And that one needs a continuation of the story and lore, unlike GTA…

Half Life 3 not coming out was a joke before Duke Nukem Forever

But it’s also NoStupidQuestions.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 4 days ago:
I think you need to specify your European country, because small French villages have awful infrastructure while their cities have amazing infrastructure.
But even here in the Netherlands, if I’d live in a village and I wanted to go to another village further away I’d need to take the train to the nearest city and then take another train to said village. This often takes much longer than by car. Also, while basic shopping needs like a supermarket, greengrocer and some basic repair shops might be there (maybe just the supermarket) you don’t have access to… Anything else, really, and need to take the car there, too.

Good to know kids have been scarred with fake feces since the 90’s!
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 4 days ago:
I recognise that “kentawor” is correct, but reject it because “sentar” just sounds more correct.

Nintendo Switch 2 getting more details, and knowing Nintendo probably a release date within a short time span, is true.
For one, April 1st has always been a date to make big announcements in Japan, not one for jokes. Nintendo just learned to move that one day for westerners (:

I mean, Google announcing a Möbius-shaped keyboard would still be a good April 1st joke, “obviously fake news” from a news source wouldn’t be because it’s not obvious, anymore.

I’ve seen the Tiktoks a million times, yes.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 1 week ago:
I guess so, but it’s still very much a large scale social media as we know it (e.g. YouTube, Twitter, Reddit…), and definitely a far cry from private chats on platforms like FB Messenger or WhatsApp…
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 1 week ago:
Your first three sum up to:
- Italian food but worse
- Mexican food but worse
- Food that’s probably better in most other places
I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG

Really? Because Weibo is much like Twitter or Instagram in China; everybody and their grandma is on it, it has everything from memes to politicians posting their thoughts. It seems very public to me, albeit if you have an account (which just about everyone there does)
What did you mean by isolated?
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 1 week ago:
I can tell you, most of South East Asia operates on Instagram and Facebook. And Chinese people’s obsession with Weibo (like Mastodon) and Douyin (Chinese TikTok) are also on their whole own level!
Reddit, what Lemmy aims to replace, is very much Western.

See, even your metaphor contains US-only brands.
Also, what’t up with Americans speaking in brands?
Why can’t it be a local shop a few streets away from the supermarket? - Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 1 week ago:
Geograohically they aren’t, but they’re culturally similar, sure.
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 1 week ago:
It also seems like English changing the letter J from a /j/ sound to a /dzj/ sound didn’t help, going by how “Iacobus” became James (or I could see Jacob in there… With English’ old J)

What power?
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 1 week ago:
jimjam5 wouldn’t mind the name Saint Jim?
I feel you’re biased 😋
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 1 week ago:
It’s wild that the name Diego becomes James in English!
I would’ve thought of Daniel or something but no, JAMES
- Comment on Are there really only a few New 3DS exclusive games? 1 week ago:
Ah, yeah okay, good to know!
My 3D experience went swimmingly on my N3DS 😅
- Comment on Are there really only a few New 3DS exclusive games? 1 week ago:
The only 3DS I had was a N3DS, maybe that explains why I’ve never had issues with the 3D while most people seem to complain about it?
- Comment on Video game characters should swear when they get hurt 1 week ago:
I feel it’s very dependent on the person wether someone swears, shouts or grunts when getting hurt.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
Isn’t that just a bandwidth issue?
- Comment on All my sisters are Independent Workers (Dentist, Manager), while all my brothers and I are salaried workers (Oil Company, Restaurant, Food Distributor). 1 week ago:
Why is Independent Workers capitalised but salaried workers isn’t?

quarterly shower
Even humans wouldn’t recognise you before and after that.
- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 1 week ago:
Take shoes for example. Why is a uk men’s size 10 so wildly different from a UK women’s size 10?
EU shoe sizes aren’t different based off gender; women just tend to have size 37 when men tend to have size 42.
- Comment on Meow 5 weeks ago:
I could understand having a pet, but not taking in a random stray without question.
Some strange cat walks into my house? It gets plopped right back into the street, that ain’t my cat!
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
That’s not art, that’s a tool. Tools can be made better through a confident statistics box.
