What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

Jump

  • Boiseans pronounce it boy-see, but everyone else pronounces it boy-zee. It makes it easy to tell who is from out of town

    • What app/program do you wish existed and what does it do that you've not found elsewhere?

    Jump

  • I would be ecstatic if someone ported AutoHotkey to Linux. AutoKey doesn't come close to cutting it for me.

    • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • They might have meant to say wiser. When I was a teenager, I remember being sharper than my parents with academic subjects, but there is much more to life than that.

    • Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?

  • Open individualism is extremely similar to what you've described. I have a hunch that something like this is the case, though I'd stop short of calling it a belief.

    There's some good discussion on /r/OpenIndividualism.

  • It strikes me that I have no point of reference because I haven't seen any ads for 20 years. If they stopped doing y2k edgy-style ads, what are they like now?

    • Does anyone truly think times are better now than 30 years ago? (US)

    Jump

  • Absolutely agree that abortion was a significant reason for falling crime. Should be interesting to see what happens. I personally think crime will never quite get back to where it was because we condition kids to spend more time indoors these days.

    • Am I alone in this feeling?

    Jump

  • Very curious if you'd be willing to share your filter for that. I think a few of us would find it helpful.

  • Violent crime is down. Smoking is down. Teenage pregnancy is down.

    That's about all I've got.

    • What is some restful/profoundly relaxing video game music?

    • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • Back when reddit had awards, the admins would routinely award posts to make it appear like people were actually buying them.

    • Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials

  • Plastic has been around for 80 years. Shouldn't we know something by now

    • What other things have options where everything is so bad that it's a matter of "what sucks the least" rather than "what's the best"?

  • I love my cats, but this is one of many reasons I don't allow them in my bedroom.

  • The left went along with it because they were tired of all the "then why is it so cold in winter?" comments from the stupid half of the family tree.

  • I remember when 1.5C was the threshold instead of 2. We're already living in yesterday's doomsday scenario.

  • Lots of know-it-alls proving your point

    • Why didn't the Democrats release the Epstein client list?

    Jump

  • Even if it comes to light, I have doubts anything will come of it. Look what happened with the Panama papers. Basically only Iceland did anything about it.

    • What was the last image you saved from the internet?

    Jump

    • Firefox, Plex, Google Drive, Google Maps, Honey, BetterHelp, VPNs

  • I think this git diff speaks for itself.

    The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people?
