Soup: After Dark

- That's the kind of humor I use; sopping wet comedy. No subtlety; it hits you in the face like a wet fish.
  
  I call shenanigans. This comment was a damp fish at best. It felt like haddock.
  
  Especially when it is in fact a wet fish.
- The existence of Dad Humor implies the existence of Mom Humor.
  
  Mom humor is Facebook Minion memes
Fun fact: same languages (including swedish) have different words for day as in 24h and day as in not night
- That makes sense to have. Little things like that are the coolest part about learning a new language.
  
  I wish we could just make a language that combines all the best bits of different languages. Like a modded Esperanto or something
  
  In Spanish "morning" and "tomorrow" are the same word "mañana"... It can be confusing.
- Maybe daytime would be similar. Daytime, nighttime
- Korean has like four! 날 / 낮 / 하루 / 일
  
  Wow! What do they mean?
- So which one is used for soup du jour
  
  Asking the real questions
  
  Both google translate and deepl.com translate both the English "soup of the day", the French "soup du jour" and German "Tagessuppe" as "dagens soppa" which is the "not night" day. So it still implies a nattens soppa.
- Spanish has two: de día roughly "by daytime" and un dia exactly "a day".
- Permanently Deleted
  
  I think they meant in ordinary use
  
  After my first comment was a joke, let me give you a serious answer: twilight is not the time from sunrise to sunset but the time around sunrise and around sunset. When the sun rises at 6am and sets at 6pm, twilight doesn't last 12h. Noon is never twilight. Twilight is the time between day and night, not the daytime.
  
  I might be wrong though since the only true thing about my last comment was that I'm not a native speaker, we have a cognate that means what I've described and I'm pretty sure, the English word means the same.
  
  Not a native speaker but isn't twilight a movie and crepuscular sounds Fr*nch ngl lmao
Day soup

Fighter of the night soup

Champion of the Sun!

I like my night soup T H I C K
Chili is the night soup.
- working on the night soup
Yeah obviously, don't you guys have Mitternachtssuppe?
- Mitternachtssuppe
  
  Does that mean midnight soup? I feel like I might be able to guess may way into some German discussions.
  
  Yes exactly that! Our languages belong in the same category, west-germanic, so your feeling is justified.
Soup After Dark

I see now that I've just reposted the title of the post, stay in school kids so you don't embarass yourself like this
- sooo meaaty
Well. There is, of course, the Soup of the Evening.
Cereal is the lazier soup of the morning.
No, soup of the night is a dark, demented and hideous creation from the bowels of a Michelin Star kitchen.
- Soup foam.
Would Monsieur like un peu de... potage de la nuit? It is very... how you say... risqué ?
Feeda feeda feeda feed me. I don't wanna be hungry! Oh soup of the night!
I want that inside me
Soup of the day after is superior to soup of the day in every way possible.
"Whores Soup."

"Ew, horse soup? I'm not eating horse!"
- Puttanesca
Soups of the night, what flavors they make!
THIS IS THE HOT SOUP OF THE NIGHT 🎶
