There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

we have bi like in binary(yes, no/ one week yes other no) and bi in like bisexual(atraction to 2 genders/ twice a week) i think the problem is more deep than the week
I'm bisexual, I've had sex twice.
And will never again
yeah, i think we have generally developed to distinct uses for the root word "bi" like, bisect means to cut in two. that's where my head goes when i hear bi-weekly. a bisected week. to be honest, outside of describing periods of time and bi sexuals i can't think of other times that "bi" means double an amount and not a split amount.
You mean like bicycle? where they cut bikes in half
i didn't say there weren't any or that I'm very smart ๐ I've thought of a few others since then too.
