When we microwave in our house we say we're going to "zap it". What do you say?

  • Funnily enough, there is no single word for this in German of all languages. You just say "heat something up in the microwave". The standard verb form would be "mikrowellieren", but I've never heard anyone say that.

    • People of Lemmy, what does your egg carton look like? No fair changing the setup for the picture.

  • Ok, then I understand. In my household we sometimes need 4 eggs for scrambled eggs or pancakes a week. And I never do the floating test, I just pay attention to how the egg smells.

  • How long did you keep the eggs for? I've never had one go bad in my entire life. Where I live, eggs can be bought in boxes of 6, 8 or 10.

  • I'm sure you're referring to these Opalithplättchen, aren't you?

    Impressive that you could remember the name. I'm German and had to look it up since I never heard about Opalith before.

    • Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?

    Jump

  • Exactly! Bicycle pedals have a left-hand thread on the left-hand side and "normal" threads on the right-hand side.

  • In the plumbing sector, left-hand threads are used whenever two pipe ends need to be connected that cannot be rotated. The connector is then equipped with a left-hand and right-hand thread and can therefore easily be screwed between them.

    So it's not just typical for Nordic countries, but depends on the application.

  • VPNs aren't working unfortunately, at least if you're not logged in. They completely block the site when you're trying to access reddit via VPN. This is a VPN related forum where this is discussed.

    • What stupid injury left a long lasting impact on you?

    Jump

  • 20 years ago, I wanted to jump onto a concrete table tennis table in the school playground from a standing position with both feet at the same time. I didn't make it and hit my shin up to the bone.

    After it was stitched up, it became badly infected weeks later and I had to have another operation while on vacation.

    Now I have a 1 inch scar directly on the shin bone which hurts a lot every time I hit it.

    • Happy New Year Coders.
