The internet is a series of screenshots.
I thought it was pipes
What if our universe is just a series of screenshots, a GIF.
Very cool approach, they systematically tested old folk recopies it sounds like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_Youyou#Malaria
How is her name hard to sing Happy Birthday to? You only have to say her name once in the song.
It's quite funny if you don't think too much about it.
"Happy birthday to Tu Youyou, happy birthday to you"
But that isn't how the song is sung.
Sorry, it's "Happy birthday dear Tu Youyou". And you generally use their first name only, but there's no reason you can't use their full name.
Exactly, you just say it once.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear [insert name].
Happy birthday to you.
High levels of Lemmy here.
Agreed. I almost would have been upset if someone didnt explain this joke all the way to its death. Not to fear.
The autism is off the charts
wait this doesn’t make sense
it does if you just laugh bro
but xyz doesn’t mean what is implied in the joke though
congrats on being on the web spectrum why don’t u GraphQL about it
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Youyou.
Happy birthday to you.
"It would be hard to sing Happy Birthday to her if you purposely sang the song incorrectly!"
Depending on whether Tu or Youyou is her "first" name for the song it will be:
"Happy birthday to Tu"
Or
"Happy birthday to Youyou"
Both have repetition that is likely to trip up a lot of people.
Tu is her first name, and it's "dear", not "to". So it would be "Happy birthday, dear Tu".
People always get mixed up regardless, people refer to people by different names like nicknames or relationship like 'mom' so when you get to the name part its always some funny mix
"Happy birthday to Carol/Caroline/Slut/Mom!"
Yeah, that checks out.
Good ol' brigadier general Caroline Slutmom 😁🫡
Yep, either way if you are singing Happy Birthday to her, you likely know her well enough to know her name well and sing it with no problem.
The singers could be staff at a restaurant who are not familiar with her...
I think you might end up saying it about 4 times on accident.
We can't acknowledge that, then we wouldn't be able to ignore her amazing discovery and make fun of her name instead!
