I tried with month names and it doesn't work, it only show the English word. Too bad because month names in other languages are sometimes interesting.

It grows inside a starfish's body cavity until filling it completely, which explains the strange shape of the parasite.

I know nothing about carding, but how does it actually work? How is that website able to verify a card's validity, and why can't competitors easily build a similar service?
In many (most?) European countries, debit cards and cash transfering apps are more common than credit-based payments. I have a credit card but I don't use it often (mostly for some online transactions, such as buying plane tickets), and many people only have a debit card.
That one in particular, I was almost offended when I learnt during a DEI training that it could be construed as insensitive/racist of me to use that idiom.
English is not my native language, and is not an official language of my country. I work for a local branch of a large US tech company, and the working language is English, which I'm perfectly fine with. But when we get subjected to DEI training material which was very obviously made for an American audience, even though nobody in this office is a native English speaker, I think it goes too far and ironically becomes slightly insensitive in its own way.
Chikwanga is #44 on the list. This is just a cassava flour cake, it's a staple food meant to be eaten along with something else, it being bland is kind of the point. Of course if you go to some Congolese restaurant and only order chikwanga you're going to be disappointed, but it's the same as going to a Chinese restaurant and only ordering white rice.

I would actually consider it to be a free adaption of Orwell's 1984.

The diminutive form of the Russian name "Vladimir" is actually "Volodya".
While "Vlad" is the diminutive form of "Vladislav".
The museum was aimed at children and the exhibit consisted of many practical "magic tricks" illustrating some piece of science or technology. Things such as electromagnets, refraction effects, color theory, optical illusions, simple mechanical devices, simple chemistry experiments, etc. For example I remember first learning about the brachistochrone curve at this museum, even though I was too young at the time to know or care about its name. Or that you could use red cabbage juice as a natural pH indicator.
Unfortunately the museum never got much funding or interest from the government, and at some point the museum was destroyed (possibly illegally) to make room for a shopping mall.
It also means "doing things against your will", although it has the additional sense of doing them because you're gullible (not sure if this sense is also present in the English expression).
