I'm a big fan of this one. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Space Haven etc. Seems to be in committed and constant development for both content and bugfixes.

Wy ar peple s fucking upst wth a bt of cunting cnsorship? Surly t dosn't shitting mtter f somone wnts t cnsor sme of ther twatting wrds?

Hopefully by that point, it can also be used to generate a fake video file of "someone paying attention" to output to a virtual camera :)

It depends where it was in the country. Even now, after fast travel, radio, television etc, you can still get completely different vowels within 100 miles.

If I took the word "road" and travelled 100 miles either North/South/East/West, I could find it pronounced (as it would sound to me) as reud, raad, rird or roud.

I know exactly what you mean (and I'm very familiar with the behaviour in real life), but I can't say I've personally seen it on Lemmy. I know a lot of it depends on what you're subscribed to or federated with, but rather than "100% arseholes" I felt Lemmy was more like "95% pretty nice people".

Yorkshire:
T' (Glottal stop sound)

Do you ever worry that maybe it's just you?

[Edit] I mean "just you who thinks this", and therefore there may be an issue with your perception of others, I'm not trying to say "just you are an arsehole".

Yes, it does appear that "all-you-can-drink" seems to be part of the offer in many (perhaps all?) cases.

Anyway, definitely don't start taking off your trousers and underwear.

I had a similar problem with a cafe bar doing a "Bottomless Brunch".

Anyway, it turns out it's some weird, trendy new phrase for "all-you-can-eat" or "buffet".

It is not in any way along the same lines as a "Topless Beach".

You can only use Apple Branded iSocks™.

If you want to use normal socks you need an adapter.

We don't quite know what you mean. Do it on Prince Andrew first, as an example.

I may agree with some of your comment, but "trump" has definitely meant fart (at least in some parts of the UK) from at least the mid 1980s until the present day. It's seemingly still used by young people as well, though not as commonly as it was when I was younger (though I did hear a "who's fucking trumped, it fucking stinks" on the bus last week).

We all laughed at Donald Trump when we first heard his name in the 1990s, though most people didn't believe he was real (and it was hard to check such things, pre-internet). We certainly didn't believe he had a wife called something like "I want to trump".

Though we did play Top Trumps, we also definitely laughed at its name, and amongst our group of friends, introduced flatulence-based punishments for the loser.

Here's it in some dictionaries: "(intransitive) British slang to expel intestinal gas through the anus" Collins English Dictionary

"to release gas from the bowels through the bottom"
Cambridge English Dictionary

"slang or colloquial. The act of breaking wind audibly"
Oxford English Dictionary

I don't know why this matters to me so much :D

Maybe I'm just scared that our language is dying.

Sorry, I'm not American, and I've likely only seen it on Lemmy, and likely in satirical forms.

Anyway, I've read the other linked info and a bit more, so at least feel I do know now :)

I'm also not a youth, but I'll absolutely take that as a compliment, thank you very much :D

What what what?!? The "Tread harder, daddy" snake is based on a real thing?!?

The American Right-Wing Christians don't seem to care for Jesus - they appear to pretty much ignore everything in the New Testament because it's "lefty and woke". They do seem to like the Old Testament bits where you kill/enslave/rape/rob people who are weaker or slightly different from you.

I guess it's meant to make him look like a King or Emperor on a coin - so it doesn't matter if he looks like a multi-chinned potato in a wig, he looks like King multi-chinned potato in a wig.

Sorry I wasn't clear about that - my replaced ones have never come off again - it's the original ones on the shirt which tend to.

[Edit] Note that I am always wearing a shirt, and much of my work is manual/technical, so mine perhaps get knocked off a bit more frequently than others might.

Yeah, it totally makes sense for some uses.

That is significantly more complicated than how I was taught to sew in a button. Is this just for big metal buttons on jeans or something? It seems massively over the top for normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Roughly what I was taught (for a 4 hole button, in a "cross" shape):

1. Shove threaded needle through material into hole in button
2. Go across diagonally and go down through the opposite hole and through the material
3. Under the material, go across sideways a bit and come up in a different hole
4. Repeat 1-3 a bunch of times until it feels strong enough.
5. Tie off the thread and cut off the excess.

You say "best", "highest performing" etc, but we asked a panel of immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders who their ideal upper management employee was - and they unanimously suggested other immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders, and suggested that employing anyone else is a DEI hire.
