- Comment on When you count, your lips don't touch until 1 million. 1 week ago:
Ah ja, in Dutch that would be “zeven”.
Maybe some people touch lips when saying the “F”, in that case we would fail at “vijf” (fünf)

Huh. Same in Dutch!
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
The first flaw is not discussing things with the people in charge of tariffs such as the secretary of treasury.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Even his buddy’s Tesla’s had to double check with him to make sure they weren’t going to be tariffed, so I’m feeling that’s less on Drumpf’s part and more on Musk’s.
- Comment on Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means your threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices. 2 weeks ago:
You just went from having to be immoral when you’re poor to being poor being righteous?
Please make up your mind.
- Comment on Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means your threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices. 2 weeks ago:
I read “The rich have that opinion.” at first and that somehow fits just as well.
- Comment on is walking away the best way to deal with a work clique? 2 weeks ago:
Going by OP’s post, their co-workers can’t sue them; management will listen, the union will listen, but they’ll do some theatrics and nothing gets changed in the end. Just break their legs :-)
- Comment on Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension 2 weeks ago:
Android is a pretty good development platform; it’s really just the keyboard and larger screen that are missing.
My Android tablet with keyboard has replaced my laptop as portable development computer, easily.
- Comment on Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11. 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Well darn, can’t argue with that!
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not, it’s actually not normal behaviour.
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone is saying that’s not a friend, but I’m seeing paranoia or at least anxiety.
Wether they’re a friend or not doesn’t really matter here, take care of yourself, talk with people of you need to, okay?
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 2 weeks ago:
What’s the C-word? Cunt?
In that case yes, it’s cunty behaviour but that’s not normal behaviour.
- Comment on The Pentagon is the best shape for a large buildings as long as all surrounding buildings are also Pentagons 2 weeks ago:
Funny for once, but highly inefficient. Hexagons remain bestagons.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
There are ten digits in our numeral system, and the thumb is neither a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 weeks ago:
Oh neat, thanks!
- Comment on If children are taught to read by AI there is no shot they don't teach them wrong and change language for ever. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I believe your edit.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 weeks ago:
Where do you get potassium hydroxide from in the 12th century?
- Comment on The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day. 2 weeks ago:
If you have an account and are subscribed to YouTubers you want to see regularly, just visit www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
You choose what YouTube serves you, much like visiting your subscribed communities overview on Lemmy!
Bonus tip: If you’re on Linux, install
webapp-manager, add a webapp for the address mentioned with a browser of your choosing, its own addons if you’d like such as Return YouTube Dislike and Enhancer for YouTube! - Comment on Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content. 2 weeks ago:
At some point around retirement age, humans seem to cognitively revert back to children
I know someone who works in a elderly care home, she says roughly the same: “Ouderen verkindsen” (elderly turn into children)
Your cognitive abilities really do seem to diminish after a certain point, no matter where. It’s annoying they think they’re adults and demand respect…
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 2 weeks ago:
In case of the US they’ll ask “Oh? You reject him? You and what army?”
You can’t really deny the US much, y’know.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Still fits!
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 3 weeks ago:
For BeefPiano@lemmy.world ; I think the key words are “that force businesses who are open anyway”
Perhaps it shouldn’t be a public holiday but some other law that forces (half) a day off on that day.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think this says more about OP’s information bubble.
- Comment on Maybe creating an ocean of AI disinformation so large it dilutes all verifiable truth is the key to getting people to unplugged. 3 weeks ago:
I think they meant Russia’s disinformation machine.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 4 weeks ago:
If anything, I think it’s people used to Windows or macOS that don’t want anything to change that tend to hate Linux systems; it’s not exactly Windows/macOS (and doesn’t run exactly the MS Office and Adobe suits) so they hate it.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 4 weeks ago:
- Comment on Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 4 weeks ago:
Hell, trans people staying in the US are in danger of being disappeared now.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 4 weeks ago:
China’s government is operating illegal “police stations” inside the United States and Canada
That’d be pretty big if it’s true, how come nobody seems to know about this?
Do you have any good sources on this?
