Hey dude, I’ve been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son’s bike.
It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who’ll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.
In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.
PS Welcome to Lemmy!
You’re certainly right about observing this incongruity. It’s probably one statement that feels so obviously correct that people upvote it without even bothering to read the article.
What is the sound of one banana clapping?
Zatoichi approves.
Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.
Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.
Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?
Whoa dude!
PS This is a great shower thought!!!
You’re our hero!
How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?
Is it still being implemented? This awesome article is from 2022.
I just tried to look for newer hits, but I keep getting articles from 2022 (though several from Nature)
I apologize if I haven’t seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).
I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It’s not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.
I don’t claim it’s the best way, it’s just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.
It’s particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting
Edit: added last sentence
In a similar fashion, you can wonder about killing opponents in the localized Finnish version of Mortal Kombat
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to see that!
Edit: fixed grammar
This is tragic.
While the Wikipedia page lists food poisonings from sea turtles as rare, it still feels like a Russian Roulette kind of meal.
Would you eat something knowing that there is a nonzero chance it might kill you (as in really off you, not just give you a bad night at the bathroom)?
I suppose the answer is a lot of people would, since the article itself mentioned another recent poisoning.
It reminds me of the blowfish which is also lethally poisonous if not handled by someone who’s certified to do so.
I suppose everything in life has a risk and I’ve done my share of reckless things, but rolling the dice on food never appealed to me.
Edit: fixed grammar
Off topic but related: you guys just broke the whole super hero concept for me. Now I can’t go back to reading comics or watching movies ignoring all of these things. I suppose I am happy to be my normal me (though perhaps super strength isn’t so bad)!
This link has been posted and discussed on Reddit too.
Of course, we shouldn’t care about what people on Reddit think (and I noticed this post by chance since I log on there very rarely now), but some users in the thread genuinely ask about joining Lemmy and so I guess it’s useful to know about possible obstacles to trying it that they may perceive.
Thanks! I actually misread the last line by OP (sorry, I read it before going to bed!).
The comparison makes sense now
I don’t mean to be argumentative, but I want to genuinely understand your comparison: Scottish English and American English are the exact same language (sure there are differences that can be assimilated to regionalisms), but Spanish and Portuguese are two different languages (they come from the same root ane grammar is similar, but not the same, the vocabulary is generally different (though similar sounding)).
When you compare Scottish English and American English, I tend to see a relationship more similar to Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal.
Cheers, mate!
Beef with chicken for the man with the wok hat at table two, please!
I thought about going with “Royale with chicken” as opposed to “Royale of chicken”, but I went with the second because I thought that the Royale is already intended to be a quarter pounder of beef and it might have seemed beef+chicken instead of a quarter pounder of chicken 😁
Well, “Snakes in pants” doesn’t have the same ring to it, but it’s now more real than the movie!
