- Comment on Human Zoo 1 day ago:
Go visit Chester Zoo, where the enclosures are so big that you often can’t see the animals. It’s deliberate, they want their animals to be able to hide.
Both zoos in Berlin are a fucking disgrace, though.
- Comment on Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 days ago:
Note you can be allergic to memory foam, which will make those earbuds hurt like hell (ask me how I know)
- Comment on [Video] Cops not sure whether to arrest man with "Plasticine Action" shirt for supporting terrorism 3 days ago:
This is the UK. They don’t have arrest quotas. That was a myth spread by the tabloids about 15 years ago.
- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 3 days ago:
Speaking another language is game changing, it doesn’t matter which language it is. It’ll make it much easier to learn another language, for example, because you’ll get a better grasp of grammar. In fact, that grasp of grammar will help you speak your own language better.
You’ll also be more likely to treat people who speak a different language as people rather than things.

We’re not all 12 on here, Kevin.
- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 1 week ago:
Right? Stop relying on the system, America. It’s not working. You’re going to need to actually DO something. Like striking for a week.
- Comment on Lunar New Year is just generational trauma and toxicity hidden behind a veil of false unity and false happiness 1 week ago:
Tradition is just being bullied by dead people. See also Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 1 week ago:
The UK is about to kick out its PM because of the Epstein files. It turns out a prominent politician (Peter Mandelsson) has been giving away state secrets. The PM appointed him ambassador in 2024 KNOWING he was involved with Epstein.
Read the fucking news, Lemmy. I suggest france.tv and the Bylines network.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 1 week ago:
No, no it’s not. Pay attention. Read the news. France, Poland and the UK are all investing people based on the Epstein files.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 1 week ago:
I thought they’d backed out of that?
- Comment on We dont talk about what happened to Alex Pretti enough. 1 week ago:
If you don’t think what’s happening in the US won’t affect us you’re an idiot. Hell, it’s already affecting us.

The Bylines network is good and free (apart from the necessary ads, of course).
- Comment on YSK that Politico is a subsidiary of Axel Springer, a right-wing propaganda house 2 weeks ago:
Bild is a shitty tabloid. Love, Germany.

My son aged in a very similar way. I’m sure he hasn’t had any surgery.
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 2 weeks ago:
I mean, your handle is a bit… offensive? Dumb? Idiotic?

No, you’re not.
- Comment on E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles. 2 weeks ago:
No. Because you have to pedal.
- Comment on E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles. 2 weeks ago:
eBikes require pedaling. I don’t know what you had, but it wasn’t an eBike.
- Comment on I don't actually read the news. I surmise the news based on memes that begin popping up for which I have no context. 2 weeks ago:
Headlines are written to mislead you. Don’t skim headlines.
- Comment on What is the best alternative to a "smart" cell phone today? 2 weeks ago:
There’s one that has a switch that puts you offline, but I can’t remember the name of it.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 2 weeks ago:
I had one with an entire burrata in the middle last Saturday. It required surgery with a knife.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 2 weeks ago:
Some people hate getting dirty hands, they just don’t like the feeling of it. Just eat pizza as you please.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 2 weeks ago:
Rich people don’t care how you eat your pizza. Stuck up people do, but you get plenty of those without money.

Just fuck off back to reddit, obnoxious teenager.

Checkout is a noun. You can only check out.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Didn’t work, got defunded anyway.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 3 weeks ago:
Everyone knew. The Holocaust is just the Jewish part, by the way. It started with dissidents and “unnatural” people.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 3 weeks ago:
I had an odd smell. My mother also kept telling me off because I “didn’t change my underwear.”
When the pain started when I was a student it turned out I’d had a bad infection for years.
- Comment on YSK about this Italian tradition of putting corrupt politicians in a cage and dipping them in the water 3 weeks ago:
Thorough. You can never be sure.
