I’ve been studying Swedish for unrelated reasons (they write the best crime novels okay, the Swedes do not respect the police) and came across this video. I figured oh, a fun way to practice listening! I am STRUGGLING with comprehension because his accent is so wildly different from the Swedish rock station I’ve been listening to, but it has English subs and has some fun Ghost lore I hadn’t known before (and I’ve been a fan for close to 10 years!).

I Can Eat Glass

I Can Eat Glass was a linguistic project documented on the early Web by then-Harvard student Ethan Mollick. The objective was to provide speakers with translations of the phrase "I can eat glass, it does not hurt me" from a wide variety of languages; the phrase was chosen because of its unorthodox nature. Mollick's original page disappeared in or about June 2004.

As Mollick explained, visitors to a foreign country have "an irresistible urge" to say something in that language, and whatever they say (a cited example being along the lines of "Where is the bathroom?") usually marks them as tourists immediately. Saying "I can eat glass, it does not hurt me", however, ensures that the speaker "will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect".

i love ‘jefferies tubes’ as a piece of star trek canon… like i just think the most satisfying trek honor would be to have a commonly used piece of starship design named after you and for it to sound like a real thing
