rule of the four-leaved clover
rule of the four-leaved clover
Other example would be "all men have penis". Accusing someone for "faking their identity".
I have no idea what any of this is trying to convey.
I translate:
be a biologist
research clovers
everyone says "clovers have 3 leaves"
its a law of nature
go outside
find 4-leaf clover
i better take it to court for violating laws of natureThis is obviously stupid. Discovering something that violates a descriptive 'law' means the law was wrong. And yet, people do this in conversation all the time.
Sometimes casual conversation begins with a "But". E.g., someone might say "But anyway, have you seen that new movie Oppenheimer?"
Grammar nazis react to this by saying "You can't say 'but' at the start of a sentence if that sentence isn't a rebuttal of the previous sentence! It's a law of english!"
'Laws' of english are meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive. But alas, we live in a society 😔
It's a Zen Koan.
Basically, the meaning of it is "live your life proudly, and don't let other people dictate whether your rules are right or wrong, because your rule just is".
Incomprehensible
May god have mercy on your wretched soul
Note: I had posted this before from another account from another instance (feddit.de), but the federation seemed to be broken and the post didn't show, I think. Sorry if it appears double in your feed.
What does it mean
Why would all men have penis? But there are men who dont?
exactly
but what drugs?
only the finest clover
