My friend the gourmet cook gets a thousand-yard stare when they see me chopping certain ingredients with a scissors instead of a knife.

It’s the same kind of stare my friend the librarian gets when she’s reminded that I alphabetise my books by first name.
Now I’m reminded by association of the trauma I cause some of my nice neighbours in the Fediverse when I refer to LLMs as Language Learning Machines. But you know what I mean, ah you do. If I’d been cool enough to have one, I’d definitely have called my Blackberry a Blueberry.

Jeg sorterer bøger i farver for tiden - på trods af at have arbejdet 4 år på Odense Centralbibliotek og udmærket sågar ville kunne sortere dem korrekt. Men det er jo ikke sjovt

'"Ja ok, jeg sorterer mine bøger efter fornavn, men Biblioteks-Mette sorterer dem *i farver*."

@CiaraNi@mastodon.greeni like it! Brilliant

@CiaraNi Ja ja
. Hvis man ikke kan finde ud af en bog-skattejagt, hvor man skal kunne huske hvordan bogen SER UD for at finde den - elsker man så faktisk rigtigt sine bøger

@CiaraNi Uuuuum… Say, what, now?

@CiaraNi Ja ja

Kun den mest seriøse læser kan straks finde en bog i farvemængden på denne måde, alene fra hukommelsen.

@CiaraNi Jeg har det sjovt med det i hvert fald

@CiaraNi @MThaastrup Min 4k-Blu-ray samling står ikke i nogen som helst form for orden. Nogle af dem står sammen med dem de lidt hører sammen med. nogle af dem står i den rækkefølge de er købt, men jeg startede ikke fra toppen af reolen. Almindelige blu.rays er bare losset hulter til bulter ind i et skab.

@CiaraNi min svigermor skærer kylling ud med en sløv brødkniv og jeg lige ved at besvime hver gang.

@CiaraNi As long as it's not color. I used to do mine by height, just for a nice look on my shelves.

@CiaraNi But do you file authors named Bill under B for Bill (next to B for Bob) or W for William (or R for Robert)? 🤨🤪

@CiaraNi Uuuuum… Say, what, now?
@fgraver You know it's right. So does the librarian, secretly. No more working out where to look for the Icelandic authors and hyphenated authors and authors with multiple names so you're not sure which one is the actual last one, especially if they're from a different linguistic culture. Every book filed by the first letter of the first name in the author credit. I switched to this system years ago and I can't believe they still haven't awarded me The Nobel Prize in Shelving Literature.

@tantramar @MThaastrup "by colour AND by function" - ooh, fancy filing!

@tantramar Not even remotely a challenge. Bob, Robert, Margaret, Peggy, Ned, Edward - first letter of whichever name they've used on the cover.
