lazy animals (hamsters, frogs, rabbits etc..) have a higher voice then medium size lazy animals(dogs, goats, cats etc..) and medium size lazy animals still have a higher voice then lazy elephants because elephants are really big and such their voice sounds lower.
TLDR: The body size of a villager AND their personality subtype both ALSO have an effect on their Animalese pitch not just simply their main personality.

yeah when Nintendo started back in the 1880s they mostly made playing cards. I used some Super Mario themed Nintendo hanafuda cards as a springtime signature a few years ago

Today I learned that apparently you used to be charged for inserting images into your post? I didn’t know that was a thing. I’m glad that’s not a thing anymore.

Today I learned that you don’t need to take a physical exam for a drivers license/permit in California?? I’m not sure if this is true, but a coworker who was born there told me. He was surprised he needed to take one here.
