  • Idk exactly how the wpm calculation worked or if/how it accounted for errors. I just used those typing speed test websites, but I don’t remember which. I know it would’ve been all lowercase, no numbers, and no punctuation, in a short, 30-60s burst. So I’m sure if you tested me under stricter conditions, my real speed would’ve been much lower.

    And I used both my hands, so 4 fingers, making it less than 2 presses per finger per second which seems reasonable.

    For my 95wpm, I tested my speed using the same conditions on monkeytype. But I did it again just now (30s, capitalization, punctuation, numbers) and got 73. I never bothered to learning numbers or symbols. Sorry, didn’t mean to mislead lol.

    I’m in my mid-20s, and I taught myself to type using only my index and middle fingers (plus thumb for space bar). Had about 80 wpm, but made quite a few errors.

    A few years ago, I swapped to Colemak and took that opportunity to finally learn to touch-type. Now I’m at 95 wpm with much better accuracy, and I don’t need to look anymore. Feels way more comfortable to type too.

    On mobile, I still use QWERTY and type with my thumbs. I can do that reasonably well with my eyes closed, considering the complete lack of tactile feedback.

    Turner orr ep3ll chk3cker and typed this sentence with my eyrs floser. (“Turned off spell checker and typed this sentence with my eyes closed.”)



  • I’ve heard nonbinary voices that are feminine as well as nonbinary voices that are masculine, but the voices of the standard stick figures in C&H are exclusively masc. And tbh, the type of humor present in C&H really makes me feel like the authors tend to go along with traditional gender norms and the longstanding trope being a man is the norm while being a woman is a special trait.

    For the record, I personally hate maleness being the cultural default, but I think its good to recognize the trope when it occurs.


  • I think its the writers’ interpretations too. They really only put dicks on them when the joke is specifically about the dick. There are plenty of times when the character is the normal stick figure with no dick, but explicitly gendered male. But when the character is explicitly gendered female, they always have boobs or a feminine haircut. Also in the animations the standard stick figures are always given masculine voices.
