Facebook with pirate flair


Do you have a Facebook profile? Of course you do. It seems like nearly everyone you meet these days has a digital persona to compliment the real-life counterpart, but after spending countless hours curating your virtual life online, the site can seem a little bland. Thankfully, the world's most popular social network has a hidden treat to make your browsing experience unique: ridiculous language settings.
From your main Facebook account page, click on the small, downward-pointing arrow on the blue bar on the top of the window. A small menu should pop up. From there, click "Account Settings" and then the "Language" tab at the very bottom. Here you'll find pretty much every language under the sun, as well as two bonus English settings named "Upside Down" and "Pirate."
The upside down setting does exactly what you would expect: it flips all the text on your screen, making it somewhat difficult to decipher but still readable. The pirate setting is most definitely the coolest of the pair, as it switches all your Facebook menu and notification prompts to pirate speak! "In a relationship" becomes "Spoken for," "Add a Photo" becomes "Hoist a portrait," and even your timeline will be measured not in days or weeks but in "Shots 'o rum" and "turns o' yer hourglass
