  • If I set my settings to English why can't I just use Lemmy in English and never know that the person I'm chatting to is doing so in German and they never know that I'm doing so in English?

    That would be really cool, unfortunately there is no translation software anywhere near that robust. Translation is a difficult and complicated job even for humans, and it's one of those jobs that is way harder for computers than it is for us.

  • im not "pretending" anything, im making a point about horrible crimes people here thoughtlessly commit. you're the one desperate to prove you're a big boy who knows the meanings of basic english words and "prove me wrong" about things that are not related to the point you and i both know im making.

  • while we're being all

    about definitions, let me point out that in English, the word "food" implies that something should be eaten, not only that it can be. for example, the classic finding nemo line, "Fish are friends, not food."

  • if people eat it for sustenance it's food

    that's a pretty shitty definition of food which includes humans and dogs

  • Usual where? What kind of barbarians just thoughtlessly murder for fun?

  • Dragonfruit meat. Why are so many people here pretending it's normal to interpret this as being about animal corpses???

  • Fahrenheit was not an entirely arbitrary choice

    it's not arbitrary, it's based on the uh, the freezing temperature of uh, ammonium chloride! we're all familiar with how cold that is! and, and, and, uh, the upper end is, uh ... they decided on 96. it's not arbitrary!!!

  • but...

    but... i wanna see how far i can yeet the fish

    but...

  • ne thing they do a decent job of is actually punishing people for bad behavior

    Way too little, way too late. But yeah it does always feel good seeing the report feedback.

  • Why bother reporting them? They suck, they are going to do it again.

    They might think twice if they got banned from Steam and lost their tens of thousands of hours and thousands of dollars worth of stuff on their steam profile.

  • unrealistic, the botanist didnt reply "ah yes, it is the humble [some latin bullshit], my fifth favorite tree in its order, most noteworthy for the shape of its leaves. it's actually most closely related to carrots." and then, of course, add "fuck yeah big tree"

  • We're communists, baby, why wouldn't we back each other up?

  • this is all readily available information lol no one disputes this stuff

    Here's the wikipedia summary of it, I can get proper sources if you want but that seems like a lot of work to verify something that no one disagrees about

  • right? next he's gonna tell us about how he dunked on the local middle schoolers and then beat up a 90 year old man

  • fuck off, racist disgusting scum

  • I did not specify and used the broad term of sex work which probably made the interpretations so varied

    So why did you do it again?

    "Sex work" does not exist. You are grouping a wide variety of very different things. Posting naked pictures on the internet and having sex with someone are not the same action.

  • The exception I can think of as a native speaker is when the place is strongly implied. Like, "Now I put this..." and trail off, but it's obvious where I'm putting it because you're watching me put it somewhere that I've probably indicated multiple times already.
