I expected Lemmy to be less repost-obsessed than Reddit yet here we are.
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 2 weeks ago:
If anyone’s interested, languages follow similar differentiation patterns as species in evolution. Ways this occurs include: allopatric (barrier separates past equivalents), peripatric (migration), and sympatric (subcultures), etc.
It’s the same reason Matthew Rhys can do a spot-on American accent despite having an outrageous Welsh accent irl: people are more likely to grow up on the media of more mainstream languge so it becomes the lingua franca. (love Rhys to clarify)

That’s the founder of MS13 right there.

- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 2 weeks ago:
PsychoWiz once told me that the scientific names of organisms are just letters and sounds, and have no bearing on physical traits or where the species was found. They hate linguistics and call it witchcraft.

The only one of mine I can remember was a mashup of the series Heroes and lemonparty. Highbrow stuff. It is where I learned all my editing skills tho. hehe

The first big meme competition I ever got excited about was back over on ytmnd[dot]com, whose name origin was of course Sean Connery in Finding Forrester inexplicably shouting, “youtube.com/…/UgkxYYH7dLJkROLWXycRUY-khtMVJvkjtNt…”

- Comment on Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes. 5 weeks ago:
Evidence that may contradict your claim is that the average worldwide IQ increases by 3 points every 10 years. So the species appears to slowly be getting smarter. Dumbness may just be more noteworthy in our culture.

- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 5 weeks ago:
Agree to misagree. I think it’s a little funny to defend her name and then pull the rug out when describing how it’s appropriating an unexpected culture. I celebrate our differences.
- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 5 weeks ago:
And unless I’m mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter. And her name Bindi isn’t culture appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it’s a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for “Little Girl” which they appropriated.

It was common practice over on Reddit, I guess so as not to promote social media accounts and focus on just the lols. Still learning the expectations here on Lemmy. The account is ganef.bsky.social btw.

It is. Unfortunately we live in the satire timeline.

- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 month ago:
However the Battery Saver mode on Androids that only charges the battery up to 80% DOES extend battery life. Substantial evidence shows that a high State of Charge accelerates degradation through: solid electrolyte interphase growth, loss of lithium inventory, and loss of active materials. (See: mdpi.com)

RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
Is he related to Aaron Swartz?
Used to be hard, now he's just wet and soft
