  • I see! Wow, sugarfree Coca-cola has no labels!? Yeah I guess it wouldn't get any of those five but I would never say it's healthy. Maybe they should revise the standards for the labels, especially if they're gonna make a snack marketed as healthy that gets 3 seals. Seems like being made from natural ingredients (such as cane sugar instead of sweeteners) and without flavorants or colorants (opposite of what Zero Coke did to not get any labels) is one of the big selling points of this chocolate bar, so perhaps it would be a good idea to account for this with the seals somehow. But then people might think the government is just changing the standards to their conveniences so I don't really know.

  • Now I don't really know that much about their system, but I would assume that almost every sweet would get at least one seal unless it's made very healthy and not a sweet anymore? I don't really speak Spanish, but in the link you sent there is an illustration of a girl smiling and holding a bag of cookies with two seals and with sparkles on the bag. Maybe the point is to choose the ones with fewer seals, and not to try to go for none?

  • Haha not actually. In Chinese maybe when doctors talk with each other they sometimes will use the English term (by this I mean the Latin/Greek-origin one), but mostly they translate the word bits (morphemes) one by one to Chinese (低血鈉, where 低=low, 血=blood, 鈉=sodium). They never ever use the English term to patients. You won't be able to find anyone in China or Taiwan who knows what "hyponatremia" means unless they're in the medical industry or they're just very good at English.

  • It's conforting that I wasn't the only one who found this concerning. But anyways I don't have Google (the app; I do have some other Google services installed) or Gemini installed.

  • I lost it at "root it and install Graphene." GrapheneOS does not work with rooted devices, and rooting is considered a security risk by the Graphene dev team haha.

  • Can anyone explain why this post is funny to me? I don't know much about Interstellar.

  • loled at how the name of the Chinese guy is just "generic Chinese name" put into Google Translate

  • Yes, haha, I saw your other comment about this off-by-one issue. Interesting that it happens at all.

  • Is there any specific reason to using 31 random characters instead of 32?

  • I haven't ever touched a steam deck either, but I would assume that games on the steam deck just work without any tinkering with the shell.

  • Offtopic, but do you think it's better to use HTTPS for non-public web services that must be accessed through ssh?

  • I only speak a very tiny bit of German so apologies if I get this wrong, but this reads like English forced into German.

    No. That is time for German learning. Then you can shitpost in two languages make.

    Oh wow I just realized that there's the weird make in the end so maybe it was proper German after all?

  • That description of 2010 Korea sounds like Japan, except it hasn't changed in Japan as it did in Korea. Some public baths outright ban people with tattoos. Tattoos are still pretty much a taboo (pun intended) in Japan.

  • I just looked it up, and apparently "impregnate" isn't in the list either. Yes, the word isn't offensive by itself, but I think they remove quite a lot of words that might cause problems in the what3words address. There is way more than enough words anyway.

    This is from their FAQ:

    How do you handle offensive words?

    A what3words address is made up of 3 random words, and they are not intended to convey any meaning to a location. However, we know that the nature of using words means that unexpected interpretations can crop up.

    For each new what3words language, our team consults a broad range of native speakers. We then work together to remove rude and offensive words from our word lists, navigating cultural sensitivities wherever we can.

    Some users feel that certain words in our lists are unsuitable or inappropriate, so we always take feedback onboard. However, one of our key features – that our addresses are permanently fixed – means that it is not possible to update the word list. Instead, we can look for opportunities to adapt our approach when developing future languages.

    Tip: if you’d rather avoid a certain what3words address because of a particular word or combination of words, we’d suggest you use the next square along.

  • unfortunately the people at What3Words excluded words people might find offensive from the word list, so that place does not exist

  • thanks now i feel more relaxed on my toilet

  • holy fuck i think i've seen this exact guy on the metro multiple times. no clue why he does this or who he is though.
