These are called fictitious entries. Dictionaries and encyclopedias do this too.

I’m on iOS, when I open the app I just get a black screen and nothing happens. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

For Canadian French content check out Mauril, it’s a platform by Radio-Canada that has compiled clips of their own content suitable for whatever level you’re at, and asks questions to gauge your comprehension.

Speaking of Radio-Canada you could tune into their radio channel ICI Première, which is available in all areas in Canada. In Toronto it’s 860 AM/90.3 FM.

Another resource I like to recommend for language learning in general is Mango Languages, it’s leagues ahead of Duolingo and has a Canadian French course, though it’s not as extensive as the Metropolitan French one. Plus they are partnered with most (at least North American) public libraries so if you have a library card you can register with that for free forever, normally it’s like $20/month or something.

With the exception of orange juice, any food I eat replaces the minty flavour with its own. I guess I just need that reset to “minty fresh” before eating (I’ve been conditioned by Big Toothpaste to associate minty with clean)

I actually find it more enjoyable to have breakfast after my mouth is refreshed. I wouldn’t enjoy eating with the taste of old mouth juice all over my tongue

What’s the significance/importance of seasoning? I have a friend who does that to her cast-iron pan.

Here is a PhET simulation by the University of Colorado Boulder. I remember playing with this one as a kid!

Is your name Matt? My friend in uni whipped out a pepper one day and bit into it like an apple, and just as the OP title describes I was like wtf

But then I thought about it and I was like why should that be so weird?

Adam Something uploaded a video starting with the definition of intelligence itself, and then explains how something that “acts” intelligent doesn’t mean it “is” intelligent.
