[puppies learn about blue for the first time]

bruno always knows so much ....
thank you !
i will take a picture of this text so i can remember it later

what kind of blue is your favorite ?

[unenvied]

If you're interested in this sort of thing, studies suggest that this particular trait of the Russian language affects Russian speakers' colour discrimination capabilities.

I haven't thought about it much, but if I had to pick, perhaps turquoise? And yours?

[constellates]

!! studies do ?
language can really change the way that people see the world ?
i thought so but it is funny to think that science says so too
i will have to study hard so i can read it

i think the blue that is in the galaxy is very pretty
i do not know if there is a special name for it though

[unenvied]

The research is still somewhat controversial, but it does seem to be headed down that direction.

That's right — you like astronomy, correct? I don't think there's a name for that particular shade, though I confess this area isn't my strong point.

I THOUGHT I HIT THIS, JAN I'M THE WORST

[constellates]

that is okay
maybe we should make up a new shade

[that's not how that works]

DANA DOESN'T LOVE ME

[unenvied]

[Uh.]

And how would we go about doing that?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[constellates]

i do not know if i will explain it right
but parts of words are
not stems ....
roots ! [she had to google it]

so could we take roots from other words
and put them together
to make a new name for starry shades of blue ?

[teach this shit to your students, bruno]

.......... I LOVE YOU TOO

[unenvied]

So form a word such as "sociopath" or "television", which combine multiple roots?

that's all i need in life

[constellates]

yes !!
a very strong combo word
maybe combine roots for star and blue ?

[unenvied]

"Stell" and "astr" are two common root words associated with stars. The etymology behind blue is more complicated, but I believe "bhel" is considered its root, meaning "to shine, flash, burn".

[constellates]

pretty !!
what is a good word to make
bhelastr
it sounds like blaster !
stellbhel
stbhell ?
can we mix ?

[you are making your own word, nerds]

[unenvied]

I'm not a linguist, but I don't imagine that anyone will complain if you do. Language is something that evolves, in any case.

[constellates]

do you think we could make it catch on
that would be funny

[unenvied]

I'm not quite sure how to make a word catch on.

[constellates]

davenka used to say
hallucinomemories !
about the things that people see once they have the app
and then everyone would say
hallucinomemories !
it was very neat

[unenvied]

I can see how it spread. It was a word that fulfilled a common need in terms of usage.

[constellates]

yes !
it was amazing
i do not know if hallucinomemories is right anymore
i think people are starting to call them memories
does bruno know what i am saying ?

[unenvied]

Yes. Well, that's how language changes over time, I imagine. Words come into and fall out of usage, or their meanings change.

[constellates]

i think so too
since bruno is on the app
are you seeing things too ?

[unenvied]

Ah. Yes, I've recently ended up in the same situation as the rest of you, it seems.

[constellates]

oh
i hope you are seeing good things !

[unenvied]

It's been interesting. I haven't received any memories, at the very least.

[constellates]

i hope those are good too

[and not like

not being able to be seen by normal people or just dying]

[unenvied]

[THANKFULLY bruno has mostly happy memories??]

Thank you. I hope for the same for you as well.
