You can say Brutain on the internet.

Either way, a banana would be useful.
- Comment on Too late 1 week ago:
I only eat bread from Ötzi’s stomach.
- Comment on Lab anxiety 1 week ago:
Maybe it’s just me, but inconclusive results are still results, and get you a tiny step closer to the solution by redirecting you in a different direction.
- Comment on Learning Japanese 2 weeks ago:
I usually add context for this exact reason. You get lazy once, and there you go.
- Comment on Learning Japanese 2 weeks ago:
That’s admirable! I looked it up in translate and got a completely different result. I think I know what was going on : ) 🦃
- Comment on Learning Japanese 2 weeks ago:
I think we can - but just see how many people in your country call Turkey Türkiye (they made a request back in 2022) - and that was just one country, not all.
- Comment on Learning Japanese 2 weeks ago:
It’s like calling the entire country of the Netherlands Holland. Holland(ia?) is part of the Netherlands which gave the name of the country in a bunch of languages.
This is weird, by the way, I just wrote about the exact same thing not too long ago.
- Comment on What a great idea 2 weeks ago:
I used to work at this kiosk which was inside a café. A customer wanted to pay from the inside, which can happen, but it’s rare. Since the reader was cable wired to the plug at the window, I had to bring it to where he was standing, but the cable wasn’t long enough. I pulled it out as much as I could, and waited for him to step forward and reach out with his card is his hand.
He was just standing there, waving his card at the machine from ~3-4 feet away. Like, I don’t know, at one point the cats reader would go “HEY, that card is Larry! Hi, Larry, how are you doing you old sonofabitch?”

So they will be just called snakes.
- Comment on There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people. 2 weeks ago:
know that most of the rest of the human race are decent
The proportional amount of people who happily support these regimes, and/or don’t care… I have doubts.
- Comment on ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants 2 weeks ago:
I’m slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.

- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 weeks ago:
True, my bad for a poor word choice. I guess ‘people’ would have been more appropriate. But I guess the rest holds.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 weeks ago:
Some executioner style villain
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 weeks ago:
Or Németország in Hungarian. And Hungary is Magyarország in Hungarian. Ország just means country, so they’re just “German country” and “Hungarian country”, literally.
Most slavic countries also call Germany Německo or the like.
This happens when there’s no fast global media when you meet a new nation, and you can’t copy someone else’s homework to come up with a name for them. Or when you copy someone else’s homework, instead of actually asking a member of that nation.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 weeks ago:
AFAIK French has something similar. I might be wrong, but similarly to the Holland/Netherlands (Nederlanden) story, it was named after one of the tribes in Germany (alamanni, “all men”), before the great unification.
- Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’” 4 weeks ago:
I’m sure my reasoning would bounce off just one question later, but my next question would be that if god knows everything then why does he test people’s faith? He doesn’t need to, since he knows already whether you have faith or not. Also, are hundreds of million years old dinosaur bones really the most brilliant way of testing someone’s faith?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
On the one hand, his posts contain a non-negligible number of “boomer” style memes (could be stuff like wife bad, targeted at minorities, vegans, whatever - not necessarily actual examples, just trying to define “boomer” humour), and some of them end up getting downvoted into negatives.
On the other hand, he’s bringing content to Lemmy regularly. I’m not saying that’s enough on its own, but I can complain all day about niche communities being dead/empty, and then I don’t post shit. He does. More people should do that.
Just do it right, though.
- Comment on The hard work of calling out anyone who doesn't fully agree with him. 5 weeks ago:
Now that all the corn is gone… should we just all mark every single post as NSFW? I guess it’s fine, since it’s been the case with Mickey7 for a while.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I suspected it was rage bait, starting with the British isles being coloured green, despite the existence of the word ‘toe’ there.

I could only find the “original”, without the bottom text. The one with the comment is just as blurry. Image
- Comment on How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t sleep with a bra, either. It’s just an unnecessary layer, preventing my skin from breathing properly. The straps would also be just in the way. I’m a cis male, though.

Nah, you’re looking at the underside of a 46 billion light years tall bride.
- Comment on The British Empire 1 month ago:
Nononono, you don’t get it: looking at the past 4+ governments, I think they want to increase the birth rate of the right people.
I was so naïve back when had I thought the Labour would be any different from the Tories…

- Comment on Pioneer species 2 months ago:
Huh, I never heard of whackaroo before (neither did my keyboard app)!
It’s a non-English one, and we “break” the “road” (also path) when we cut a path in the forest.
- Comment on Even though I dislike Reddit... 2 months ago:
I think the main cause is the time aspect. Like the lemming above, I’m missing the old Reddit. The bottom half of the picture is the (somewhat) new reddit. But yeah, I’m aware it hasn’t changed overnight only 1-2 years ago.
