www.babbel.com Do The Inuit People Really Have 50 Words For Snow?
You've almost certainly heard the claim that the Inuit people have 50 words for snow. The truth behind it is a little complicated, though.

TIL Inuit probably don't have 50 words for "snow"
The idea that "Inuit" have a single language is evidently the first issue, but the idea behind the myth seemingly came from an 1800s anthropological study that mentioned four separate words. Many of the languages apparently have agglutinative qualities (like German, where you can just moosh more things on the end of a word to make a new one) as well as their cultures having a lot to do with snow (and thus likely having more jargon around it) leading to people running with ever-increasing numbers of words for snow that these "rudimentary" people had for "such a simple concept".

TIL You don't lose more heat from your head than anywhere else on your body. The myth came from a 50's army field manual with some suspect experimental procedures.

Despite the myth that people lose up to half their body heat through their heads, we actually lose far less than that.

Exactly, greed is a turnoff and ads are a bigger turnoff. I don't mind ads if they're necessary to keep developers working and prosperous, but serving Steve Huffman's bottom line isn't what I'm looking for. Lenny can have my dozens of clicks each day.
