What’s a Pirates favourite letter of the alphabet?

The yanks insist it is short for gasolene, but it is actually short for the name of the guy who marketed it in their country. Like saying “hoover” for vacuum cleaner or “wettex” for sponge.

It always sounds wrong to me as we have both gas (natural gas) and liquid petrol (refined oil) powered cars, as well as deisel cars. What they call gas is a liquid. But no one said language has to make sense I guess. Diesel, btw, is also a name based on a persons name…

I love that no one has a clue if there is in fact anything for sale, or what it might be.

I am not sure about this entire sequence.

But never been in a gym. I am guessing asking about the seats is likely some sort of gym joke or something. I really don’t know why he asked such an odd question.

(I live rural, we get our exercise out of doors here)

Often it is not socketed to be able to do that (hardware is also an issue).

Sadly the other commenters are more interested in spreading depressing facts. Sometimes it is pleasant to read something uplifting.

Reddit was at the extreme end of emoji rejection as far as I ever saw. Odd that you experienced differently. I often saw well-upvoted comments such as “downvote due to emoji use” next to heavily downvoted emojis on Reddit.

Not an emoji fan myself, but each to their own.
