So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.

I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard

The full context of the first was like "It gives us the same strange out of place feeling as when we see an actor who we can't quite place how we know them."

The second clause describing the actor feels redundant to me, it feels very awkward. Having the pronoun for the same subject in there feels weird. "An actor that ..." Means that ... Is specifically referring to the actor. Then we have "... we don't know where we know them" feels like a whole new sentence with its own subject and object. It feels unrelated to me. The them is redundant, to me.

Yeah I edited it. I messed that up. I changed it to "a type of fruit that we don't know where is from"

Is that any less ungrammatical to your ear?

I think this has existed for a while, at least when I do it it mostly comes from restructuring the sentence halfway through, yknow when you start going without knowing exactly how you're going to finish?

e.g. in your examples, it would be "a type of fruit that [pause] we don't know where it comes from"

naw, i've heard it all my life

I think your second example sounds very wrong to me, I’d have to reword it like “a type of fruit we don’t know the origin of”

no

Can you give an example in a full sentence? (gen)

Drink Sprite. For Your Wounds.

Do you know of such a thing? Asking for a friend....

Depends on the answer to the "potion of healing" question

I think there's an important distinction that needs to be made here based on the other conversation: a potion of healing will prevent scarring for a wound that it heals, but it won't remove an already-existing scar. Otherwise you wouldn't have burly scarred warriors adventuring all over the place.

And if it can't do that, let alone restore lost limbs, I doubt it could undo circumcision. That said, I'm sure a potion that could do so can be researched without too much trouble.

Well like if you get severe burns over a large part of your body, it will "heal" in that it'll scar over, but it won't be normal skin. A potion of healing will make it normal skin.

I'm not sure, to /u/nomorepie's point, if that means say, if you have a scar, if it would cause that to undo. I think that's kind of the whole ballgame here.

sure but your body will heal that normally. it won't heal a lost limb or foreskin. that said a potion won't leave a scar, while normal healing will...

Does it heal only fresh wounds? Like if it closed up and scarred over properly I wouldn't think it would register as a wound tbh. Same thing with piercings, body mods etc

But like if you lose a patch of skin on your arm due to it burning or something, it will grow back. I don't see why growing back skin on your dingus would be different from on your arm.

in my mind a potion of healing doesn't heal missing limbs or body parts. so i wouldn't think so. but if you get a hold of a potion of healing and it magicks a foreskin onto ya i would happily eat my words

Do you have a DnD group that's looking for members?

your profile (name, picture, "about") is visible once you've sent the first message (or reply)

yes, they will.

your name, about text and profile picture are visible to your signal contacts — username and phone number aren't.

No my concern is that if I add a stranger, using an account name rather than my phone number, but I have my real name in my profile (which I set so that people I know will know who's messaging them), will the stranger I add also get my real name?

I think it shows your name and profile picture, but not your phone number.

Correct; it’s actually best to think of the name field as “displayname”. If that’s not what you want you can change it.

Interestingly, it also doesn’t reveal your username, and allows you to change usernames without losing already existing chats. So a trick I’ve used is to change my username to something random, give it to someone in order to establish a conversation then change my username back. Now I have a conversation where neither of us can see the phone # or username of the other.

I think if they have your phone number in their contacts, Signal will add that to the Signal contact, and so someone can find your phone number by adding every phone number to their contacts

Yes, but I handle this by not allowing signal to access my contacts. It’s worth checking out your various ai and assistant settings on your phone as well but that’s a bit of another topic.

Edit: I just realized in the final paragraph the concern was other people finding out you were on signal by them giving signal access to their contact book. As I understand it, if you were trying to hide that you have a signal account from people who would have your phone number this would be genuine concern. Personally I don’t use my primary phone number for signal which makes this a non-issue. If you don’t want your normal contacts knowing you use signal then you should get a second number and register signal to it instead.
