It means they have the same number of syllables and rhythm, so you can substitute them in a lyric without changing the cadence of the song. Note how "America", "Andromeda" and "Antarctica" all sound the same, but also "Morovia" and "the metaverse" have the same cadence.
Hope shines brightest in the darkest timesO beautiful, for spacious seas,
For azure waves of bliss
For turquoise kelp and violet reefs
Above the black abyss!
Subnautica! Subnautica! I sing your wild praise,
And yet I'd rather look at you from safely out in space.
Scan in this case is short/derives from Scansion

Aw, come on, how dangerous can the ocean be when it gave us this
? ;P
Why's our diety gotta be a cheapskate?

My musician pageIn Universe Lite, bad things only happen to good people. That is a mood.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Most of these seem to indicate that we are in a standard edition universe, though that does imply that if a tree falls in the forest and no one around to hear it, it makes a simple beep noise.
We already know the meaning of life.
It’s 42. ;P
That's the answer to the question of life the universe and everything. What the question of life the universe and everything actually IS remains unknown, so it's not the meaning of life.
I think it was established in the books that no one can know both the question and that the answer to it is 42 at the same time.
I mean assuming I remember correctly, it has been years since I've read the books.
Yup, both the question and the answer cannot be simultaneously known in the same iteration of the universe. One character theorized that it would cause the universe to reset. Arthur at one point was almost able to figure out what it was via subconscious Scrabble tile throwing, but it came out to "what is the product of six and nine", which is not quite right.
I feel like when we consider the historicity of atmospheric motion, if trees didn't make the expected sound when they fell without an audience, we'd know it, or at least know something was wrong, and more wrong the more heavily forested and sparsely populated an area were.
My posts make considerably more sense read in the voice of John Ratzenberger.The original question "when a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound" is about the difference between phenomena and qualia. Is "a sound" the vibration in the air (and ground) caused by the tree falling? Or is it the resonance in your eardrums (or a microphone) which becomes an electrical signal sent to your brain (or a recording device)? Both, because language is contextual.
The idea that it just goes "beep" instead is a joke.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOYeah, I've had a few "how could you not have seen/heard/read X?" moments directed at me too, though not on the internet. Fan Myopia is a real thing.
Also, I always have had trouble recognizing artists by voice, or connecting names to numbers, so all too often I would know the songs but not the bands.
Hope shines brightest in the darkest times(I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street, on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps, and I'm the only one and I walk alone)

ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOI've pretty much stopped chatting to strangers online (I think this and The Daily WTF are the only places that I still leave comments). I'm almost exclusively a lurker. Not sure when it stopped (I used to do nothing *but* talking to strangers online) but my colleagues and family are enough connection for me.
