Is urine colourless when it's still inside your bladder?

I started learning the Dvorak keyboard layout in the mid 90s, when IRC was at its peak, and I found IRC indispensable in learning how to type quickly. The big channels moved fast in those days, so if you couldn't get a response typed out in a few seconds, the conversation would have already moved on.
I remember distinctly that 'h' and 'a' were the first 2 letters I learned in Dvorak just because I could get in a 'haha' lightning fast on IRC. (Well 'a' in Dvorak is easy to learn anyway, since it's in the same spot as in QWERTY)

Reply to comment by Luthemplaer in ELI5: In recent years, new formats like webp and jfif have started popping up. However, if I rename them to gif or jpeg, they still work. How can it be that renaming the extension doesn't ruin the image format? Why do they even exist then? by Luthemplaer
Upgrade to Photoshop 2021 (v22) or Photoshop 2022 (v23). What you're describing is a known bug in older versions of Photoshop. Photoshop 2020 and Photoshop 2019 had a bug where they could only open .jfif files if they were incorrectly renamed as .jpg.

I don't understand the connection between this and menstruation. Why does a high rate of chromosomal abnormalities favour menstruation?

Outside of Canada/US/Australia/New Zealand, it's usually maize. It used to be called "Indian corn", but I don't know if that's still used anywhere. If you're American, what you instinctively think of as "corn" is usually sweet corn, and some people will refer to it specifically as sweet corn.
